26 years.


Today I am 26. That is crazy to me! I am only 4 years away from 30, and I feel like I have sooo much to do before then! But as for today?? I am going to go enjoy myself! 
No work! A nice work-out, manicure and pedicure, shopping by myself (my favorite thing ever), a late afternoon movie with Chris, and then out for some yummy food!
It is literally my perfect day!

Oh, and Chris let me open my b-day presents early, last night, and surprised me with red lace TOMS, and the most amazing lulu lemon yoga pants (I now know why women swear by them)! They were both exactly what I wanted, and I didn't even really tell him! He is a gem, that husband of mine!

Best birthday yet?? I think so!!
{This is what I wore out to my first birthday dinner (gotta stretch out the bday as much as you can, ya know?!) on Saturday. This top was one of my early birthday presents to myself. We tried Veersaway on Randolph and it was the most amazing Indian Street Food ever!}

Happy Birthday, Stacey! You and I share the same bday, but I, unfortunately, have crossed the threshold into my 30s. So depressing!

I hope today is wonderful for you and all of your wishes come true!

Happy Birthday!! Just found your blog from Teri's. My birthday was on the 3rd and I also had an amazing, relaxing day. I totally agree on wanting to do so much before turning 30. Unfortunately, I'm only 2 years away! My husband's name is also Chris. ;) http://edibleperspective.com
