- "Sleeping in" until one of my friends woke me up with a birthday call (I know everyone else was really excited about the big day too, so I forgave her!)
- Going to lunch with my mom and sister at Pei Wei (pronounced pay-way) and eating one of my favorite foods...shrimp pad thai (pronounced shrimp pad tie). I also ate a great fortune cookie (pronounced coo-key) that said a grand adventure was on my horizon (I'm paraphrasing a bit here because I can't remember exactly what it said but it was really good and I just knew that good things were in store for me this year!)
- Leaving work early to go shopping at the mall (I haven't been shopping for a while so I'm not going to lie, it felt really good.)
- Having the Cheesecake Factory open in my honor (It was the grand opening and there was a 5 hour wait to eat there so we opted out. 5 hours, seriously??? Yes, seriously.)
- Receiving calls and emails from all of my friends and family to remind me how awesome I am and that their life could never be complete without me being in it (once again, I'm paraphrasing, but I think that was the gist of what most people were feeling.)
And those were just the highlights! One of my friends told me that the year she was 28 was one of her best, so I'm really excited to see how the next 362 days play out! As you can see from my most recent survey, I have a lot of different ideas on some goals that I can set this year. I am taking the last section of the CPA exam in two weeks and if by chance I pass it then I'm going to need some something new to work towards, as this test has been looming over my head for far too long! If anyone has a suggestion that is not posted on my survey then you can comment here, but I probably won't consider it unless it's really good. I've been thinking about the 5 options for a long time and it would take some pretty powerful persuasion to sway me to pursue something else. However, please do not let my lack of interest affect your creativity. Thanks to all of you who have helped me become who I am today!

Hey there Tandis Builla! Happy Happy Birthday!!!! Your so cute! love your blog. Melanie is trying to set one up for me. I'll be seein ya!
Hysterical. Of course I'm voting for great and expensive gifts for parents (I may be paraphrasing a bit). The whole Ecuador thing doesn't thrill me. When Cade was there he was protected by angels. Can you guarantee the same?
HA! You are so funny!! I love the "(pronounced Coo-Key)" you CRACK ME UP!!! I also voted for the expensive gifts for cousins...(I too may be paraphrasing a bit) Do you need my mailing address??? :)
Love ya Kandis!
Feliz Cumpleaños a la bella mas bella. I loveeeeed finding this site (thanks Melanie) and I love you!!
Happy late birthday Kandis! I feel like a slug because I didn't even know it was your birthday. Hope you will forgive me. You'll have to fill me in on the joys of being 28. I'll be there soon too. Oh and I've been meaning to tell you...if you want to create a slide show just click on mine and it will take you to the website and walk you through the whole thing. Let me know if you get stuck.
Kandis: I found a link to your blog on Sharla's blog...so fun for me to get to know you through your writing "voice"...you are one funny girl! Happy belated birthday. I didn't know we shared the same birthday week. Too bad your mom didn't hold off on your delivery until the 8th--then you could have shared Grandpa Pearson's and my birthday.
