Happy Birthday Babe!

Just as excited as I am about my birthday, I'm also excited about others birthday's.

Bryan's birthday is March 27th.  Way to join the birthday fun at the Lipira's (we have 4 in 2 weeks, now make that 5).

Since i hurt my knee, Bryan had to make a stop to play doctor in the morning.

That evening Connor had soccer and Cub Scouts.  Following, we ate dinner at the Mexican restaurant. I decorated Bryan's before soccer.  We showered him with gifts and cake before calling it a night.

Friday, March 28th

I understood in one of our dates talking about favorite restaurants that Two Urban Licks was Bryan's favorite restaurant.  Well, I was wrong!  It was still a great atmosphere and we ended up having so much fun at "fancy" dinner.  Getting all dressed up was so much fun. Bryan makes me feel like the most beautiful person!  What a great dinner.

Keep the Celebration Rolling

One day is never enough for your birthday so let's keep the celebration rolling.

Bryan and I had tennis Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday but I still found time for Bryan and Pallavi.

I'm so blessed with great friends!

Monday:

Walking into work, my employees decorated my door followed by a fruit arrangement.  Yummy!  After tennis, we stopped at a Mexican restaurant for birthday dinner.

Tuesday, March 24th:

Surprised with chocolate covered fruit from my friend Stephanie Armistead!  How lucky was I.

Pallavi and I celebrated by going to dinner.  So much fun catching up with her.  She blew me away with a Kate Spade purse.

Wednesday, March 25--- no picture?  WHAT????  I had a tennis match and it started raining.  I did twist my knee this night, so I'm praying nothing is wrong.

It's My Birthday, My Birthday!

Sunday, March 22nd

Happy 33rd birthday to me.  CRAZY!!! We still joke about my dad's 33rd birthday since Jesus died when he was 33.  I had to be reminded why Jesus died, but it's hard for a kid to remember EVERYTHING!

Birthday started off with breakfast with Lauren and friends.  Jordan had me over for cards while we waited on my parents to come to KC.  Presents with family, followed by Abuelo's.  Had to catch a plane back to Atlanta where Bryan and Connor were waiting.  They had balloons, flowers, signs, and a fancy hat.  I was so spoiled.  I arrived home to a decorated apartment, including cobbler and presents.  What a wonderful celebration.

It's All About Lauren

It's Lauren's bachelorette party weekend, so I flew into Kansas City.

Friday, March 20th

My parents picked me up late on Thursday night.  Brad and I meet up for lunch at Chick-fil-A.  It's my birthday weekend also, so I had a pre celebration on Friday night.

 54th Street

Saturday, March 21st

Lauren's shower is finally here and all the details fell right into place.  We had a great afternoon celebrating her, followed by a bachelorette party.  Started at Bar Louie and went to Power and Light, Sky Bar.  She's going to be such a gorgeous bride!

California Trip

March 16, 2015

Back to California to work!  Where's always my first stop?  Gracias Madre.  I might of been the first person in the restaurant, right when it opened at 11 AM.  Nice and sunny CA!

Tuesday, March 17th:  Happy St. Patricks day.  We always grew up with green donuts.  On Monday we called the donut shop to see if they were going to serve green donuts.  No, but they never thought of it.  Guess what they started!  I might of just started a business trend for Donut Wheel.

Nothing better than talking to Bryan.  We tried Skype this week since it was going to be a full 7 days away.

Wednesday, March 18th:  One of my mentors with the university moved out to San Francisco.  It was so great meeting up with Tamara Murk.  She has always been someone I have looked up too and today that is still true.

Thursday, March 19th:  Happy Birthday from the teams in CA.  Wow!  I'm so surprised because I didn't even tell my employees my birthday, but they still found out.  Another great trip, ending in chocolate cake!

Counting My Blessings

Monday, March 9th

This past week, Bryan and I have been able to hang out several different days.  This is a huge week, since before we saw each other once per week!

I'm counting every blessing and being completely grateful!

We might of done Mexican night and no we didn't sit on the same side of the booth!  Just for a picture folks!

Also, we have spirit week going on at work!  Cowboy day!

Tuesday, March 10th

Cassie came to visit and was able to meet Bryan.  I had tennis practice, hence the not so great appearance.

Wednesday, March 11th

Jenny Herner in St. Louis is the sweetest.  She remembered my birthday weeks in advance and bought this special present.  So thankful for her!

Thursday, March 12th

Another spirit day photo, Dress Like a Famous Person.  Everyone on my team wanted me to dress as Farrah Fawcett.  So, this was my choice!

Chloe and I went and ran 3 miles after work, finishing up with dinner at Hudson Grille.  Chloe and Brooklyn!

Friday, March 13th

Chloe came over so we could take Bryan on a shopping spree.  I might of gotten my hair styled that night by her also.  We were spoiled

Saturday, March 14th

A rainy Saturday morning pushed back tennis matches, so Bryan had time for a haircut!  This was his first time in a REAL salon!  We finished with 2 back to back tennis matches.  We aren't that young anymore, but still pulled out two pretty easy wins.  We wrapped up the night with dinner at 37 Main.

Sunday, March 15

The sun is shining and it's a great day to be at PCC followed by two more tennis matches (one for Bryan and one for me!).  Two more wins!  After tennis, we met Pallavi at Tin Lizzy's.

House at PCC

March--Coming In Like a Lion

Tuesday, March 3rd

Happy Official One Month Anniversary!  It has been one of the most amazing months!  I'm so thankful for Bryan!  Bryan, thank you for letting me dream and believe again!  Pallavi returned from India and made a visit, twice!  I love how Bryan just lets us giggle and catch up whenever needed!

Wednesday, March 4th

RSVP to Lauren's wedding.  It's getting so close!  I can't wait!  Plus, first picture went on Facebook so here's Lauren's texts with her Mom!

Thursday, March 5th

I had a visit at my Columbus, GA campus and introduced them to Apple Nachos!  Loved it Rach!

Friday, March 6th

Bingo night at Connor's school as a fundraiser.  We didn't have the lucky cards, but we were good Bingo players!

Saturday, March 7th

FaceTime with Brady was the best way to start the morning.  He had so much to share and had to keep going back and forth with FaceTime and photos!  I miss Ty and Brady so much and still can't wait for the ATL BIG visit!

Sunday, March 8th

After church we stopped to eat brunch before soccer.  It's been in the 70s the past few days!  No better way to spend the afternoon, but outside!  One serious, one silly!
