the birthday post

if you know me, you KNOW that i LOVE birthdays. love love love. which is interesting b/c i dont feel like i have done the best job on friend and family birthdays this year. but for some reason everyone still loved on me so much on oct. 19th. i am actually one who believes in the oh so wonderful "birthweek". many people have asked me when me when exactly the birthweek falls- the birthweek is the week leading to the actual birthday. some say it is the week surrounding the birthday (3 days before and 3 days after) but i disagree b/c who really wants to celebrate their birthday after it is over? when it's over, it's over and the countdown begins for the next year.

one of my birthday traditions is to to celebrate with one of me best friends, b/c she has a birthday on oct. 19th as well. this year, heather and blake came to charlotte for our annual celebration and we went on a double-date for pizza and starbucks. not one of us remembered a camera so i will post a pic from our birthday celebration last year. I couldn't think of a better way to start the birthweek- love this girl:)


My friend Ashley also had the wonderful idea to go to the Melting Pot for a little celebration. Matt and I were so excited about hanging with Chuck and Ash and the Melting Pot was fine too.... or so we thought. I think i forgot how AMAZING the Melting Pot actually was. The last time i was there for anything other than dessert was senior prom. Chuck and Ash, we will be going back on one of your b-days! love you guys:)



And then came my actual birthDAY. the tour of So You Think You Can Dance happened to be here that day and Matt bought us tickets months before. He knew that was exactly what i would want and he endured all those women just for me:) Unfortunately, i forgot the camera AGAIN but i do have a video on Matt's phone that i will try to post.

And finally, in celebration of my 27th i have started.... dun dun dun... to use anti-aging night cream. My wonderfully-wise nurse of a best friend told me that aging starts at 27. I told matt this is the best i am going to look so enjoy it;) haha. But i really am loving the cream!

By my next birthday i will be a MARRIED woman.... can't wait to see what that post looks like:)

One of my friends goes to the Melting Pot every single year for her b-day - I've never been but it's def on my list of places to eat when we're in the states next year! Happy b-day late btw...I know, if I were on facebook I SO would have been on top of it! :)

I'm pretty sure I was so lame that I didn't even facebook-wish you a happy birthday.

Can I blame the swine flu? I'm going to wear out that excuse sooner or later.

Love you! Glad you had a great week!
