Thanks love, it was the Perfect-Fairytale Birthday!!

August 31,1984. I can’t believe I am 25?!! Really?! 25!! That sound so much older than 24!! I am half way to 50. Getting old is the best, right????!!! I swear though the older I get the more fun I have… I suppose life can only get better with age…
I had such a perfect Birthday. I was spoiled by my mom and sister (Thank you so much!! You really shouldn't have).
Then I was really spoiled by my honey! After work Everett surprised me with flowers, a beautiful Cameo necklace and a nice dress for dinner (he picked out all by himself). It was an incredible night! We went to this amazing European restaurant; it really felt like we spent the evening in Europe. It was absolutely perfect, perfect, perfect, and perfect!! If we were in a fairytale it would feel exactly like this night!! After dinner we went home and he had me go in the other room for my last birthday surprise… He decorated our room with loads of candles and put red rose peddles all over our bed and then… THE END!! Thanks again, Ever’s for the PERFECT day!! xoxo


This girl played Happy Birthday for me on a Trumpet:)

Amber you are so funny! I love you and I love that your husband is so cute to you! I am so impressed that he picked out that cute stuff for you all by himself. He is a keeper for sure. How come on that list of "25" there wasn't: have my first baby? haha I guess you will be too busy with the rest of your list!

I am so honored to make the list of what you want to do when you are 25. I think you should have lunch in Pittsburgh with Tiffany! I would be happy to meet you in Midway when I am there over Christmas break if you prefer, but Pittsburgh is a city unlike any other. You would absolutely fall in love with it. Be your spontaneous self and come here with your hubs, that remember, I still have never met. I gave you multiple reasons to come here!!
