The Big 3-0!!

Yes, the day has finally come.  I am turning the big 3-0!  It is kind of sad to say goodbye to my 20's.  I guess it's hit me a little harder than I thought it would.  There were so many good times.... but I am looking forward to all the many things to come in this next stage of my life.  Tonight, I'm looking forward to celebrating with my friends and sweet husband over dinner and drinks.  Hope all of you have a lovely weekend as well.

XO,

Happy 4th!!

Hope you are all having an amazing day celebrating our Independence Day!!  We have so much to be thankful for and are blessed in so many ways.  I'm proud to say that my dad and grandpas served our country and were all veterans of war.  I'm so grateful and thankful for all of the men and women that make sacrifices for us every day and continue to fight for our freedom. 

As this year the 4th fell in the middle of the week, and of course we have to work before and after, we stayed in town and decided to relax at home and grill out. We made shrimp and vegetable kabobs with grilled corn.  For an appetizer, I made a Red, White and Blue cheese and fruit tray with blueberries, watermelon, and goat cheese.

For dessert, we put popsicles in champagne.  Strawberry and lemonade popsicles of course to keep with the theme of red and white!  Oh and I should mention now that Cupcake Prosseco is our absolute fav to drink.  If you haven't tried it, well you should!!  The Cupcake Pinot and Cab are delish too.  Great bottles of wine in the $10 per bottle range.

One more thing....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful mother!!  Lucky for her she has a wonderful birthday as there are always great parties, days off of work and fireworks to top it all off!!! She's an amazing mother and is one of my best friends too.  Love her very much!!!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday today to the one I love. 

To celebrate this past weekend we took the boat out for a day of fishing.  We invited another couple to go with us, grabbed some snacks, beer and champagne and hit the waters all day.  There was only one keeper trout caught, but it was still a wonderful day!! The weather turned out to be beautiful after the crazy storm on Friday night.  I know Jeff would've loved to catch more fish, but we appreciated him navigating us through the bay waters all day anyways!

We especially enjoyed the sunset cruise as we headed in.  I was just in awe of these views.

This evening to celebrate on Jeff's actual birthday, we are going to....wait for it....leave work early to.........GO FISHING!  haha of course we are! :)  Just he and I and hopefully an amazing sunset again....and possibly a lot of fish! 

 

Love you. XO,
