Goodbye 34...Hello 35!


So yesterday I celebrated my 35th birthday...well, honestly, it was a weekend of celebrating! On Friday night, my amazing small group (minus Melanie) cooked out and had a fantastic dinner at Sara's place. Sara and Martha are quite the grill masters! It was delicious and just a fun evening...it had been awhile since I had hung out with them for just a social night...it absolutely reminded me how lucky I am that God brought us all together almost 2 years ago. Yesterday, I slept in and lounged around the house some. Mike came over about 4 and surprised me with 2 beautiful white rocking chairs for my back porch! We were at Home Depot a few weeks ago and when we left, we sat in some rocking chairs outside of the store and I mentioned that I wanted to get some for my back porch. When I saw them, I couldn't believe it...I was so excited and shocked! He said they were for us to grow old in! We moved them to the back patio and rocked in them for a bit...I can't wait to spend many evenings sitting out there with the love of my life! We went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory (a personal favorite of mine) and then met Jen and Nate for dessert and drinks at Cafe Intermezzo, which was delicious!! This morning we got up and met my parents, David, and Lauren at The Georgia Club for brunch...it was unbelievably good! I am one blessed girl and this birthday weekend just reminded me how incredibly blessed I am!



A look back at 34...
-completed my 4th half-marathon
-completed my 6th Peachtree Road Race
-got a bit faster when running and gained the confidence that I AM a runner
-completed my 13th year teaching (only 17 more to go!)
-had my 6th (and hopefully last) hand surgery
-met the man of my dreams!

A look ahead at 35...
-tackle my 5th & 6th half-marathons (and maybe #7)
-conquer my 14th year teaching
-get faster
-hopefully get a ring and change my last name!
