After John got home from work on Friday, we walked into town to go to Jalapeno's, a tex-mex restaurant in Galway. I've gone to tex-mex restaurants on my birthday for many years now, so I wanted a little taste of home. The restaurant was alright, I think Americans are a little spoiled when it comes to tex-mex food, as we have both Texans and Mexicans who can make it properly. It was nice to go on a date with John anyways though, even though the poor kid had really spicy food and spent the rest of the evening in the toilet.
We stopped at a bookstore on the way home, and John bought me a book by the woman who wrote "The Time Traveler's Wife", which I have been slowly chipping away at for the last few days. Its a great book called "Her Fearful Symmetry", I'll let you know how it is when I finish it! I also got an ice cream on the way home, so that was nice too :)
On Saturday we woke up late and lazed around the apartment. Then we went into town, being lazy and driving. This actually turned out for the best, as it started pissing rain on our way home. I shopped around Penney's for a birthday dress while John got his hair shorn. There's really no other way to put it, he had sheeps hair.
After shopping we stopped into John's friends house, who had just gotten back from Australia that afternoon. The poor kid was interrogated by John for the next twenty minutes, when all he really wanted to do was sleep.
John's good friend Joe stopped by after he had just climbed Croagh Patrick in an adventure race, which included a bicycle ride. I made lasagne for them (which proved to not be the best dinner for what happened later in the night), while also preparing for what would turn out to be an epic night!

Around 930 our friends started showing up at the house, where we were just chatting and enjoying the evening, as well as consuming some beverages. We ventured into town to meet up with some other people and go to some clubs and pubs. The girls split up from the boys(minus one who was not in any state to go out and was sent home :( ) and went to club while the boys went to the pub. We met up with a stag party inside (aka bachelor party) and I tried to get them to buy us drinks, but they wouldn't :( Luckily I have great friends and we still had a fantastic time!

To make a long story short, I had A LOT of fun. Too much fun, if you catch my drift, and I certainly paid for my fun that night AND the next morning. But it was totally worth it, and I'm looking forward to many more nights :) With maybe a little less "fun" though ;P
