31.


On Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) I will turn 31. Last year we didn't have a big celebration for my 30th because we were 1. in KY for Thanksgiving with family and 2. I was about 24 weeks pregnant. Since this year my actual birthday falls on the holiday, this past Saturday my sweet husband arranged for Nana to babysit and told  me we were going out to dinner. He even bought a new dress for me as my birthday gift and gave it to me early so I'd have something fun to wear. What I didn't know, was that he had also arranged for many of our friends to join us at the restaurant for a little surprise party! We had great food, great company and just an all around wonderful time. It is so nice to get away for a little while and enjoy conversations with some of my favorite people.


This is such a nice photo of my dear friend Ashley and her sweet husband Chad (and Baby Campbell #2). I owe all photos from Saturday to Chad because I, once again, didn't take a single one!

My super awesome (and outspoken) brother-in-law, Richard and his fabulous lady, Samme. We just invite him out so he will bring his girlfriend. J/k but we do really like having her around. These two were kind enough to continue celebrating with me later into the evening.

My sweet friend Katie and her husband Justin (and Baby Smith #2). Katie is due on Christmas Eve but baby boy will be here by the 15th. We can't wait for another little man to join the group. Thanks for making it out. I know how hard these last few weeks can get.

My oldest friend, maid of honor, and god mother to Wilson-Sytira (and Ashley again ) :-). She made it in from Richmond and got to spend the night with us and play with Wilson some on Sunday morning. It was such a treat to have her here.

Beautiful Larissa and Handsome Farmer. I love these two.

The newlyweds-The Blakes. I swear they are still tan from their Hawaiian honeymoon. 



 It is hard to believe that I moved hear just 6 years ago. Northern VA feels more and more like home all the time and I have you guys to thank for that! Cheers!
