Last Thursday, April 22nd, I turned 27. I'm still a little amazed. 27. It sounds old, but I know that it isn't (even though I'll continue to call my husband - who's also 27, old). Hubby woke me up with a dozen roses and told me to order the macbook laptop that we'd been talking about for a while. I was super excited, to say the least! Then we watched Avatar on DVD. The day was off to a wonderful start.
Roses and a red velvet cake for the birthday girl!!
A few hours later, my stethoscope arrive via post. I've already posted a picture. The arrival of my stethoscope somehow made PA school much more real. The countdown is at 38 days and counting!
The rest of my day was pretty relaxing. In the evening, my friend (and former boss) Amie Jo and I went out for some yum. My favorite local coffee shop was having a business after hours, so we decided to hit up Common Grounds and see what was going on. They were showing off a new meeting room that they had just opened and it looked GREAT! They were also serving yummy morsels, so we hung out for a bit and chatted with the owner - who's a runner and a very cool lady. :) After this we went to Charleston for a wine tasting event that was put on by my mommy-in-law's (Jill's) place of business. There was a lot of good wine to taste and the snacks were.... just, wow. The event was catered by a local business called 2 Flowers Catering. They ALWAYS make delicious stuff. This time they had a few things I'd never tasted before - artichoke & feta dip (it was incredible) served with various types of breads, and strips of sundried eggplant wrapped around a chunk of fresh mozarella. Everything else paled in comparison to these two. All of this added up to a fantastic day! :)
Due to hubby's work schedule, we went to dinner to celebrate my birthday on Sunday evening. We had a delicious dinner (and an even better dessert) at the Firefly Grill down in Effingham.
Here are some pics!

P.S. Jill and I saw "The Back-Up Plan" on Sunday. Very cute. Jennifer Lopez was made for the romantic comedy genre :)
AWWWW! That seems like an awesome, fun, ADULT birthday. :) I need to try something like that for my 27th in October. But I should probably find an awesome man to wake me up with flowers, cake, and a macbook first. haha
ReplyDeleteLOL to Tiffany's comment.
ReplyDeleteSo you got your red velvet cake! Yay!
I've heard The Back-Up Plan is cute from several people. & I agree that Jennifer Lopez is always way cute in her movies. The Wedding Planner is awesome. She should stick to that instead of music!
:) I totally agree, Raquel. It's time for J-Lo to give up music and stick to making romantic comedies. Or she should become a personal trainer - her body is insane! And she's had twins!
ReplyDeleteI love the birthday pictures :) your drinks look delish. I actually have a date with Zuri to see the backup plan tomorrow night... can't wait :)
