They Say It's Your Birthday...

Today I'm 29 years young...I had a great weekend surrounded by family and friends. Thank goodness for a 3 day weekend, I was able to go to bed early Thursday and sleep in Friday. I took advantage of my week day off and went to the Dr. to get rid of this sinus infection STAT.

The rest of Friday I spent time in bed recovering and my mom came down in the early afternoon. She sat on my bed with me and we just chatted away. Something about having your mom around always makes you feel better :)

Friday night Ruth planned a happy hour at The Keg that wound up lasting 3 1/2 hours! It was seriously the most fun I've had in a long time. We had great food, drinks and of course company :) Especially since my mom was able to join us! I need to get some pictures from her, this is all I have...
Saturday I continued to recover and spent some time with Mama. That afternoon we attended a wedding of a pilot friend of Dan's. It was a really nice venue and the best part was that the Big Bang Gang from the Big Bang piano bar was the entertainment! No luck on Julie (my absolute fave gal) but Mikey aka Napoleon was there with the bald guy and drummer who totally rocks out! We had so much fun dancing and singing along.

Today we had brunch and cake at my sis in law's house. Niece Gia helped me blow out the candle, just like Nicholas did last year!
Nicholas was not so much into the cake, but the colored frosting. He was in heaven until we took it away from him...
What baby doesn't love artificial coloring?

I went shopping with sisters and mother in law and got some great deals at Old Navy...I got 4 shirts for $1.97 each, a jacket for $5.47 and I splurged on a $13 sweater, whatareyougonnado? According to Sarah's rule that you need to wear an item one time for every dollar you spent on it, I'll only have to wear each one twice to get my money's worth!

This week should go by quickly, I've got a training after school tomorrow, Common Core ELA training Tuesday morning and Depth day (teacher collab) Wednesday. I'll be getting the house ready for company; Erin arrives Thursday and Kate, Chris and Rob will be here Friday. Then we'll all celebrate our college gal reunion and Meg's baby shower over the weekend.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to all of my wonderful family and friends who have made me feel so loved today!
