Birthday Surprise

A week ago today, I celebrated my 24th birthday. And maybe to some that seems really young, but I feel really really old. My life is the life of most 30 to 35 year olds. Two young kids can really take a lot out of ya. Well with the depression of feeling really old, my very sweet hubby started my birthday a week early. One morning he woke me up to a beautiful crape breakfast in bed (with homemade nutella and bananas), which were so yummy, with continuous breakfasts on different days, then he took me out to PF Changs which I had never been to before and always wanted to. FYI: if you've never been, you won't be disappointed. Then the day of my birthday he and the kids baked me an incredible homemade berry pie....I think he finally has figured out the key to my heart :) That night we celebrated with a few friends at the last Cardinals game of the season.








Just when I thought that the night couldn't get better, JJ told me there was one more surprise. As we were driving he told me to close my eyes (this was extremely hard by the way). We show up at the airport, and who other than my very best friend pops out to surprise me and stay a few days! I was crying and in shock the whole way home, I had NO IDEA!!!

I thought my birthday was over, but then my friend Cambria brought me a homemade boston cream pie, which was so yummy, and my friend Megg threw a surprise party for me. I got coupons for free dinners, maid service, and babysitting....who can ask for more?
This birthday was truly a memorable one. It made getting older a little better.


Auntie with the kids. I love how much she loves them. We all miss her so much!
