My husband turned 30!

First of all, I'm like 5 days late with this but between the move and my husband's birthday, I lost track of time.  I used random.org to select a winner for "The Pact" giveaway 

and that person was Kelly of Modern Camelot.  Congrats Kelly!

***************************

This weekend my husband celebrated his dirty 30!  He's not one to want a big celebration but he'll never say no to karaoke so that's what I planned.  We spent the afternoon lounging at the pool with some friends then headed out for dinner and karaoke that evening.

We bought a waterproof camera for our vacation to Okinawa and decided to put it to good use at the pool.

After some fun in the sun we were off to an izakaya for dinner and some karaoke!

 I...I...I...I work out!

The girls doing our best Guns N Roses impression

I love these girls!  I'm so glad we had one last fun night out.

We earned hearts from the karaoke machine for our rendition of "Hit Me With Your Best Shot".

We have some great friends here!

The whole gang!

As we were leaving we ran into a large group of Japanese people who were all wearing Obama t-shirts so we stopped to get a photo with them.

Unfortunately we had to say a few farewells at the end of the night.

The 6 of us spent a lot of time together over the past year and the memories we've made will stay with us a lifetime!

We finished off the night with a stop at a darts bar.  I'll give you one guess who won!

Birthday Celebrations

This weekend I celebrated my birthday a few days early.  I could not have asked for a better final weekend of my 20s!

Saturday I finally got to try one of the art bars that I've been seeing and hearing about.

Jill from Cheers to Art was a great host

With my sister-in-law, sister, and momma before we got started

We started with our blank canvases

 Then, after we got a base coat on, we started painting swirls

and more swirls

until we had a final masterpiece

I love that each one, although the same, is quite unique.

Saturday my BFF's parents allowed me to take over their home and have my birthday party there.  I am so blessed to have her and her family in my life!

{ps, she's responsible for my gorgeous new haircut}

it was a perfect day to be outside with so many of my loved ones

My friend's mom made me this sign and everyone signed it.  It was such a great, unexpected keepsake from my day.

I love these girls to pieces...and that guy in the photo?  Oh, that's Ernie Halter!

He played a private show for me and my friends and family.

{my husband really knows how to get me the best gifts!}

 E, you're the best!  Thanks for making my "dirty 30" one I'll always remember!

The weekend only could have been better if my husband had been around but he'll be here in time for my actual birthday =}
