Happy 25th Birthday to ME!

This post is a little late, but I'M 25! whoop whoop! AND my birthday was on a SATURDAY! I don't remember the last time my actual birthday was on a Saturday, but I already can't wait until my birth date hits that mark on the calendar again! It was fun having a whole day with the hubby be all about me. :) I know that sounds selfish, but it was fun! This birthday, since some of our Nashville friends went out of town for NYE weekend, I wanted my actual birthday to be just me and the hubs. First, we woke up that morning and he made me pancakes! My favorite! They were so good! Then we went shopping... Yes, shopping. That is what I wanted to do! Ryan was such a good trooper during our 3 hour trip to the mall! He even bought me a new pair of jeans and a jacket! Then we were off to Park Cafe for appetizers and drinks before the hockey game. That night we watched the Nashville Predators beat the Anaheim Ducks- or better known as the Mighty Ducks! Of course Ryan pulled out his connections (Thanks Jason!) and we got to watch the game from one of the restaurants as well as eat and drink for free! Afterwards since some of our friends were out and about we met up with them for a couple Blue Moon's at Sam's Sports Bar. (I'm glad you guys stayed out!)

My big birthday celebration with most of our Nashville friends was on the following Tuesday. This is the second year I've had my birthday at Mafiaoza's for 2-1 pizza slices and 2-1 beers. I just love that place, and I think I'm going to make it my birthday tradition! Thanks to everyone that came out and helped me celebrate! And a shout out goes to Amy and Robert for making a fearless attempt to bring there 2 month old baby, but didn't make it much past the parking lot because of how crowded and loud the restaurant was. I'm glad I got to see you guys for a minute though!

And now for some pictures...

For those of you that don't know, I've had a DQ ice cream cake for my birthday since before I can remember. They look a little different now than when I was little since I used to get horse heads on them. I kid you not.

Sadie's First Snow

We got snow in Nashville last week! Wahoo! Of course everyone freaked out and bought all the milk and eggs in the grocery store and canceled schools the day before, but we actually got some this time! Sadie LOVED it...

Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
