26 years and counting...

I had the privilege of celebrating my birthday this week!  It was filled with some of my favorite things:

~Hot shower
~Make up
~Scrambled eggs/egg whites with sausage and a little cheese
~Jelly Beans
~Moist yellow box cake with milk chocolate icing
~Orzo
~Long Nap
~GK {duh!}
~My honey {doi!}
~Phone calls from friends and loved ones

Whew!  Awesome day-- despite having a Dr.'s appt. in the morning.  James had Wed and Thurs off, though F/S/Sun he is on call working 7pm-7am.  James made me feel special all day!  Starting the night before, he helped me get a little more sleep than normal by getting up to feed Georgia for her 3am night feed.  This was the first time he's fed her at night--ever-- partly because she wouldn't take a bottle for a while and partly because I'm an awesome wifey like that:)  I still woke up and checked on how it was going when he was feeding her (old habits die hard), but it was still really nice of him and is a relief to know in the future if I'm sick or something that he could help out in that way.  Then, he made me breakfast and coffee (did you know we are now coffee drinkers?!  Keurig has changed our lives!:))


He said I could go anywhere for lunch and after driving around a bit, I decided Whole Foods would be perfect!  It may sound like an odd choice, but my great PwC work buddy-- Kelly C. -- introduced me to the wonderful salad bar and cafe area.  I was craving something light (still working on dropping the last few prego pounds) and thought it would be a fun 'outing' and we wouldn't have to worry about dirty looks from fellow patrons carrying our sweet Georgia into a nice restaurant!


We had a great time walking around, eating free samples, and looking at all the beautiful food we can't afford.  Then, we grabbed some grub and a booth and had a lovely, relaxed lunch with GK in tow.  

Can't beat a good salad!  Loved the orzo, too.  CA roll and some Izze-- best.lunch.ever.

Nice view out the window:)

Sweet hubs in his beautiful polo!  It's my fav:)

The rest of the day was spent napping, playing with GK, and blowing out my candles.  A wonderful, relaxing day feeling loved-- who could ask for more?!

OH and my bday present from James is 2 tickets (4th row) to see The Civil Wars live at the Alabama Theater.  To say I am excited would be an UNDERSTATEMENT!!!  I haven't been this excited about something in a while!  There is a bit of delayed gratification involved-- the concert is in October, but I can't wait!!!   Now, we just need to find a babysitter...
