So i had another birthday…

As most of you know by now, my birthday was this passed Sunday. and as many of you know, i love my birthday. i love to celebrate my birthday as long as i can. this year most certainly didnt disappoint. My fabulous husband told me at the beginning of last week that he had planned a surprise for friday night, kicking off my birthday weekend right. He had arranged with our good friends Claire and Brycen to get tickets for the Reds game, stay at a swanky hotel and gamble the night away at the new casino in cinci. I was so excited. We havent been to a Reds game since last August. and i LOVE going to baseball games. (my favorite part: a ballpark hotdog. no hotdog is better than a ballpark dog. but i digress)  The reds lost unfortunately but in the company of some of my favorite people, we continued to have way too much fun that night.

the next morning was a little rough as we all stayed up wayyyyyyyy past our bedtimes. But we got up, had a delish breakfast and headed back home. I had day 2 of celebrating that night! thanks again claire bear and b-money, we had so much fun with you guys!!Fast forward to saturday night and it was cocktails and pics before dinner. then watching the buckeyes dominate and more cocktails after dinner. now, a little backstory.. my friend meg and i have the same birthday. and we both love to celebrate it. so we decided to do it in style. here’s meg and her handsome hubs:and of course me and my handsome hubs..birthday girls!girls just wanna have fun, right? well, we did that night!CHEERS!my amazing JJ got us the most delish birthday cake! Its from Crumbz Cakery in Hilliard and it was amazing. If you need a cake, i definitely recommend them!  The next day was my actual birthday and i woke up to another amazing present from JJ.. i’m so in love with this ring. i’m never taking it off. then it was time to  head home to beavercreek and celebrate with the family. my moms birthday is just 3 days before mine so we had a joint celebrations.. and my mom got us a DELICIOUS cake too!!! and i wonder why i cant lose this weight! hahaha i cant give up cake!!and once again, we dont have a full family photo, my sister and her husband were on vacation (i see how it is, miss my birthday for the beach ;-P) so we have two incomplete family photos, one w justin and dani, and one with brad, both without mandy. hahamy favorite part about this photo is little Lo lo’s face (she’s on the far left in the purple). and rae rae is totally blurring bc she was squirming to get away from me.i love this pic. my photo bombing little brother. the cake frosting on lo lo’s face.. and her sweet little smile. and of course.. my amazing amazing husband.. thanks so much love for making my birthday more than i could have ever hoped for. i love you more than you know. xx
