Birthday, etc.

So this weekend was wonderful!!! Jonathan and my Mom certainly know me very well...

Since purchasing a house and becoming a 'big kid', I have really not been able to indulge one of my biggest passions which is shopping which I still hold stems from my passion for fashion and not from greed. I'm sure Jonathan can now confirm that there are a lot of clothes that I try on, but do not purchase!!! I just like looking at all the pretty clothes and shoes and bags and belts and jewelry and...

Well Jonathan was so very kind to indulge me, and took me on an all day shopping spree up at the outlets in Williamsburg, I had a blast, although I know Jonathan was more than worm out. But he is a wonderful Fiance' and will make a wonderful husband and I am truley thankful. I actually only ended up spending half the money he gave me that day...but the weekend was not over yet :)

On Sunday (my actual birthday) my Mom wanted to take me shopping. So after church and brunch with the regular crowd (including Jonathan in a pink shirt!!), my Mom and I went shopping at Patrick Henry. It was a lot of fun, and what was really neat was my mom wanted to get me pretty stuff to wear for my wedding night and honeymoon. I have never had such pretty things to sleep in, when the lady was folding it all up to put it in the bag, I got so excited because I couldn't help but think, wow my suitcase is going to look so pretty when I pack that stuff in it!! She got me 2 short, spaghetti strap night gowns and one matching robe and they are really shiny and smooth! I'm gonna look awesome! :) I also spent some more of my Mom's money and the rest of Jonathan's.

It was another wonderful day that we ended by going to Plaza Azteca with the rest of the fam and Jonathan. It was somewhat sad, but I did not invite Jonathan's Family and typically when we have these events, such as birthdays, in mine or Jonathan's life it involves both of our families, but my family was not invited to Jonathan's birthday (I think his family was upset about guest list stuff at that time), so I didn't feel right inviting his to my birthday. I'm hoping after the wedding our families will be able to be close again since it seems to be doing the opposite of what it's supposed to do. Families are supposed to be brought together over a wedding not torn apart.

I guess only time will tell, and I'll be praying in the mean time. I'm going out to sushi dinner tonight with my friend Sharon the D.J. so I guess my birthday never ends.

23 is shaping up to be a pretty amazing year!

P.S. We saw Smoking Aces this weekend, it was a decent movie, but you have to be really awake or it will be really hard to understand!!
