oh what a day, it was.

birthday weeks are the best! last week was my birthday and i have to say, it was probably my favorite as of yet.  here's the rundown...

birthday morning:
went for a run, park/pilates. ended up carrying our dog charlee on mile 4 until mile 6.



-came home, watched a lifetime movie while doing yoga on the carpet.
-watched my sister make amazing gluten-free chocolate chip cookies
-went to lunch with some of my sweet friends (veggie grill - my favorite)
-everywhere we went, there was no traffic, perfect weather. best day.
-went shopping at the irvine spectrum

-nails done with sister elise and jack
-gf z-pizza (favorite pizza) at my brother's house
-opened presents, ate half a dozen chocolate chip cookies, help baby asher

-went bowling with most of the family until ten

throughout the week, my sweet friends took me out to dinner every night. 

i even went bowling again.

i wish i took pictures, but i don't.

then on saturday night some friends met me at lazzy dog in huntington beach and kent flew down and rented a car to take me out for this night.  he was a treat.
