Ole!

My 22nd Birthday Was A Couple Of Fridays Ago (eeeks I'm getting old!!).

It Was A Very Fantastical Day Full Of Surprises, Which Ended With A Surprise Fiesta!

as you can tell from this picture, it was very exciting...

A HUGE Thanks To Mi Hermanas Y Mi Amiga Kelly For Throwing My Birthday Fiesta!

Te Amo!

Birthday Wishes!

Happy Birthday(s) to my lovely sisters!

They celebrated their 16th and 19th birthdays this month.

I can't believe Abby is old enough to drive and Emily is fast approaching legit adulthood....this makes me feel super old.

I am super blessed to have these two in my life.

Happy Birthday ladies!!

Happy Birthday little blog!

We (my sisters and I) were on our way home from a very frustrating trip to Wendy's when we realized out little bloglet is one-year-old. Sniff... I'm so very proud.

I'm not really sure what I hoped to accomplish with this blog or where I thought it would be in a year.
But here we are, and I must say I enjoy sharing my thoughts via the blog (and I thank you for listening to them).

So here's to another year (raise my glass of sparkling cider)!

This past week our friends the Carroll's took us to Hilton Head Island for mine and Abby's birthdays! We had a wonderful time swimming in the frigid ocean, enjoying the hot tub, watching movies, shopping, boogie boarding, star gazing, dolphin watching, picture taking, and being with our lovely friends Aubrey and Rebekah and of course Aunt Kathy and Uncle Todd. Here are some pictures taken with my birthday present!

international birthday

our family has never been one for huge birthday bashes, but we always go out for a nice family dinner.

and since last friday was abby's birthday we all went out to the restaurant of her choice, she chose to go to ru sans, which boasts some pretty delicious sushi (see below). i always forget how much i like sushi until i eat it again, it's like rediscovering a favorite food all over again! so needless to say, i really enjoyed it.

my favorite

the birthday girl

and for dessert we made our way over to amelie's french bakery where we tried the cream puffs, chocolate mousse cups and a salty caramel brownie (not pictured) which was, by far, my favorite.

as you can see we stuffed ourselves silly

all-in-all it was a really nice night out with the family. emily's birthday is next week so stay tuned for more birthday escapades!
