Onto the positive; last Tuesday was Geof’s birthday, so we saved the celebration for this weekend. Friday night, some of our friends came over and we had a few cocktails here and then headed out for the evening. We had a nice time and hubby really enjoyed himself, which was the most important thing to me.

I also received a package on Friday and wasn’t expecting anything, so I was surprised to see that it was for me. It turns out that my sweet friend, Lis sent me the most adorable tote bag and had my monogram embroidered on it in pink! I love it so much and it is absolutely perfect. It was an early birthday gift and so very thoughtful of her.
Cute bag!
Saturday, I gave Geof his gifts and had a cake for him. I got him the Kindle since he travels a lot and likes to read. He loved it and was so excited. It always makes me feel good when I know I did well on the gift selection. Saturday evening I took him out for a birthday dinner at an Indian restaurant that we wanted to try. The food was really good and the place wasn’t crowded considering it was the 4th of July. After dinner, we walked around town and talked. The weather was perfect and we had a nice night with just the two of us.

Sunday, I wasn’t feeling so hot and we just laid low. Our friend Kelly came by for a little while and we caught up. Later that night, Geof and I took the dogs to the park and wore them out. We came back home, relaxed and had a quiet night.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! What did you do?
Sounds like a great weekend! I'm curious to see how much your husband enjoys his kindle. I'm interested to hear how well they work.

ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fab few days. Cute tote!!! We worked on home projects galore. Why didn't we buy a new house?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time! That sucks about the party crazy neighbors; a Wed-Sat 4th of July party is definitely a little much.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute bag! I swear people celebrate in the most annoying ways on the 4th more than any other holiday :) I love fireworks but I think they should be limited to one night and not a week before and a week after :) it is great for the dogs :P hehe.
ReplyDeleteThe cake is so cute!! Looks like you guys had a fun weekend! :) Bummer you had to work!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good weekend! What a nice birthday suprise!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your neighbors might need an attitude adjustment Miss Jules, honestly. But you clearly made the most of the weekend despite them! Thanks for sharing pictures of the birthday, the Kindle is an amazing gift! You two look so cute in those pictures too, and the cake must have been yummy, the frosting is pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnd that Lis is the nicest, what a fun gift she gave you! Enjoy the rest of your week!

I had to work Friday too which wasn't the greatest, but at least it was really slow.
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks really good, and I'm glad you had a good 4th
