This past Friday, Megan and I took our friend Siobhan out for her 30th birthday! Since she's preggo, we kept it pretty low key. ;)
We went to the new Postino in Gilbert for dinner. It was packed, along with that whole "strip" of restaurants which I love so much.
It was so bittersweet going back to my old hood. The drive was a little reminiscent as usual and I think I finally pinpointed my feelings -- the month we moved to Gilbert was the month we got engaged. Actually, Steve proposed in our new home which we'd been in for all of a month. Then we got married in Gilbert and really started our "adult" lives out with each other there. We had our first child in Gilbert and it really felt like a homey town to live in, which I loved. We had a lot of our major firsts in Gilbert. It was almost exactly 5 years when we moved back into Phoenix. We both love it here and will forever live here, but I have a really soft spot in my heart for those 5 years we lived there. :)
So anyway, we had a lovely dinner at Postino. The only pic I got was on my way back to my car of the sunset and water tower:
Under this water tower is a splash pad and it was the first one Peyton ever went to. See how reminiscent I am? If I still lived there, I wouldn't be saying these things!
After dinner we went to As You Wish paint on pottery. Megan brought stuff to make shirley temples. We sipped on those while we painted our masterpieces...
I made an airplane for Peyton with his name across it, Siobhan made a picture frame with 3 blue birds and 1 pink, and Megan made a dinner plate that they'll use on special occasions:
After we painted, we had more shirley temples and some chocolate cake!
It was a fun girls night out celebrating Siobhan's 30th!
