Happy Birthday to Me! (Dec. 28)

My how time flies! How is it that I'm already 31??? I was reading People magazine a few weeks ago and almost fainted when I read that Michael J. Fox is 47!! It seems like just yesterday I was a teenager watching Family Ties, The Cosby Show, Saved by the Bell and Full House, oh and listening to New Kids. And to think that was OVER 15 years ago! Wow! Well, luckily I don't feel old (haha!) and am having the time of my life. I feel very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family and am so excited to become a mother. Thank you all! Love you! Here are some pictures from my birthday celebrations. I didn't get one of me and my King Crab Legs. Travis took me to Red Lobster on my actual birthday. They were delicious! I also had my other fave, Olive Garden, and a DQ cake. Oh yeah, and I finally got MY PURSE (thanks to my mom for her contributions) and my North Face Fleece (Thank you honey!)!!!!!!!

Chili's

Some of the Bunco girls met me at Chili's for dinner another night over break. I LOVE Chili's but it was a little crowded and I think our waiter said they were short a person or something so the service could have been LITTLE better (notice all the junk on our table that never got cleared--that's not my margarita glass!!). Oh well!! Maybe I'm being picky! Regardless, it was fun! The girls got me a gift certificate to Motherhood Maternity (and a cute Christmas bib and blanket for baby to use next year)!! I can't wait to use the gift certificate but think I will try to wait a little while until I am in DIRE need of maternity clothes. :)

Thanks Karen, Karen #2, Paula, Shayna, Val and Brooke!

Olive Garden

I had lunch at Olive Garden (best fettucini alfredo ever!) with my mom, niece Isabelle (Bridgett was home with Livy who was sick), cousin (in-law) Megan, Grandma, Aunt Sheri, Aunt Debbie and my cousin's girlfriend, Amy. Thanks girls for meeting me and for all the fun gifts!!!!!!

Then Anne, Mom, Belle and I did some shopping and went to see Marley and Me. I loved it almost as much as the book--a must read! and sobbed just as much as when I read it.
