After eight days in Arizona for work, I'm finally back home in Texas... and just in time for my birthday! Officially 28, y'all!
I would love to talk about all the great times we had celebrating this weekend, but honestly, after being away from home for the last week, all I wanted to do was hang around the house and spend time with John and the pups - that's perfection in my book!
Here's a quick look of what we've been up to the past few weeks (and here's to hoping the rest of the year slows down a bit... yikes!).
***
I left for Arizona last Friday, and I was not looking forward to being away from our cute new pup... I don't think she could be any sweeter! And poor John, I asked him to send me pictures of her every 5 minutes (he finally told me no more, haha).
Although I was very busy with work while in Arizona, I was able to squeeze in some of my favorite things (food related, of course...). Iced tea and tons of tacos - I was a happy, well fed girl!
While everyone else was braving blizzards this past week, I was enjoying the beautiful 70 degree weather. And as pretty as snow is, I wouldn't trade the sunshine for anything... I am a warm weather girl!
While I was away, John took Scout hunting, and I just have to brag on this pup... she is little, but she is very hard charging - go, Scout go!
Scoutie riding shot gun!
And John was also able to squeeze in a little fly fishing on the Guadalupe!
Arizona is always good to me, but after a week or so, I was ready to head home and see my man! And sleep in my own bed. And do laundry. And use my own shampoo. You get the point...
I was greeted by these two cuties who seem to be warming up to each other quite nicely - with close monitoring, of course...
Although I was really only interested in lounging around for my birthday, we did make our way out of the house to see The Big Short and have a tasty dinner out - can't go wrong with that!
Tonight I plan on eating massive amounts of cake and drinking wine, all while watching the Bachelor... can't think of a better way to bring in a new year of life?! ;)
Happy belated birthday!! Love that photo of the pups together, so cute!!

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had the perfectly chill birthday this weekend! The Big Short looks like such a great movie, I want to see it so bad! And don't worry, I always ask my parents or my husband to send me lots of pictures of my pup when I'm out of town! I'm always hoping that he doesn't forget me!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday friend!! I hope this is your best year yet! And team Lauren B all the way!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I just turned 28 too! enjoy your wine and bachelor night. Sounds like the perfect evening!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! Coming home after a long business trip is the best! Your pups are so adorable :)
ReplyDeleteAh, yes! The Bachelor! I missed the live episode tonight, but I have it on tap for tomorrow. I'm so happy I have so many blogging friends that are watching the show because I seriously feel like I'm the only person in this entire state that is!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! So where does John go hunting? And where'd y'all eat for you birthday? You're always trying fun, new places!
