Birthdays Bashes!!

Dustin has been 31 for a month (as of yesterday!). Time flies when you are having fun, I guess. So re-cap of the birthday crazy in February is only appropriate (a month later). 

We celebrated Dustin's birthday (2/3) the weekend before with a little gun range action and some Outback. The best thing about this was he had NO idea what I got him for his present. He was shocked (literally stood there silent when he opened his present). My parents, who were watching Emma for the night, and I thought he didn't like because he was so quiet. But come to find out he was thrilled and didn't know what to say. Nice. Dustin being surprised to silence...I'll take it that he really liked his present! 

We had a little party for all the Feb birthdays on my side of the family after church on the 15th. Dustin (2/3) turned 31, my mom (2/27) turned 61, and I (2/22) turned 29. It was nice family day over my brothers house for burgers on his new grill and then delicious cake after blowing out the candles. After the celebration, my friend Alli and I had dinner and saw 50 Shades of Grey, but we won't elaborate on that... 

The following week was my birthday. Nashville had a crazy ice/snow storm hit so I got to spend the majority of the week with my girl. Talk about an awesome birthday present! But alas, had to go back to work (for 2 days... not bad) and then it was the weekend again. That Saturday, my friend Erica was supposed to come in for a visit but the weather made her change plans. Missed her so much. So off to Reme Lynn's (Jess from work little girl) birthday we went. She turned 2 on the 20th. Precious blonde little beauty. It was jungle themed and Jess went all out! It was perfect at Monkey Treehouse! Good times. The next, we went to Murfreesboro to celebrate my birthday and the rest of the Feb birthdays on Dustin's side of the family. I'm telling you... February is CRAZY with all the birthdays! We had a birthday bash for Dustin, his mom, Meredith, and myself. It was a nice family day with great food and gifts! 

Monday night some of my friends got together at Virago for sushi and drinks. Delicious. No pictures from that because the lighting was so bad. But first, Brad (boss man at work) surprised me with a little bowling session at Pinewood Social.. so off we went. The whole media gang bowled for about an hour with the names- Brad (boring), Pip (Caroline), Swag (Maggie), Kitty (Sarah), and Red29 (me).. and Jay joined us later. Good times with great friends made that Monday extra special for me. Truly blessed to have those people in my life. 

February may be crazy but it is happy chaos filled with delicious food, great talks, awesome gifts, and pure love from the people around you that you love the most. Birthdays are always good for the memory bank. 

So...cheers to being 29... last year in my twenties... next year... VEGAS BOUND with the hubs for my big 3-0!!
