Surprise!!!

Well, we are all getting to be that age! The big 3-0! Ellen's sweet husband Daniel planned a surprise birthday weekend for her in Birmingham, and as you can see from the pic below, it worked! She was so shocked. She screamed at the top of her lungs when she walked in and saw all of us. It was priceless. We had such a blast! Friday night, we went out for sushi (don't worry...nothing raw for us pregnant girls.) Me, Jenn and Ellen stayed up late talking that night, and I think Ellen was still a bit in shock to have us all there! Then we got up the next morning, and talked for a few more hours. Went out, did some shopping, had lunch, and got our nails done! Saturday night, Daniel got a yummy Greek dinner for us and birthday cake. Yes...we talked and ate all weekend, and it was a blast. I realized how blessed I am to still have these girls in my life. I cherish you all, and am so glad to have you as my friends!

Ellen: How much have we been through? So much! You have been by my side through it all, and I don't know how I'd have made it through life thus far without your love and friendship!

Jenn: It cracks me up how much we have in common. Don't you think we could sit and talk for like weeks straight and never run out of things to say? Thank you for still loving me despite how crazy I know you think I am for my 'medical beliefs!'

Annie: You crack me up! You say what you think, and I love that about you. How is it that when I say what I think, people don't take it as well as when you do? You are such a beautiful person inside and out, and I love being around you!

Illy: You are the most sincere person I know. I don't think you could be any sweeter if you tried. I love that you have embraced motherhood. I knew you would be a great mom! Keep cherishing every moment with that baby girl.

I love my friends! Thanks for a great weekend girls. Can't wait for the next one!

Surprise Ellen!

Fashion Faux Pas and Cowboy boots

Last night, I had the best time at the Tim McGraw concert (thanks Brett and Raquel)! I'll post pics later, but just wanted to let you know about the fashion at a country concert in Birmingham, AL...hmmmm, very interesting. Me, Raquel, and Danielle were all so glad we didn't wear our cute dresses we were planning, because cute and girly was not the theme of the night! I'm not here to make fun of people, but I just want to shed some light on a few things you may want to avoid.
1) 6 inch long denim mini skirts-I don't care what size you are, these are not good (unless you are like 2 years old, and if you are, you aren't reading my blog).

2) Bathing suit tops with skirts-I don't care how hot it is...and it was...save your swimsuit for the pool. The rest of us were sweating in our clothes, you should too.

3) White silky see-through pants with white thong...eww...I don't even know what else to say about this except, don't do it! P.S. Poor Tadd spotted this one, and he almost threw up his dinner.

4) Cowboy boots don't make your outfit cool-just because you are at a country concert, doesn't mean you have to try to be a cowgirl when you obviously are not. Stick to who you are!
