Birthday love!

Today I turned 26.... I don't feel any older, but I have to say; this has been one of the best birthdays I've had in a long time. Saturday we went to dinner with good friends to Joe's Crab Shack! So yum! They finally opened one up next to us and we got to go. It was an hour and a half wait, but it was SO worth it. The food was amazing and I've always loved the atmosphere there.

Then Sunday my in laws took me to dinner with Daniel, my brother in law and his girlfriend. We went to a new restaurant that opened up in Greece, NY called Kobe. It’s a sushi/hibachi place. It was EXCELLENT! The food, the show, the service, and even the birthday song was amazing! They served me their tempura which is I guess just a fancy name for fried iced cream, just what these hips need.

Tonight Daniel is taking me to my favorite Mexican restaurant called Monte Albon. It’s the best Mexican place I’ve found so far in Rochester. Don’t get me wrong, nothing will ever compare to the Mexican places back at home, but this is close enough to fill the void. It’s very tasty and very well priced!

On Saturday night when Daniel got home from work, he showered while I was getting ready to go to dinner and told me to stay in my room. When he told me to come out, I came out and found this on the table:

I was so excited! I love the fall colors of the flowers!! Fall is my favorite!! And he got me a Pandora bracelet!! I’ve been wanting one for so long now! He got me a dog charm to remember Lacie by. It made me happy, but I cried. So now I have something else to remember her by! It was very thoughtful of him. My friend Jenn got me a purse charm with a cute little pink rhinestone on it, my brother in law and his girlfriend got me a cute one with a pink flower, and I went and bought myself one with a blue sapphire for my nephew’s birthstone, which is also my birthstone and my sister’s birthstone, so I was super excited about that! I’m starting my little collection now, I love it!

I’m so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people!

This weekend, I did some shopping with my friend Jenn. I got a couple new pairs of jeans, a cute fall zip up jacket, a few new fall sweaters and a pair of sunglasses from Charming Charlie. I got some yummy new fall scents from Bath and Body Works. Cranberry Woods is my new fave! I got it in a car scent, now my car smells super yummy! Leaves is also a really good fall scent that I got in an oil along with a pretty oil burner for the fall!

I also purchased these boots this weekend online as another birthday present to myself. I've been waiting for these to come out, I've been DYING for some mid calf cognac boots, I am SO excited to get them in the mail! They had good reviews. I got them from Kohl's and they have a good return policy so I took a shot. I also got $10 in Kohl's cash for spending over $50.

I also got my Halloween costume from the website! Daniel agreed to do Meg and Hercules! Although he says he's going to be King Leonidas from 300 and my costume could be Queen Gorgo, but I beg to differ.

That's it for now, I'll leave you with this picture taken exactly 23 years ago today:

Have a blessed day!!
