For my happiest birthday on earth, Gary took me to the happiest place on earth. We went to Disneyland on the Thursday and Friday before the big Labor Day rush. It was perfect. They hadn't shut down any rides for maintenance yet, and the crowds were minimal. Nice warm weather, too. And get this: the nine-dollar corn dogs I had been hyping up to Gary were only five dollars (and every bit as delicious).
When we got back to Portland, Gary took me to Krispy Kreme. We chose our favorite doughnuts and then went to Cold Stone. We asked them nicely to mix the doughnuts into ice cream and viola! Instant happiness.

We splurged this Halloween season and bought one of those pumpkin carving kits. I waxed creative and made my own pattern based on my owl shirt. I was pretty pleased with the results.

For Thanksgiving, we made our first traditional turkey dinner (accompanied by several calls home, of course).
