Even though our birthdays were two weeks ago, Brad and I just wrapped up the celebration this past weekend. I have always been really good at that somehow...stretching my birthday out, that is. Now that I have to share my day with the hubby, he just follows suit.
We kicked off the two week long party with dinner with friends at Boundry. It was delicious!!! A little out of our everyday price range, but hey, it was our birthday! We had big juicy steaks, potatoes and we even tried caviar as a part of an appetizer...it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Overall, great food and pretty cool atmosphere.
As my birthday celebration continued, the ladies at work showered me with adorable gifts!! Sweet Stella decorated my hygiene room with flowers and gave me these pretty serving trays and necklace pendant.
Sweet Carol gave me the cutest set of stationary. It includes a journal, stickers, and different sizes of note cards...just adorable!!!
And finally, my secret pal at work gave me this cute slate to put up at our new house!!!
So, I know what you are thinking by now...and it's ok because I'm thinking it too...I am REALLY spoiled!!! But I am also really grateful for the sweet gifts, thoughts and birthday wishes!!
Brad and I both received many gift cards from his family and mine. We are sooooo excited and can't wait to use them on things for the house!!! Bailey also gave us gift cards for a date night...dinner at Olive Garden and dessert at Cold Stone = DELICIOUS!!! Brad got a Cardinals hat and koozie from Adam, tools from Brandi and a Titans rug from mom and Sam. Adam gave me a purse...I love it!!!! Brandi took me to get a pedicure. It was awesome!!! And mom and Sam gave me the Sookie Stackhouse series. I've already started the first book. We topped it off with a yummy ice cream cake. Unfortunately, I left my camera in Nashville this weekend, so I don't have any pictures, but we had a great time!!
And how could I forget my amazing present from Brad??? Tickets to the CMT awards at Bridgestone arena June 9th. YAY!!!! Still don't really know what to wear yet, but I guess I will have to figure it out soon. It's only one week away!!!
We both had a super birthday with wonderful friends and family. However, our younger siblings didn't hesitate to remind us that, as 26 year olds, we are now closer to 30 than we are to 20. Ugh!! :) Gotta love 'em though. You are only as old as you feel, right??!! We have a busy and exciting year ahead and we are ready to get it started!!
Now, wait a second! You are missing a very important blog post- YOU GOT A HOUSE?!?! Congratulations!! You have to post pictures!! And you know what goes great with a new house? Having a house party... ha ha. Happy Birthday(s)!!
ReplyDeleteI know, I know....I'm just so paranoid. We went through this last year, too. Last April, we "sold" our townhouse, we thought we did anyway. Then, we found a house, signed a contract, and we were waiting on closing day. Three weeks before the closing date, our buyer backed out, we lost the house, etc. We close on both our townhouse and our new house on June 25th. So, I'm trying to wait until then to post about the new house. It's hard!!!! But I'm so paranoid about something happening again. It's gone really well so far, so I think it will be fine, but ya know, I'm just making sure. I definitely can't wait to post pictures though!!! And the house party sounds like a GREAT idea!! :)
