30th birthday Archives |

Friday after I got off work Terence, Connor, & I drove to Arkansas….all night long…

“All night long (all night), All night (all night)

All night long (all night), All night (all night)

All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long! (all night), Ooh, yeah (all night)”

Oops! Sorry got a little carried away there channeling my inner Lionel Richie!

Anyway- We drove a lot. We arrived at our BFF Kristin & Nate’s house late that night and spent the night Friday & all Saturday with them. They have three wild, yet precious kiddos. Oh how I miss those kids! I miss all our friends and family back home. Every time we go home and visit I am reminded of how much I miss everything. I go see my friends who are begging me to come back. I visit old places I used to work and they are constantly reminding me if I ever did decide to move back I would always have a job if I needed it. It’s nice to know these things and to feel missed and loved by people. It’s nice to know they think of me too…..

Saturday we saw the Hangover II (hilarious!). We also went out for dinner and drinks at Ya Ya’s in Little Rock. They had a live band and the weather was perfect. We just sat, relaxed, and listened to music while we ate. I dropped Connor off with my parents before the movie and it was nice to have an adult night out.

Before we left we met up at Starbucks….here is Kristin with all the kids!

I also got ~~forced~~ her to pose with her Starbucks 🙂

Oh-Here is a pic my Mom took! She took me shopping on my birthday and I got some really cute clothes!

And we all got pedicures – Me, Nannie, Mom, & Aunt Karli

Ahhhhh…..relaxation indeed.

Okay-back to our visit with the Sullivan’s

Here is Miss Abby showing Aunt Becky her tapping skillz!

Isn’t she the cutest thing ever?

Brayden…I can’t believe he will be 9 this year!

Connor is saying “Whaaaaat????”
I don’t want to leave Momma!!!!

Of course you know there were several trips to Starbucks!!! Duh!

Gotta stay awake on these long road trips.

Kristin and I at Ya Ya’s for dinner

Don’t ask me what that blue concoction is in my glass…I wasn’t crazy about it….

Connor was entertained by Elmo & also watched some Elmo’s World on the DVD player in the car 🙂

I also had the pleasure of meeting up with Niki and Leah. Two of the fabulous bloggers I met up with at the Dallas Blogger Meet up. Those two girls are great and I love them 🙂

Niki gave the cutest card with owls on it and some Starbucks love. Thank you Niki!!!

I also recently participated in a Summer Blog Swap! My partner was Jaimie and she did a great job getting me all the summer essentials! Thank you Jaimie I LOVE all my goodies! She even sent a little something for Connor too 🙂

(I got Jamie one of these flower dish scrubbers…and I couldn’t resist & got one for myself)
