Happy Birthday to Me! {27 woo!}

Happy birthday to me!  

Today I'm hitting 27, so I thought I would throw together a bunch of old birthday photos

So it's my birthday everyone!  Turning 27 and feeling pumped about it.  27 is going to be a great year I think.  I am mostly hoping for stability, happiness, and letting the good times continue to roll.  So today I'm going to take a walk down memory lane and look at some other birthdays from my 20s...brace thy-selves.

2007, turning 21.  It was a Tuesday and we went to a bar called Joe's on Weed St.  that had $2 pitchers and 25-cent beers.  #collegelife Also, this is when Sparks were big and there is a sparks hiding in this pic.  

2008, turning 22...eating chili cheese fries at Portillo's, duh.  After that I ate a huge Italian meal at a place called Quartino's in Chicago too....damn I want that metabolism back.

2010, turning 24....also celebrated our first dating anniversary!  We went to the Signature Room at the Hancock building that year.

2011, turning 25!  My mom makes the most legit birthday cakes ever.  I mean you can see that here...three layers, whatever kind you want.  Because it's your day.

Ok, so I don't have that many pics of my adult birthdays, woops. Last year we went out to the Original Carrabba's on my birthday, so delicious and legit.  We are going out to a casual, more chill dinner tonight and then plan to have a few friends over Saturday and go out to some bars.  Who's bringing the Sparks?! :)

Happy Birthday Husband!

Today is Bryan's birthday and I am so happy that I can post my plans for him, FINALLY!

I have been keeping it all a big secret to everyone except my parents, and now it can be revealed because he actually knows some of it now!

It all started with a dream...to go golfing. I was just going to book him a tee time and send him on his merry way, but then it evolved...into something much better.

Two of our friends clued me into the fact that he would probably like to play at Tour 18 up in Humble, (silent H, everyone.), and that we could go as a foursome and use a gift cert. one of the guys had...the only catch was everyone (read: me and the two boys) getting off work for today because Bryan already had off.

Oh, and using the gift certificate for a day other than Monday-Thursday, which are the only days it was good for! 

Conveniently, I work in Humble day in and day out, so I drove down to the course one afternoon on lunch and spoke with the manager, who agreed to let us play later in the morning if I paid for our cart fees.

And so, the great birthday surprise was on!

Last night, I let Bryan go to bed thinking I had to work again this morning, and I am waking him up (maybe I already have woken him up?) with the surprise that the two of us are actually going golfing!

Oh wait, Sara, I thought you said there were four?  There are.  He won't know about the guys coming until we get to the course and they magically appear!

WIFE. WIN.

So happy birthday, husband! I love you so much, and can't wait to share many more birthdays with you!!

Ps did I mention this will be my first time golfing since high school??
