Best Birthday Ever! (So Far)

So...in case you are not away birthdays last a week before and a week after the actual date you are born...at least my birthdays do. And although I haven't actual turned a year older just yet (tomorrow is my actual date of birth) I have been celebrating it all week! It has been soooo fun!

It started out last week when Mackenzie and Mallery took me to Bari's for lunch...man we love Bari's! We got some hamburger pizza and ranch and salads and free cheesecake cause it was my birthday! We used to have Friday lunches every week when only like 5 people used to be on staff and we would often order in Bari's....so it's like a tradition!

Since Eric has two Rhythm shows this weekend...we decided to celebrate my birthday last weekend as well! He gave me an "all about me day" where I could pick what I wanted to do and what I wanted him to buy me...it was like the best day ever!! He got paid for some Rhythm shows and normally we use every ounce of money we get to pay bills...but he said "this check is for your birthday and we can use for presents or going out to eat or going anywhere you want" so I chose Target....of course! He got me some new earrings, a new shirt, a new jacket, The Office Season 3 (complete with my very own Dundie Award) and a new bag! Then he also bought me a CD I really wanted on Itunes (because they don't sell it in stores) and then took me out to eat at Olive Garden! Our friends Josh and Angela Walker went with us...along with our new friends, Chris and Carlos. And then we went over The Walkers house afterwards to hang out.

Sunday we went to Josh and Natalie Drew's wedding! It wasn't for my birthday, but it was still fun and very beautiful!

Monday we met up with Dustin and Candie Sandlin and The Walkers again and went to Southlake Town Center to hang out. We ate at Snuffers...which is so good...and then just walked around the stores and got ice cream!

Tuesday we watched The Office all night.

Wednesday we went to Group Connect Training and the Robbie Seay Concert.

Thrusday I had a girls night out! Natalie Patterson thought it would be fun to take a group of girls to my favorite restaraunt...Buck N Loons. So we all met at my apartment and loaded up to drive to Arlington! It was a fun night with my friends Amber, Sarah, Maggie, Nat, Mackenzie, Lauren, Rebekah, Deedra, and Andrea L! We ate lots of food and of course they gave me free ice cream for my birthday :) It was so fun to hang out and talk with some of my greatest friends in the world all at the same time!

Tonight and tomorrow night Eric has Rhythm shows...so we will be going to those. Tonight they are playing at Maxamedia Studios in Las Colinas and tomorrow they are playing at Andy's in Denton...so if anyone wants to come and hang out on my birthday you should!!

Next week will be fun too I'm sure. I know we are having lunch with the new members in Denton on Sunday to celebrate their covenant signing. I also know that next Saturday 2 of my favorite people will be in town because By the Tree is coming!!! So I'll get to see sweet little Benny and Aaron and I'm so pumped about that!

Let's just say...this is the best birthday ever!
