13 August, 2007Happy Birthday Jimmy!
Saturday was Jimmy’s 23rd birthday, we had an awesome weekend. The weather was perfect after a week of over 100 degree, hazy days. It was sunny, breezy and in the low 80s. Perfect for a little walk.
Saturday morning I went for a run while the birthday boy slept in, then we did some yard work (don’t yell at me for making him do yard work on his birthday, it was his idea, turned out to be a perfect day for it though). Nothing like getting up early on a Saturday and raking your dirt. Haha I hate my yard.
Afterwards, we drove around Ghent for a bit and headed over toward Stockley Gardens. We decided to stop and walk by the river for a while.
We parked and walked through a neighborhood where all the houses look like castles and there is a ton of gorgeous, old architecture. We pretended that the Jaguars and Benzes parked on the curbs were ours and that we had just finished manicuring our perfect lawns.
It was such a gorgeous day and I loved seeing this part of the city that I’d never explored before.
Later that evening we headed to Katana Japanese Steakhouse in Ghent with a bunch of our friends to celebrate. There was good times and much slicing and dicing and throwing of shrimp.
We also saw The Bourne Ultimatum (a little disappointing) but overall it was an awesome day. Yesterday we went over to my mom’s and my family gave him a huge gift card to IKEA!
Happy birthday Jimmy! I hope 23 is one of the best years for you.

looks like a nice day! Happy birthday to Jimmy! I too, hope it is a good year for you. 23 for me ended up being a very big turning point in my life (and all for the good). Not that it has to be pivitol- it just was for me. Anyways, seriously, Happy Birthday! (and, haha, yardwork on his birthday. Men are so weird)
I love going to fancy neighborhoods and walking around! My best ever has been Louisville. Oh my, they have some nice houses!
I adore walking around Mowbray Arch at night so there's a clear view into all the windows (rich people don't use blinds apparently).
Hapy Birthday to your boyo.
I love how you have your hair :)
i agree with melanie, i like your hair also!
it's been the same here in pa weather wise. the past few days have been nice, but before that it was like 97-100 everyyyyyyday. and it's not just the heat that gets me, it's the dang humidity!
Happy - very belated - Birthday to him! Your photographs are always so stunning. That scenery looks lovely.
Happy Birthday to Jimmy!
You guys are really a great couple!
