Birthday Celebration(s)

What? I’m blogging on a Saturday? Get outta here!

I wanted to stop by and share my birthday celebrations with you guys before Monday, since Monday begins a week of spotlighting a few Dumbo Double Dare runners (look for that next week)!

Friday night, my family took me to O’Charley’s for a birthday dinner.

On our way there, I happened to spot a cloud that looked like Dumbo. Am I the only one seeing this? Enlighten me at least.

Love my family!

As the waitress set our plates on the table, mine happened to slide off the tray and…whoops!

Ah well, accidents happen!

After dinner, we had a little yummy froyo followed by gifts!

My husband/parents surprised me with BOTH the Vera Bradley Weekender AND the Laptop Booksack in Tutti Fruitti (I asked for one or the other)! Yay!

This morning, my friends surprised me with a post-run birthday celebration!  (Remember that odd muscle pain I told you about yesterday? It’s gone! Yay!)

After our mini-celebration, we had breakfast at Panera Bread which just opened TODAY! It was delicious!

I have the best friends a girl could ask for! :0)

How’s your  weekend going? I hope it’s been a fabulous one so far!

Now I’m off to pack! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    Aw, you're so cute! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Looks like you've had a fabulous day/days! Loved the video, too! And how awesome that you got those two Vera bags! I {perhaps crazily} signed up to be a Thirty-One consultant, and I just love bags in general, so I can understand your excitement! And could I get anymore exclamation points in here?? Sure - Have a GREAT rest of your weekend!!!!! :)

      Yes I am using them for travel! I'm taking the lap top booksack as a carryon and the weekender as an overnight bag before our flight! :0)
