Belated Birthday Post

Hey, I had a birthday! I'm soOooOooo late on this post..but here it is!

 Father's Day this year landed on such a wonderful day, my birthday of course! I am now 28, wow, where did my twenties go? Anyhow, my weekend was filled with fun, family, and lack of sleep. My dad was in town, all the way from Puerto Rico, so we had fun exploring Charleston together.

We enjoyed the scenery at waterfront park. Strolled the farmer's market at Marion Square. Tasted yummy local goodies, and soaked up some sun.

We later cooled off with drinks & music at Wet Willies.

                                      

The celebrating continued as the sun went down.  My girlfiends and I danced and laughed all night long.

Whew, almost done celebrating. Since Sunday was my actual birthday it was only fit that my family and I get together for lunch at one of my favorite spots on Shem Creek.

The highlight of the day wasn't the good food, the pretty sceanery, or the beautiful birthday cake, it was the sponteous boatride on The Thriller that had us screaming and laughing our heads off. We actually could be heard all over the Charleston Harbor. It was the perfect way to end such an amazing weekend!

Fave Thing Tuesday. Wait, it's Friday.

I missed two Fave Thing Tuesdays! So here are my two new favorite things.

#1. Peanut Butter and Oatmeal.

(fyi-this isn't my photo, but it's so adorable. yes, food can be adorable.)

Sounds crazy? Yeah, I know. But it's totally delicious, creamy, protein filled, and keeps you full much longer than plain oatmeal. I used a low cal/fat cinnamon oatmeal and added a small tablespoon of natural crunchy peanut butter. This covers so many cravings, and more importantly, helps fuel me up for the day without causing a sugar crash an hour later.

#2. Gift Cards and Purses!

We still have some gifts left over from Christmas, and it's July! On top of those, I was spoiled for my birthday and showered with more gift cards and two new Coach purses. Jason and I will surely be using our restaurant gift cards soon. Tomorrow we plan on going to Hominy Grill for breakfast and then doing some real estate/ apartment hunting (we might be moving this Fall).

Lola was checking them out. Girl's got taste.

The pink is a Daisy Tote, cute for summer.

Early Birthday Bash!

What a weekend. My weekend was filled with girlfriends, jello shots, sangria, cupcakes, and lots of photos. My birthday is June 17th and my friend Dawn also shares that fabulous date. We planned an early birthday cocktail party at my place to get the night started with our lovely sexy girlfriends. I tried my best to behave and count points but that really didn't happen. I enjoyed the food and jello shots, I think everyone else did too.

                                                   Birthday girls!!!

My bestie Sondra baked up some perfectly pink cupcakes. Can't have a birthday without cake. Right?

We took lots of photos..



It was a phenomenal birthday celebration and it couldn't have happened without all my crazy, fun, amazing friends. AND I'm so lucky because more festivities are on this week's schedule.
