I'm going to split the account of my birthday this year into two posts, one for what we did and the other for the presents. Being my move-in weekend as well, it's a bit difficult to distinguish my birthday activities from my move-in hullabaloo, but I guess my birthday stuff didn't officially start until Saturday (the day before), when Candace and I met up in the city for her to take me out to dinner at a unique steak restaurant called the Highland Tap, which was kinda a cross between a hunting lodge restaurant, steak house, and dive bar (which you first see upon entering). Afterwards, Candace really wanted to take me out drinking or to a comedy show, but since I had moved Evan in that morning, I was pretty exhausted, so we ended up just renting The Golden Compass and chilling.
The first half of my actual birthday was spent with my family, first at the Cheesecake Factory with my sister and her husband, and then at our home (my old place, if you will...) for gifts. After this, I went to my apartment to tear into my new Xbox 360, and after some gaming, Evan fixed Candace and me a delicious birthday dinner, complete with drinks for the evening. Evan was determined to get me plastered (especially since we watched The Big Lebowski for my first time), but I think he ended up getting the worst of it...
Overall, the birthday was a unique but fun one: for the first time in a while I had my girlfriend, roommate, AND family celebrating with me in person. Add to this my general disorientation and fatigue due to living in/moving into my new apartment, and you've got a fairly memorable birthday weekend.
