Kicking Off My Birthday Week!

The next couple of weekends we are pretty busy so we thought that this weekend would be the best time to celebrate my birthday (my bday is this coming week). I have not been as excited about this birthday as I have others. I am not sure if it is because I am getting closer to 30 or if we just have so much going on it just kind of snuck up on me. I think it is that I am more excited about Colin's birthday and his just happens to be so close to mine that it just overshadows it. I keep telling Will I am not 27 until 8:00 PM EST, since I was born at 5PM PST. I am giving myself to the last second! Maybe I am not looking forward to 27 :)

Saturday:

OK, to get the point of this blog...Will made birthday plans on Saturday and would not tell me anything! He planned a perfect day for me! Aunt Wen and Uncle E babysat - thank you guys! Will first took me to Olive Garden for an early lunch! I love Olive Garden and it has been a while since we have been there. The food was delicious! I even tried something new...stuffed chicken Marsala...highly recommended!

We skipped dessert and went on to our next thing...ICE SKATING!!!! I was sooooo excited! I love ice skating and it was something that Will has never done. He was so cute to watch. We had so much fun!! Will had a bit of a rough time at first ( I think he regretted not rollerblading when he was younger) but he ended up getting the hang of it and he never fell...came close a couple of times but ended up sticking it out until he found his balance! I do not think that this is the end to our ice skating!

We ended our time as childless parents with a stop at Starbucks (my kind of dessert)! My honey treated me to a white chocolate mocha, delicious! I have been on a clear or white food diet for what feels like forever, so no caffeine...I REALLY enjoyed this drink!

Sunday:

Yesterday, I woke up early to run and workout (the best way to start a morning). The weather was so beautiful. Cool but sunny. Since it was so nice we decided to go on a family walk so Colin could burn some energy. So energetic! We took him to some nearby tennis courts and he ran around and threw his new found tennis ball.

Later I met up with a friend of mine and some of her friends to go to a vineyard. The place was beautiful, the day was beautiful and the wine was wonderful! I still am not supposed to have colored drinks and food so I stuck with the white, but still enjoyed it. I loved the white sangria. I had such a nice time. The ladies had brought plenty of food, we got plenty of drinks and just enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL day! I love this weather!

Such a great start to my birthday week!
