Happy Birthday to Me!

Man, am I one blessed lady! People all around me have made me feel so special this week, all celebrating my birthday in so many different ways. Dinner with my local family, pot-luck lunch with my co-workers, and even 30+ birthday wishes on The Facebook.  It sure does make a girl feel special!

But the most Blessed thing about being me is my Sweet Husband, Eric.


We had a great weekend in Glen Rose the weekend before my birthday, with dinner in Tolar and drinks at Rough Creek Lodge. We also spent a few hours at the Lone Oak Winery on a sunny Sunday afternoon.












This was a fabulous weekend for the two of us. But much to my surprise, he had much more in store for me. When I got home from work Monday evening, he had a gift and a note for me that read 'Welcome to the 5 Days of Francie'. He claims that 1 day is not enough to celebrate my birthday, so he had 5 special days lined up for me.

What?? Are you kidding me? This guy!!

Day 1: I got an iphone alarm clock, so I don't have to fish around in the dark anymore to find the snooze button.

Day 2: I awoke to a new package waiting for me in the bathroom, stuffed full of new lotions. (I love Bath & Body lotions!)


Day 3: Some great new items from Victoria's Secret. Some everyday items that I don't normally splurge on for myself. 

Day 4: Our super-special date night to Eddie V's. Oh my goodness is that restaurant De-Lish-Us. Filet, scallops, shrimp, crablegs. Roll-me-outta-here kinda goodness. Followed by some live music at the Grease Monkey with Maren Morris & Van Darien.



This also gave me a good opportunity to wear my new
 shoes (that have been in the closet for months).


Day 5: (My actual Birthday) I woke up to a Gift Certificate for a day of pampering at the spa & received these beautiful flowers at work. I wrapped up the day with dinner at one of my favorites, the Mellow Mushroom, with Eric, Preston, Mom, Enno, MB, Nell, and Ezra. 

What a Great Week! The 5 Days of Francie. 


What a Thoughtful Man I am married to - He's the best Present I ever got.
