Birthday Recap

I just received an amazing gift from Krista which reminded me that I hadn’t spoken about my birthday yet!

Thursday night brought Eric, Annie, Mike and Vero to the house for a BBQ. There was a LOT of food. We’re still picking through the leftovers! It was an amazing feast put on by Mike and Vero. Thanks guys!

We then headed out to a mini-putt course in Navan which I had never been to. What’s this? A course Ryan has never attempted? Blasphemy!

Well. Let me tell you that this was the most amazing course I’ve ever been to in my life! It had fountains and pools of water all over the place and there’s even a hole where you have to run the ball down the river! Amazing stuff really! Rob ended up coming out after his volleyball game and played a few holes with us. Turns out that the course was created/owned/managed by some people from Kapuskasing! Incroyable!

We headed home to have a piece of cake and then I got my gift from Vero – a jambe drum! It’s an African drum which sits up to my knees. An excellent gift and I will enjoy it around the campfire (although I’m sure the neighbours will start complaining!) The power went out for a few hours in Orleans so we proceeded to just hang out and bang the drum for a few, and then headed to bed. Thanks babe! It is awesome!

Thanks to all who made my birthday a wicked time! Let’s not forget that the guys and gals at Katie’s cottage got me a cake, as well as Carrie and Philipp picked me up a wooden carving of a hand doing the ‘rock on’ sign. AWESOME! I want to mount it onto my car!

Oh, and what was the gift from Krista? Only an autographed copy of the script from the Pilot Episode of Dawson’s Creek! Ha ha, oh man, we laughed a few months ago when we realized we were both die-hard Dawson’s Creek fans. I wouldn’t say I am die-hard enough to scour the globe for an autographed script, but I’m definitely going to frame it! My fave part is she said it cost more to ship than to actually purchase!
