To gather my friends together for my birthday, I invited them out to McMullan's Irish Pub on Saturday (March 15) night. Erich brought me some St Patty's Day wear, including rainbow headgear and shamrock shades. After a big glass of Smithwick's, I decided to try them on.

From left to right: Jen, Karsten (me!), Erich, Patrick and Ivan. I giggle every time I see this photo because the guys on the right are leaning towards me so much, and because Ivan's eyes are red in every single photo!

Marshall hugs Reimon during the birthday festivities at McMullan's. For some reason, there was a discussion about hair texture, comparing Reimon's to Marshall's, which resulted in everyone feeling Marshall's hair.

Jen and Erich and I at McMullan's. Look how smiley (two beers..) and tan (ten hours a day or working outdoors) I am!
