Michelle's Birthday Outing




Michelle's birthday was last Thursday, so I took the day off work so we could go out on the town.


She choose Pizzeria Seven Twelve for lunch, which was a first for me.


She recommended the Braised Beef Panini, so that's what I got (minus the mushrooms) and it was divine!


We barely made it to our movie on time and enjoyed a huge popcorn and tankers of Coke and Diet Coke.

Michelle had seen the movie before but loved it and wanted to see it again, I loved it too.


I'm happy to report that Utah now has it's very own Paper Source store! Michelle had a gift card there so we just had to make an hour-long stop.


 We both left with some happy purchases.


Obviously we needed to replenish our bodies after such rigorous shopping. We only ordered cheesecake, but the waitress brought bread for us too...we love carbs.


After that we went to Barnes and Noble (a birthday tradition) and perused the self-help section...I just happen to be reading The Anatomy of Peace right now.


 It's sort of silly, but we always end up doing the gift opening in the car.


I gave Michelle the world's softest blanket (like the ones Jenn gave us for Christmas) and a gift certificate for a pedicure.


We both wore striped skirts.


Michelle's happy box of goodies at the end of the day.

This looks like it was such a fun day and a fun tradition to have. I've had that sandwich before and it is so good! The pizza is super good also. I've only been once, with my niece after she had her baby, so it's been a good year and a half.

The cheesecake looks divine.

Happy Birthday to Michelle!

Michelle told us at book club (I missed you by the way!) that you had taken the day off to spend it with her. That is awesome and I'm so happy to see a glowing birthday report! I love how much goodness you two packed into the day. (Wasn't touching the paper and staring at the stationary wall in Paper Source so wonderful! I LOVE having one in Utah!)
Other quick notes- Whitney's hair is beautiful. I am SO, SO sorry about your migraine. And I think it is crazy that someone had a heart attack on your watch!
Miss you friend.

I haven't seen Michelle in so long, even her picture took me off guard.

That's so nice you spent the day together. With your responsible way that is quite a gift to take the day off!

Happy Birthday Michelle!
