Day Thirty: A Photo of Me Today and 3 Good Things that Have Happened in the Last Thirty (ahem) Days

This photo was not from today, but it was from my 29th birthday last week!  We went to Uchiko and it was...

BEYOND AMAZING.

My husband just knocked it out of the park by picking the restaurant that I had been dying to go to and making a surprise reservation!  What a stud.

So this was my first attempt at a sock bun, and I think it came out pretty great.  I also got new earrings from Cecilia and they looked quite cute with my outfit.  Another thing to eventually work into my 30 before 30, I got out a skirt that I have had for about 5 years, but have only worn twice!!

Not a great pic, but it will do....

So three good things:

1. I celebrated the following birthdays, Scott's belated, Emily, Logan, Pat, Erin, My mom, Dad, Maddy, ME!, and next up is my big bro.  (It's been a fun 30 days/two months!)
2. Scott and I are 3 seasons through Parks and Rec. and I'm loving it!
3. I turned 29 and I'm okay with it!  We will see what 30 brings.

Day Twenty-Five: Something that I miss

Gosh.  I miss living in a dorm.  No wait I don't. 

I miss living within 5 seconds of all my closest girl friends.  We would hang together all the time when we lived in the same dorm.  Movie nights, craft time, IM chats, the UGE!, etc. etc.  My friend Red used to run down the hallway fling open our door and blast me in the face with a pillow and then run off.  I would chase after her but she would lock her door so I couldn't get in.  Pansy.

I don't think I was the best roommate in the world (sorry Erin, Cici, and Mere!) but looking back, I do miss being so close with everyone.  Now my best friends from college live in NYNY, LA, Nebraska, Dallas, San Antonio, Chile, San Fransisco, and me in Austin!  We are all over the place and I can't wait for the next time we get to reunite!!  Most of us will be at Bequisha's wedding in Santa Ynez which is going to be a beautiful time!

Day Nineteen: Another photo of me (because I know you all want it.)

I love this pic and just found it randomly in my iphoto sets.  It's (left to right) Logan, Billy, and me!  We were watching my husband coach a little league team with our friend Jose.  They weren't winning so I had on my rally cap!

Day Nine: A photo of the item I last purchased

I didn't take a photo of all my groceries, but let me tell you, I went to HEB and bought a bunch of stuff! Last night with said groceries, I made scalloped potatoes and pork chops from my efforts to cook recipes from the same cook book all month!  I've made about 4 recipes from the book so far and they have come out....okay.  The cook book is a New Orleans/plantation/southern food cook book so everything has been pretty rich.  Bacon, butter, crab meat etc. have all been major players this month. 

Listening to: Wait Wait Don't Tell Me (The NPR news quiz)

Enjoying: Kai's nap (that will only be 2 hours today b/c we have to go meet up with Kai's grandpa!  um, yesterday was a 3 HOUR NAP!! It had been a while, and it was glorious.

Also enjoying: Sweet Leaf Tea from shopping trip yesterday.

Looking forward to: Girls night on Thursday with my chickadees from churchy church, a baby shower for my friend, Ali, and the Howard's visit on Saturday with D1 and D2!!
