Birthday Festivities Year 27

I am now 27 years old.  Wow.  I would like to think of myself as young still.  I still have three years until I am thirty!  We have started planning our high school reunion for next summer, 10 years.  It seems like it was just yesterday that I was in high school.  I enjoyed high school, but I have also enjoyed not being in high school, I feel the same about college.  I have loved, I have won, I have lost but I am happy with where I am in my life.  I wouldnt change anything, I have family and friends that I love.. I have had a lot of fun and adventures.. I cant wait for the rest of my life.

This year we planned a weekend of BBQ and river floating... The rain gods didnt feel too much like celebrating so we had rain every day last week.  I worried the river would be blown out and we told everyone it might be off. The rains slowed and the river wasnt blown out, so everyone still came to Portland.  Saturday night Jerry made some burgers, and black bean burgers (thanks to Raz) for the veggie heads..  I made some potato salad and we had mango salsa and chips and Rainbow funfetii cupcakes (thanks to JoAnn)!  Everything was soooo good.. The next morning we floated the river, it took us about 5 hours.  It was soooo much fun!  We all got soaked and it only rained a little bit.  You can see the river is a little dirty from all the rain, but it didn't alter our fun!

Thank you all my friends who came out and made my day a blast!  I am glad we got to ride to the Rio Grande!
