Happy 26th Birthday to us!!!!!
July 11th was Cody's birthday!
On Cody's actual birthday night, he got home really late after football (11:30pm) and came home to my famous brownies, fun bday decorations, and presents (from everybody).
We actually celebrated Cody's birthday the weekend before since the week and following weekend would be so crazy. So the Saturday before, we woke up, ate Chick-fil-a breakfast, and I surprised Cody taking him to a driving range. Neither of us had done anything like it or even played golf! But we had an absolute blast!! We bought a $9 basket of 100+ golf balls and had at it!
Once we started to get the hang of it, it was a blast!
We then went to Dicks Sporting Goods, ate sushi for lunch, went to the bookstore, and finished the day with a dessert from Cheddar's and watched a movie at home.
#muscles, couldn't help it, my dad would be proud ;)
One of my favorite gifts was from Cody, a Hei Hei from Moana! It yells just like it too! I love Hei Hei!
Funnily enough, Cody's dad's birthday is on the exact same day as mine! I made him some of my famous brownies with a card and dropped it off at his house before work that morning.
We also celebrated my birthday with my family the following weekend. They made me feel so special!
To start the fun and busy Saturday birthday bash off, Cody and I met with our cabinetry guy at 8am to choose our cabinets and granite (check the toolbar house post for the more detailed updates on this) so that went very well and was very efficient. Then we went to Polly Claire's tea room with Gigi, Nana, Mom, and Morgan!
It was such a fun experience!
The delicious tea room bites and soft vanilla scones!
Hope to not spill the tea.....herbal that is 😅
I was SO right in my element!
I picture this snapshot above being framed and put in the wall of my grand kids house to show their family what their great or great great grandmother looked like and what life looked like in the "early" 2,000's ha.
After tea we went to my apartment to change clothes and open presents.
Of course I had my buddy sit next to me 💗🐕
Then we headed to the Lost Sea! I hadn't been here in over 15 years!! It was such a fun adventure!
When I got home later I had to organize my new tea holder before heading to the Ringgold GA rodeo with Cody!
I sure know how to pack in a lot of fun into one day!
Wow the rodeo was incredible! I had never been and Cody has only gone ~6 times in his life.
The rodeo clown was hilarious pushing the boundaries, and the barrel racing and bucking broncos were my favorite. How do those guys not die!?! Seriously! I used to ride horses and man they sure do have something out for you.
Posted this pic for attire purposes only. Felt very in place with my cowgirl hat and boots!!
My fur niece Maya just had surgery recently and is now in the cone of shame. And my fur sis Sasha on the right is starting to feel better after her multiple seizure episodes.
This is 26!!! Bring it on! This will be the best year yet! I wasn't ready AT ALL to turn 26 but now that I am on the other side of the 20's it is all the same, I feel ready! I am loving 26 so far and all that it brings! Last year was surreal due to the quarter of a century thing and feeling and looking like I'm still 14. But mainly it meant a year closer to having kids, as does this birthday. Do I feel a year more ready to be a mom? No. But surely in 3 years that will change? Maybe?
With so much love,
