November 11, 2007 Lancaster, PA

This post is a thank you to my Will and all my friends. For the first time in years I had a happy birthday. Thank you all so much for the gifts and the fun. And thank you for all getting Lauren out from LA to visit. That was a most wonderful surprise.

Will got here Friday and showered me with love and gifts. We dressed up pretty and went out to Taj Mahal for dinner. I regret not having the thought to take a picture of us in fancy clothes. Will looks dapper in a suit. Will had never had Indian food before, so it was nice to show him something new. Indian is one of my favorite things to eat ever, because of that I have a hard time deciding what to order. I ended up with veggie choice appetizer, samosas, naan, mint chutney, and navarattan korma. Will had the tandoori chicken. I tried it and it is really good. I usually just stick to vegetarian dishes, but I might order that sometime.

After dinner there was rushing around to head out to glow bowling. Will, Lauren, Shawn, Michelle, and Shane made for some silly times. I just wish it could have lasted longer. I don't know how the time flew by so fast! We fit in 2 games and plenty of drinks. The music for the most part was awful, but that added to the fun in a way. Surprisingly it was really empty for a Friday night. I think I liked it better that way. Less battle for a lane and we were able to spread out. There were cupcakes that we never ended up eating, and balloons I would not let leave the trunk of the car. Shawn put together super cute Hello Kitty everything including goody bags for everyone. Goody bags should be mandatory for parties, I think. I lost the first game, but came in second in the second game. The key to bowling is alcohol. Or at least it seems to be for me. I bowled 2 strikes in a row! Even though I'm a terrible bowler, I love going to play.

Here are some pictures of the silliness:
