A great day indeed!
I wanted to share with you how great of a day I had Monday for my birthday! It was because of my husband, family, friends & all of you, my blogging friends that it was so special! Thank you for all of the sweet comments, they mean more to me then you know!
My husband did an incredible job making me feel like a princess! He surprised me with the Tory Burch riding boots I have been wanting for years! They are gorgeous! They are a little snug so I am going to try the size up and see if they fit better around the calf as I am wanting to wear them with leggings and jeans.
He also got some of my favorite cupcakes at Gigi's & my favorite gelato, Amaretto!!
We went to an amazing dinner with his brother & wife that evening. We enjoyed a few different wines that I just have to share with you! They were excellent and I highly recommend them. The restaurant also has the most amazing chocolate lava cake and gave me truffles for my birthday (hazelnut/cocoa), amazing!
{1. Duckhorn Cab - amazing!!, 2. My sweet hubs & I, 3. Catena Malbec - another amazing wine, 4. my birthday outfit, 5. truffles, 6. my darling SIL & I}
My parents sent me two shirts from ATL (Mom must read my blog!), necklace, earrings and a little cash gift :) They always know what makes me happy!
My sister if you remember sent me the sea urchin that I am just loving and can't wait to style on my coffee table.
My blog friend, Sara, sent me this fabulous bracelet from her favorite store Fab'rik. She is so sweet & we have so much in common. You need to head over & check out her blog if you don't know her!
My BIL & SIL went above & beyond and gave me several necklaces (Francesca's Collections) & a super cute wine bottle sock monkey!
My MA's at work surprised me with a basket of some of my favorite things! The wine glass is just perfect, it says "so many shoes...so little time"! They must know me?? :)
My in-laws sent me this amazingly fabulous cookie bouquet & sent me some $$ so that I could upgrade my Nikon D60 to....
my new Nikon D5100!!!
I am so excited about my new camera! I also got a news lens, the 55-300 and am selling my 55-200 today. I am hoping I can get some closer shots with the extra zoom. One thing I have really wanted to get back into was photography and hopefully this new little toy will help me do that!
Last but not least one of my best girlfriends from college, Jacque, sent me a gift card for ATL! Can't wait to see what kind of goodies I can find!!!
Thank you again for making me feel so very loved!
I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!
