Happy St. Patricks Day Everybody!  Not only is it St Patrick's Day, but it is also Maino's birthday!  We celebrated with Shamrock Shakes and Heath Bar Cake- it has been tradition for almost 6 years now- isn't that crazy to think the three of us have been together that long???  Anyways, since this blog is my blog I am going to make it all about me.  I get excited for Maino's birthday because not only is it St Patricks Day, but that means my birthday is 4 days away- that is right the 21st.  Last year I had an amazing party with tons of good friends at Shenanigans, but I think I am going to keep things a little more mellow this year.  Since I am now a resident of Appleton I figure I need to start embracing it sooner or later- so my friends and I will be terrorizing the streets of College Avenue this Saturday night.  I don't go out in Appleton often, so if you have any suggestions of fun places to go- email me katie.marx@wixx.com.  My friends and I love to dance, but I am not into techno- keep that in mind :)  Here are some pics from my awesome party last year!  I know this year probably won't hold a candle to it, but I need to start mellowing out in my old age.  (the big 28 if you are wondering, and hey I am still WAYYY younger than Murphy and Maino).

My friend Drew and I- Yes I am the girl that loves wearing crowns during my birthday- I Am a Birthday Princess!

My family even came from Milwaukee to help me celebrate- my sisters Kim, Kerry and of course the Express

oh look who that is- Maino made an appearance- thanks for not coming Murphy (just kidding, he had a valid excuse his son was in the state basketball tournament)

I told you we like to dance!

Mike's family came from Oshkosh (his sister Sherry and brother in law Matt) and my brother in law Jason from Milwaukee

one of my bff's Ryan knows bloody marys are one of my favorite drinks, so he got all of the fixings I would need to make a perfect one and also a dog bed for the dog I do not own but hope to one day :)  And yes he and the Express are close :)
