happy .5 to me

Yesterday was my half birthday. With everything that we had going on, I didn't think that Luis would remember, but he did :) He was really sweet and had cleaned the apartment so that it would look nice when I got home. We had a late lunch/early dinner at Macaroni Grill. And I was really impressed with the presents he got me. To be honest, I was expecting him to just drive me to the store and have me choose something for myself. I just didn't think he would have any idea what to get me. But he didn't. Instead he went to the store and got me a crock pot cookbook (which I've been wanting for a while), Jon & Kate's book (since I always watch their show), and some Reese's (my favorite candy bar right now). I love the idea of celebrating half birthdays. I think that most people (at least most young people) love their birthday. They love having a day where they get to be treated extra special. So why only celebrate once a year?

On a completely unrelated note: my knees hurt. That is all.
