Birthday Weekend!

This past Friday was my 30th birthday. My birthday weekend was a busy and great weekend! I went to work on Friday and my grade level gave me a chocolate pecan cake from Rao's Bakery and a Starbucks gift card that I can't wait to use! The kids were really sweet and made cards for me too. After work mom took me to one of my favorite restaurants, Carrabba's, to eat. I always order the same thing, the chicken bryan, and it was so good! After we ate, we went home to open presents and eat more cake!

I have wanted a nice luggage set for a while now because I am a little OCD and it bothers me when I travel to carry mismatched luggage! I know I need help :) Mom and dad gave me a beautiful luggage set that I love! Glenn surprised me with a GPS for my car. I am really excited about it because I will admit I am directionally challenged a little and I should have bought one a while ago :) Thank you Glenn!

On Saturday, mom and I drove to Waco to pick up my sister, Stephanie, and go to Roxanne's wedding. Roxanne is the daughter of my mom's good friend, Linda. The wedding was in Salado which is about an hour from Waco. When we got there Stephanie and Ross surprised me with my favorite birthday cake..boston cream pie cake! It is a yellow cake with vanilla pudding between the layers and chocolate frosting. We ate just a little piece because we had to save room for wedding cake too :) There was no shortage of cake this weekend!

Birthday Cake!

The wedding was so beautiful and the reception looked like it was right out of a magazine! Her husband graduated from UT Austin and the groom's cake was a replica of the UT tower complete with lights and everything. I wish I had more pictures from the wedding but I brought this camera that I really don't like because it fit in my purse and now I remember why I quit using it. None of the other pictures turned out good, but I did get one of the tower cake.

It was a wonderful birthday weekend! I am excited about my 30's and everything God has planned for my future!

I can't end this post without saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my "birthday buddy," Pierson. He turned 1 year old on my birthday, March 5th. His mom, Britni, is one of my very best friends and Pierson is the answer to many prayers. Britni and her husband Wade went through infertility issues and finally decided to stop treatments to find out soon after that they were pregnant! God answered their prayers and then to top it off Pierson was born on my birthday!

Britni also turns 30 in April, so we decided to do a trip to celebrate our birthdays during spring break this year. Carrie, Heather, Britni, and I are going to Fredericksburg, TX for a girls/birthday weekend. After we leave Fredericksburg I am going back to Weatherford to stay with Britni for a few days and to see Pierson. The last time I saw him was when he was about 4 months old. I can't wait to get to see him and play with him! He's getting bigger and cuter by the second!
