17 Weeks and a Happy Birthday!

This past Monday was my 23rd birthday! What a great birthday it was! Saturday, a group of my girlfriends wanted to take me to lunch...so we went to McAlister's for a quick bite! I love my sweet friends and am so thankful to spend time with them! Not all of them knew each other so it was fun to get to introduce them. My precious friend Christin brought me a fun cake so we could all have a sweet treat after lunch!

Some of my closest friends!

Sunday night, we went to my inlaws house to celebrate! Nate bought me my favorite ice cream cake and Glinda cooked me a pot of my favorite soup! I love my inlaws and am so thankful for the relationship I have with them.

Blowing out my candle...Glinda only had a "5" candle so we figured it would work since 2+3=5....redneck I know!

Monday was my actual birthday and the sweet girls from work took me to lunch at Mimi's!

Then Monday night was dinner with my parents! They took me to Market Place and even got me a Moses Basket for Kinley!
