We went to Las Vegas for my birthday. It was, after all, a semi-big birthday. I turned 35 of all things! Remember how I made a list of birthday wishes? Not only did many come true, but many fabulous things happened that weren’t on the list. Here was my list (including some major budget busting wishes, but that is what a wish is for, right?):

1. A mix CD. My friend Daynia (DJ Daynia from Down Under) totally came through for me on this one, as a disc just arrived in the mail.
2. This Hello Kitty watch from Swatch. My husband made this one come true, in addition to two other awesome Swatch watches that he bought for me from the Swatch shop in Las Vegas. Throw in another fun watch from my mom, and my birthday was full of watch goodness.
3. A dinner that I don’t have to cook, or pick up. Not only did I have a dinner that I didn’t have to cook, I had several of them. And breakfasts, and lunches too! It was heaven.
4. New walking shoes, and a gym membership too.
5. An overnight someplace fun with my hubby. Going to Las Vegas gave me more than just one night someplace fun! We had three of them!
6. The Electra Swing Tandem 3i bike.
7. New rollerblade wheels.
8. The Hello Kitty Fender guitar.
9. A garden dome green house.
10. A B-52′s tee. The first concert I ever went to!

While in Las Vegas, other dreams came true. I have always wanted to swim with dolphins, and while we didn’t get to do that, we did visit them and they were so close! I kept wanting to reach out and touch them, and I could have done that too if it was allowed! They were also very fun and friendly, playing and jumping out of the water. We also saw the sharks, stingrays, and jellyfish at Mandalay Bay, where I did touch stingrays many times! Also, we went to Titanic exhibit at the Luxor where we were staying. Eating at The Rainforest Cafe was another highlight, especially since they sat us right next to a fish tank. So many happy memories to start a new year with.

Back at home we celebrated with my family, who gave me some awesome gifts. For the garden, a tether ball set and Bocce ball set. We are going to have loads of fun in the backyard this summer. Also some books from my wish list, a game for the Wii, and even a gift card for another overnight in a theme hotel. I got spoiled! Seems only fair since I had to get older.

June was a busy month all around actually, and so there will be many catching up posts to come. Oh yes, and did I mention that we saw PINK FLAMINGOS in Las Vegas too? Well, we did!

I turn 35 this Thursday! I can hardly believe it! I certainly don’t feel like I should be in my thirties, let alone 35! In my mind I feel much younger, but I hear that is how it is for everyone.

Just for fun, here is my birthday wish list. I know some are a bit “out there” budget wise, but it never hurts to put it out there!

1. A mix CD with your favorite songs and/or songs that remind you of times we spent together.
2. This Hello Kitty watch from Swatch.
3. A dinner that I don’t have to cook, or pick up.
4. New walking shoes, and a gym membership too.
5. An overnight someplace fun with my hubby.
6. The Electra Swing Tandem 3i bike.
7. New rollerblade wheels.
8. The Hello Kitty Fender guitar.
9. A garden dome green house.
10. A B-52′s tee. The first concert I ever went to!

This photo has nothing to do with turning 35, but I found it funny. It was on a mini-golf course that we tried to play on last week. I say try, because although this photo looks nice, a few seconds after I took it, the rain started and it got very windy.
