the one where i turn 30

Today is my 30th birthday! 

Since my no annual leave time at work started today, 

I celebrated this weekend. 

I think it should be against some sort of law to work on your birthday. ;) 

Here is a recap of the birthday weekend: 

cute birthday weekend mani

Friday: 

D took me to The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Savannah. 

I love all things military and airplanes ... win, win. 

The museum is a smaller one but it is just beautiful. 

The Mighty Eight Air Force was instrumental in WWII. 

It flew missions from London to Germany. 

The had a gorgeous chapel on the grounds made to look like the ones on the English countryside. 

And, of course, there were airplanes. 

The museum is right in our back yard and I had no idea the significance of the Mighty Eighth. 

If you are interested in history at all, 

it is definitely worth at least Googling. 

For lunch, I got Chipotle! 

Then we just went to several stores around Savannah. 

Our last stop was Coldstone Creamery. 

Ice cream is mandatory on a birthday trip. 

We also had to pick up my ice cream cake from Coldstone. 

Saturday: 

Nothing really birthday related happened on Saturday. 

We went to a Couple's Shower for one of D's cousins that is getting married. 

We were supposed to swim all day but it was really rainy. 

{Not complaining though. 

I am the granddaughter of a farmer ... rain is ALWAYS a good thing.} 

Sunday: 

D's put together a birthday lunch for me with his family. 

We had baked ham, Boston butt, baked beans, mac & cheese, bread pudding, 

and the Coldstone ice cream cake. 

Everything was so delicious. 

And I got a lot of really cute presents, 

including a super cute wine glass. 

Even though I do not drink wine, I put it to good use last night. 

We did get to go swimming for a quick minute. 

However, the water was freezing from the cloudy days, cool nights, and rain. 

After work, I get more presents from the Bestie! 

Then D is either cooking me supper at home or 

we will go out somewhere. 

Overall, turning 30 has been just like any other birthday 

and not bad at all. 

I am so blessed to have great friends and family.

28

Saturday was my 28th birthday!

I had so much fun celebrating with friends.

I did not want anything spectacular or too busy.

We kept it low-key by going out to eat Saturday night

and coming back to my house for cake, ice cream,

& of course, presents!

I have been wanting a wrap-style watch

for a while and my bestie got me this one.

My beautiful & yummy cake!

Overall, turning 28 was a blast!

last weekend recap...just a LITTLE late;)

I know this is terribly late but the only interesting stuff I have done was last weekend.

I am sure none of you want to hear about the mounds of reading, homework, and papers I have done so far this week!

M's birthday was Sunday but we celebrated on Saturday!

She wanted to go to Savannah and eat at Bonefish Grill.

None of us had ever been there before but it was really good.

Of course, we spent too much money shopping.

{Target is the DEVIL}

The BFF, A, bought a painting for her new office!

It looks really good!

{unlike this pic...sorry I took it with my phone}

The frame would not fit in the car so we have to go back and get that.

When we got back from Savannah.

M opened her presents and blew out her candles!

I actually got her tickets to the Braves game this Saturday,

but I wanted her to have a present to open.

So I got her a frame to put a picture of us from the game in, a couple of scrapbook things to remember her birthday weekends, and a gift card to Books-a-Million.

A got her a Twilight globe puzzle, Twilight magnets, and the new season of Eureka!

Mel turned the big 24;)

And we do not believe in number candles in our house!

We always put the exact number of candles.

Yes, we know eventually that will be a major fire hazzard!

I will definitely have a ton of pictures from the Braves game this weekend.

Hopefully, everyone has had a great week!

great finds

After scouring the world wide web,

I have found a few options for a professional bag.

Overstock may be my new best friend.

They have amazing prices; all of the ones I like

were at least 50% off their original price.

Here is what I have found so far.

I really like the first 3!

Which one gets your vote?
