PICTURES RECOVERED! WATCH OUT NYC! BIRTHDAY GIRLS ARE READY TO PAAAARTY!

OKAY, so these pictures are from December, when both Miriam and I turned 29. We spent 4 fabulous days in New York City to kick off our last year in the twenty bracket. Miriam had a lady on her flight from Oregon warn her not to go too crazy painting up the town with her girlfriend, "Sounds like a lot of trouble to me!" she exclaimed. If this kind soul only knew, just how much havoc two pregnant women obsessed with Italian food, sleeping-in, and waiting in line TO GET THOSE DISCOUNTED LES MISERABLES TICKETS really can reek on a city. You can only imagine, right?

Happy Birthday to us! And a BIG THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN TO JARED FOR BEING SUCH A GOOD HOST! Especially when you woke us up at midnight with your stuffed orangutan, thanks for THAT highlight!

PS-PLEASE DON’T READ TOO MUCH INTO THE PICTURE OF ELLEN GAZING LONGINGLY AT THE SIDE OF MIRIAMS HEAD. SUBJECT MATTER THAT STIRS UP CONTROVERSY IS ALWAYS THE MOST INTERESTING, TO BE SURE!
