Birthday Girl!

Today is Dani's birthday. I sent her a text early in the morning telling her Happy Birthday. Around 4 p.m. I had a yellow rose sent to her and then we got a group together and we took her out to Carabbas, the restaurant she chose. Below, Dani and Mary, Dani's roomie and best friend.

Me and Jay waiting to eat.

Dani opens her gift.

Remember, a few weeks back I found the western material on sale at Joanns? I used it to make this wall hanging since Dani's room is in western. I told her that if she didn't like it I didn't know what to do with it since she is the only Danette I know. If you look closely you can see some cowboy boots and cow heads that I quilted under her name.

After eating, I went shopping at Dilliards with Mary and Dani. They had their 100% wool coats on sale. This one was $170 originally, but on sale for $70. AAAHHHH I was so excited. I haven't had a new coat in forever. If you are in need of a coat, you might want to check out their sales.

My Birthday in Nashville

Getting older again - I arrived home on Thursday and this car was sitting right in front of our apartment. I couldn't find our other car in the parking lot. Jay rented this car for our trip to Nashville for my birthday. It had a bench seat!

This was one of my gifts from Jay. A quilting stencil in the shape of cowboy boots. So cute!

A Christmas tree made out of poinsettias.

Standing in front of the same fountain almost 2 years later, except this time married.

Our engaged picture :o) It's hilarious how much different we look.

Beautiful Delta Garden in the evening.

We watched the water show again. This time it was with a Christmas theme and the narrator read the Christmas story out of the Bible.


The lights outside the Opryland Hotel were so gorgeous. Someone meticulously lined each branch of these trees with white lights. Incredibly pretty.

Weekend for Birthdays

Okay, so it might look a little "disturbing" in this picture, but this stuffed Rainbow Trout was very yummy and not too fishy tasting. It was stuffed with crabmeat. Jason and I took Brent and Holley out for Brent's birthday. We took them to Mike Fink's and surprised them. They had never been there.

Brent and Holley chose a chocolate spoon cake for their dessert.

Holley and Brent (Cute couple!)Yesterday evening was their 2 year anniversary of dating. Wow!

Today Jason, Dani and I met Dad, Mom and Ally at the Golden Corral in Dayton. Of all the places, Dad wanted to eat, he chose Golden Corral. What a goofy guy! But he does LOVE their banana pudding.
