28 is GREAT!

Happy Birthday to Me! Well, yesterday.....but I didn't have time to post anything. Justin worked most of the day, and I hung out with Connor. We went to have lunch at my mom and dad's, where I got my very first wooden electric ice cream maker! Those of you who know me, know how much I just LOVE ice cream! Luckily it takes a little time and effort to make ice cream, so I won't be making it EVERY SINGLE DAY! Lol!

Granddad had a blast making Connor laugh yesterday! He kept going "who who who, who who who" in a silly voice, and Connor would crack up everytime! Check out this priceless pic! It's official, Connor has my dad wrapped up! It's absolutely precious :)

My fabulous husband got me this fabulous Coach purse for my birthday! Way to go, honey! You win the Husband of the Year Award! :)

Saturday night, we got together with friends at the Rib Room to celebrate my 28th! The food was delicious, the company was wonderful, but it was HOT AS HELL! Thanks to Justin for putting this little shindig together. He is the BEST at Birthdays!

And thanks to these two awesome people for bringing me into this world on June 13th, 1981, and for teaching me the ways of the world from that day forward. Now that I have my own child, I have a whole new understanding of the word "parent" and what it's about, and I love and respect them even more today than ever before.

Here are a few pics of my friends who I absolutely adore:

Ross, Jack, and Jill

Alex and Andrea

The Dancer's and The Hossley's

Crystal, Stephanie, and Me...oh, and little Miss Carley in Crystal's belly :)

After we all survived the heat, we headed to our house for some AC and some CAKE!! :) Everyone tried to pull one over on me, saying there wasn't any cake, but I KNEW there HAD to be CAKE, because I knew that THEY knew that if there wasn't any CAKE, someone was gonna suffer....LOL!! :) This fantastic cake from Steph, Crystal, and Justin came from Ricks Bakery in Fayetteville. Ricks has the BEST cake! :) Thanks y'all!

I got to spend my Birthday with my precious 12 week old son. He wasn't really in the mood for a photo op, but I wasn't letting up, I HAD to have my picture made with my son on my Birthday!

And last but not least, one of my favorite pictures.....the flowers are from my sweet baby boy, and I can tell that Michael's a little jealous that it's not HIS birthday....LOL! :)

I have had a great weekend! I start back to work tomorrow....a little sad? Of course, but will I survive? Absolutely! I know that Connor will be in the best care of his Nana and Gramma, so I have nothing to worry about. I am (slightly) looking forward to getting back out into the adult world, and just keep reminding myself that I have a new purpose to work and work hard: my son.
