Happy Birthday to Me!

I realize the older I get that if I want a happy Birthday I need to make it happen, so this year as I turned 43 I had a birthday weekend.
On Friday my good friend Khristine Pettingill arranged a birthday lunch with some of my friends: Allyson White, Janis Harrison, and Jennifer Marchek. We went to Chili's and had a great time! That night Rich and I had dinner at Yummy Kitchen (a Chinese restaurant on Blue Ravine next to Mr. Pickles) and then a movie.
Saturday after Bekah's soccer game and Savanah busy with a fund raiser car wash, I took Lizzy and we got our toes done.

That night Rich took me out again to dinner at Olive Garden. We then picked up some beautiful cupcakes from Beth Wallburger (she has a side business called Little Delights Cupcakes http://littledelightscupcakes.blogspot.com/) She made me chocolate cakes with a pumpkin filling and topped with chocolate fall leaves, so yummy!

Sunday was church and then that night a friend brought over a super yummy Indian dinner with rice and a chicken tiki marsala. Every year our RS does a service auction, where you donate something and are given points so you can bid on other things. I won an Indian dinner from Danielle Post, with her brining it over on Sunday I didn't even have to cook on my birthday ;)
Rich surprised me with a Kindle reader for my birthday. I'm so excited about it because I love to read and there are 1,000,000 free book you can download as well as all the ones to buy, you end up saving a ton of money because e-books are so much cheaper!

Below are my pretty and yummy cupcakes


We had our friends the Marchek's over to share our cup cakes and ended the night with singing "Happy Birthday", eating yummy cupcakes and hanging out with friends. What a great weekend!

Remember for your own birthday not to wait for someone else to plan something but do it yourself, for yourself!
