Andrew Jade Photography: My Birthday!

Many of you know that I recently had my birthday, the big 28... well, maybe I shouldn't say 'the big 28', it's not like it's a landmark year or anything. So I'll just say it was 'the 28'. If you know me well, you know that I am not all that into my birthday. Maybe I have a subconscious block that says 'I'm not worth a big party :('... I seriously doubt it; rather, I just don't know what to say when people ask 'SO what do you want for your birthday?!' My response is usually 'Ummm...' and that's about it :) I never think about all the things that I want... And when I come across something that strikes me as a good gift for me to get for my birthday and that I should tell someone the next time they ask, do I remember what this particular thing is when the time comes? Of course not :-)

This year however I came prepared... I knew what I wanted, or more importantly what I wanted to do. There is this great little pizza place in downtown Phoenix called Pizzeria Bianco that I have been wanting to go to for years. This is not your ordinary pizza place where you go to get a quick bite to eat when you're in a rush... This is a place that has a line out the door and can take 4 hours to get into because of the wait!

My Aunt Scheila offered to wait in line from 2 until 5 so we could get the first seats... I would usually decline but... it's Pizzeria Bianco and my birthday so I told her 'good idea!' :) I owe her big time!

Long story short, the food was well worth it... I can't say it's the best pizza in the world, but pretty close. The experience was great; spending time with family, laughing, and enjoying great food while we were at it. If you ever get the chance to go, my personal favorite was called the Rosa Pizza... I think the clouds parted and God's face shown when I ate it... a little piece of Heaven!
