Here's To you 27

Well it is official I have turned 27.  I am not sure that really means anything.  I don't feel older, my life is no different but I had an excellent time celebrating the day that comes and goes much too quickly. 

My Bestie Taryn and I share close Birthdays, with that I can't think of a better reason for a cookout. Can you? 

I am not taking No for an Answer.. Just Saying

Miss Jessi Showed up with champagne, She sure knows how to make a girl feel special.

And well.. We loved It! 

                                              

Here are Just a few more for your enjoyment :) 

Oh Yes.. Chester Came 

Living so far from home gets really tough at times.  I always wish I could go have dinner with my parents or visit them for the weekend just because I am homesick.  If you struggle with this I am always looking for tips on how to handle it.. Send em my way! 

Allison and I worked up a way for at least us three kids to connect every now and then.. This usually involves me in bed (cause I am an old lady) Allison working on something and walker drinking (I miss College).  

The night before my birthday we had our first family chat session and it was Fabulous.  An hour spent catching up, listening to music and singing happy birthday! Smiles had by all. 

(Allison did not really look this weird)

Ok we are official - I am 27 and Loving every minute of it! 

What I am loving even more are these beautiful flowers my sweet boyfriend sent me at work.  

What a Catch. 

Flowers are a prize possession and protecting them was my first priority.. 

I had no Idea how to get them home

Additionally on this day Mr. Chester got a Shave - He put that scarf on all by himself. 

Now for birthday Gifts.. 

I always say, don't get me anything but it is so fun to get stuff!!
