Has it been that long?

Whoa! I have been gone for a couple weeks! In the history of my blogging hobby, I have never gone more than a few days without posting ... life has not allowed for any down time lately! The laundry has piled up (my never-ending-battle!!), the house could use a scrub-down and an organizational guru, and I would love to just stay in bed for 24 hours and get as much sleep as my body would allow. But on to bigger and better things ...

I turned 30 yesterday, peeps!!

Oh yes I did ... and I am smiling about it, too! I had a fabulous weekend celebrating with a girls day out, getting my hair done, date night with my hubby, a movie date with my boys ... I am definitely one spoiled girl! Plus, it was Easter weekend!! Can y'all see why I have had zero time to catch up??

Birthday lunch with the girls at The Cheesecake Factory ... yum!! My sis-in-law surprised me by inviting 2 of my fave girlfriends to come along ... those sneaky girls are good at keeping secrets! The day before our girls day out, I got my hair done - I finally put in the purple extensions I had been wanting for years! I also cut 4 inches off, layered and thinned it out a bit, too. I will post some other pics soon of more details, and show you all the 2 feathers I also got ... you can kinda see them in the pic below (one is teal and one is white). Representing with the Oregon Duck!! He was chillin' at the mall we were shopping at, so we had to get a pic with him. The pedicure I got before lunch with the girls ... love the spring-y colored green! And I was so happy to be wearing sandals! We had a gorgeous day on Saturday before the rain came back. Me yesterday morning rockin' my new American Eagle sweater. It was just an ordinary Monday, except that my cell phone was blowing up all day!! All the birthday shout-outs on Facebook and by text were so awesome and drained my phone's battery! I definitely felt the love!

Homemade strawberry shortcake cupcakes made by my co-worker. She is uh.maze.ing and has mad baking skills!!
This next weekend, we will be partying with friends to celebrate my big 3-0!! I have the cutest outfit to show you all! Tomorrow I will show you what I wore for Easter ... Gilmore Girls fans will be a tad jealous!
Happy Tuesday - it feels good to be back!!
