I've been meaning to post some birthday pictures...
With the holidays full speed ahead my time with blogging has been limited, but I'm pretty OCD about not posting pictures/events out of order, so I figured I need to get these ones up before I start posting marriage retreat & Thanksgiving/Michigan pictures.
I never imagined turning 2 6 would be such a blessing; but it was.
- My awesome coworkers treated me to dinner at Depot Grill. I love those girls. I'm grateful for the people I work with. They make the 8-5 worth it.
- Vanessa Cote and I share the same birthday, so some of our friends teamed up and surprised us with a very fun filled day. We first headed out to Blenhein Vineyard in Charlottesville. It was a lot of fun, we had a delicious picnic spread and some delightful wine tasting ;P After that they took us out to Short Pump mall---LOVE Short Pump! Kevin gave me a generous amount to spend while I was there; I'm a big fan of getting to shop for my b-day!
THANK YOU dear friends for making turning 26 so incredibly worth it!
- Honey-dearest (Kevin aka Dunkets/Dunks)'s birthday is two days after mine. He turned 27 this year. This year has been a very challenging one for him (& I), with him finishing school he has been technically working two jobs for a year now, but good news, his birthday was extra special this year! His degree conferred (was made official) on his birthday. :) I'm very thankful for a husband who doesn't take education lightly, he is a nerd (& quite the good lookin' one I might add)...& I'm 100% thankful for it. Kevin now has his MA in Counseling, and is now accepted into Liberty's Counseling PhD program. Go-get-em babe!! Word around town is that he's an awesome counselor and I believe these rumors to be true. I see how much he takes this professor/calling very serious. I'm extremely excited for what his future holds. He's changing lives and I admire him for it. I wish to be more like him. OK I'll jump off my husband/Kevin soap-box.
Happy Birthday Babe!!
