Another Birthday!

Another birthday in the books! My birthday morning started of with Mike going to daylight donuts and bringing back my favs- chocolate long johns and sausage and cheese biscuits. YUMMY!

Then I opened my gift from him. He got me some perfume that I've wanted for awhile now.

I work in retail, so unfortunately I have always had to work on my birthday since it's two days before Christmas. The girls at the store are so sweet and brought in balloons and petit fours. Another YUMMY!

After work, I headed home for a nap and a bubble bath and then got ready to meet some friends out for dinner and a movie. We had such a great time visiting that we ended up missing the start time of our movie. The best surprise of the night- my friend David surprised me and came to the restaurant! He lives in NYC and I haven't seen him in over a year.
I always have a great time with this group and I was so glad everyone came!

I had a fantastic birthday and can't wait to see what this year has in store for me!

Christmas Lights!

Last weekend we went to the square to see the Christmas light display. Every year they do an amazing job and this year did not disappoint. I think we picked the coldest night in December so far. It was so miserably cold that we walked one time around the square and then practically ran to the warm car.

Lately

MIA- again!

I have been in a blogging rut this whole year with the exception of a few post.

I hate that I didn't do very well.

It is so nice to be able to look back at our day and day lives and remember great memories.

I'm going to try again to stay on top of blogging.

Why even have a blog if you don't blog!?

Ha!

Sick Days

I woke up Tuesday morning and knew that I just didn't feel right. I decided to go ahead and go to school and even went to work that afternoon. By Tuesday night, I had a sore throat and a lot of pressure behind my ears, under my eyes, and my forehead. I knew there was nothing I could do until the morning so I took some NyQuil and hoped for a good nights sleep.

After tossing and turning and not sleeping for most of the night I decided to head to my doctor's office early Wednesday morning. He said that I have strep throat and a sinus infection. Blah! He gave me a prescription for Amoxcillin and told me to take Aleve for the headaches caused from the the sinus pressure.

He also told me that I needed not to go to work or have a lot of contact with anyone because I could be contagious. Which has been so hard cause all I want are snuggles and kisses from Mike and he can't even come near me.

So I've spent the last two days in bed.

Eating chicken broth

and jello.

Spending A LOT of time on the my laptop

and watching WAY too much TV!
I'm hoping that I can make it out of the house tomorrow and go to work for a little bit! Fingers crossed, cause I'm already going stir crazy!

Abbe's Camping Birthday Weekend!

This past weekend we celebrated Abbe's birthday! She decided she wanted to do a campingtrip out at Beaver Lake. We all had an awesome time!

Mike and I got out there Saturday morning. We got our tent set up first then enjoyed time sitting around camp before heading into Eureka Springs to the Rowdy Beaver to watch the HOGS play. The game was a little disappointing but that didn't stop us from celebrating Abbe's b-day.

When we got back to the campground we had A-MAZING smoked ribs, potatoes, beans, S'mores, and peach cobbler! We played Apples to Apples, hung out around the campfire, and then called it a night. Sunday morning we had coffee and then started a HUGE yummy breakfast. The food is favorite part of camping! :) Mike and I headed back home around noon so that we could watch football and sneak in a nap before getting ready for the work week.

I think Abbe had a fantastic birthday weekend and we were so glad to be there to help her celebrate!

Happy Birthday Abbe!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEST FRIEND,

ABBE!

I am so lucky to have the most amazing best friend in the whole world!

Abbe has ALWAYS been there for me- no matter what, no questions asked!

A night out with this girl is never dull!

She loves baseball just as much as me!

She is so caring, so generous, and so BEAUTIFUL inside and out!

I love her with all my heart!
