Quarter Century Mark
I turned 25 on Friday (the 13th!). It had been awhile since I'd fired up the grill, so rather than going out to eat I grilled 2 New York Strip steaks for Chrissy and I. We also had one of my favorite summer foods, corn on the cob, and fresh sourdough bread. Yummy! For dessert, Chrissy made me brownies with vanilla frosting and we also had ice cream sandwiches.
As for presents, my parents and grandparents sent me some packages so I fired up iChat so that they could watch me unwrap them. This is the first time I haven't been home around my birthday to celebrate, so it was cool to still be able to celebrate that way instead. From the homefront, I got Scrubs Season 5, Write Great Code Volume 1, Sony Alarm Clock, an iron, Planet Puzzle League for the Nintendo DS, and kitchen tongs (requested for corn on the cob). From Chrissy I got (wrapped in Transformers wrapping paper no-less) corn trays, kitchen tongs (yes, I amusingly received two sets of kitchen tongs), new socks (they're ankle socks so she doesn't have to be embarrassed when I roll down my longer socks when we play tennis or go to the gym) and two Lego sets! I was really excited about the Lego sets...in fact I already built a racecar and then rebuilt it into a Delorean:
