My Belated Birthday Post

So I am a huge fan of Birthdays!

Mine was last Thursday (February 23rd) and I have been celebrating away for over a week

Hence my blogging absence as I've been so busy and utterly exhausted by the time I reach the house :)

I started my birthday a weekend early (on Feb 18th)

As I headed home to Charlotte to be with my Family :)

Saturday was filled with a day full of shopping with my mom and younger sister

We hit up all our favorite shops and it was so nice to just have a day out

For dinner we met up with my dad and Andrew

We started to eat at Firebirds but it was 135 minute wait

(yes the hostest really said that even though a normal person would say 2 hours and 15 minutes)

So we left and went to another one of my local favorites

It was so nice to have a dinner out with my family :)

On Thursday( My actual birthday)

I went to school as normal

but lovely students had such a surprise

They threw me a surprise party and I received some lovely gifts, cards and candy and a bouquet of my favorite flowers

That night Andrew took me out to dinner to Nantucket Grill

We stuffed ourselves with delicious food and two huge pieces of coconut and tiramisu cake 

Yummm!!

Andrew also got me some amazing under armour workout clothes and an adorable new VS Bathing Suit

Here's the one I got but I'm sure it wont look like it does on the model

I enjoy my food a little too much for that :)

Saturday Night my birthday celebrations continued

We went to dinner at the Oxford in downtown Raleigh and stay for some adult fun once the band started

We took some more pictures but I don't have them so this is one I found online but some many of my wonderful friends are missing!

Overall my birthday was a success and I have such good friends and family that shared it with me.
