You say it's your birthday...

First things first- Today is my birfday. 

I am no longer in my mid-twenties. 

I am officially in my late twenties.

I am not sure how I feel about it, but I do think someone should've gotten me some Botox.

So far, I have gotten some amazing cards, running gear( the most life changing sports bra, actually), flippy flops, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, new lotion and bath gel, a new skirt, and dollar dollar bills, y'all. 

Haven't gotten the presents from Philly and the girls though. :)

This weekend was A-Day... and we took Miss Addison and my Mama went too! 

We ate lunch at the Coliseum, and Coach Nick Saban talked and Addy ate some BBQ. 

Addy and MeMac

Addy and Nana

Why yes.. The Skybox view will do just fine. 

gotta love the reflection!

Me and Mama

Addy loved it

She did get a little cold, so I wrapped her up in my sweater

 This next picture, is just because I feel like everyone needs a good laugh. 

I am getting on to Addison for putting her hand up, and Jay's head is cut off. 

But, MeMe has her eyes open!!! 

Hopefully, it won't make the Christmas card cut. 

Happy Wednesday and my Birfday, peeps!

Weekend and E-Mealz Winner!

Saturday night we did PF Changs to celebrate mine and Philly's birthday with the his side of the family.

It was delicious!!  

Claire likes to show her her tricks! 

Claire.. the snotty nosed kid.... 

It's the Birthday Boy!!

His present from his parents! I'll ruin the surprise since I didn't take anymore pictures.. it's an apple tv! 

 Yesterday was his actual birthday- I got him a Jan cake- it was delicious! I cooked and my parents braved the storm to come eat some cake with us. 

I would have loved more pictures of yesterday, or ya know, ANY pictures from yesterday, but I am not going to lie. My days are starting to not have enough hours in them. And I don't like that one bit. So, I think I am going to attempt to go work out at 5 in the morning... I am not a morning person, but I think this will solve the drowning feeling that I feel from all the stuff I have going on and what I want to accomplish during the day. 

Anyway.. Random. Only in the South can you pull over on the side of the road and buy a gallon of fresh strawberries for $12. Yum. They are so delicious.  

Now onto the Giveaway winner...

It's BlessedMama!!!!

Congrats girl!! E-mail me and I will get you hooked up! 

Bloomin' Festival 5K and our Saturday

Saturday morning started with my very first trail run- The Bloomin' Festival 5K. I only did it because of total peer pressure from Robbie and Kelsie. It was definitely fun with them. My goal was to finish. I haven't run outside since Disney and most definitely haven't been training for hills. The race was described as a trail run in the woods with some gravel with a steep hill at mile 2. Umm. The hill at .25 mile was pretty intense and I'm going to say that at that point I wondered what I had gotten myself into. It had sprinkled that morning, had 98% humidity and was 67 degrees. And I was running in mud, gravel, and pine needles literally in the woods and never had any clue where I was. The race was at St Bernard- the catholic and prep school in our town. I got lost in there trying to turn in my application. No water on the course and we were dying.
We also got to jump over creeks. Fun times.
The finish line was literally running through the goal posts.

The Home Stretch! 

I like the way this girl is eyeing Robbie

Hi. I'm awkward and mess with my shirt while trying to cross finish lines.

Dork. Total Dork. 

Water please. So I don't vomit. 

Um. Not sure. 

I'm just awkward. 

Kelsie is either a cheerleader or Wonder Woman. You decide. 

Me and MeMac

Sadly, I don't have a picture with me and Philly and the girls or with Dad and Karen who also came out to support the race. I'm not going to lie. This race was so small, I actually expected a medal- there couldn't have been that many people in my age group and my time of 33:45 couldn't have been that bad. And then? They didn't give out 3rd place medals. I knew I was screwed then. Which, I didn't get one. 

We then enjoyed a day of shopping and eating with Robbie and Rebecca. Seriously. Love these two. They are going on a cruise next week and won't be around for my birthday. How dare they?? Anyway, Becca wanted to give me my birthday present- which was just perfect. I will reveal all my loot at a later date.

Since Philly's birthday is tomorrow, we are doing dinner with his fam tonight for both our birthdays, since his parents will be out of town during my birthday. I mean, geez. You'd think people would consider my birthday when they plan awesome vacations, but nope.
