Dec. 5th marked 27 years in life of Shannon. It was a great birthday thanks to my wonderful husband.
(This is random...but stick with me...The other night Jeremy and I were laying in bed talking and I was thinking that really each year we shouldn't call it your birthday. Your actual birthday was the day your mother birthed you. Each year we really just commemorate that day...your actual BIRTHday. Why do we call it a birthday every year? Shouldn't it be more of an anniversary of a date? So really it is a birth-iversary. Ok I know I'm being silly...that's what happens when you are sleep deprieved. )
Friday I was treated with lunch from Bojangles and a whole afternoon with my husband. He took the afternoon off just to be with me. :)
We were blessed to have a free babysitter (Mom and Dad) for the afternoon and night so we could go out just by ourselves. Unbeknownst to us, my parents took the opportunity to go get pictures taken of Owen. Mom had a Christmas outfit for him so they redressed him and took him to have pictures done at Sears. The pictures turned out ok but they picked a cheesy collage for them. See for yourself...
Once we dropped Owen off, we headed to Raleigh where I got a haircut (yay! I love haircut days!) then did a little shopping. We then went out to eat at Rio Churrascaria, a Brazilian steakhouse, and it was wonderful! I left with a meat hangover. We finished off the night with a new peppermint chocolate milkshake from Chick-fil-a.
As for gifts, I received a beautiful set of pearl earrings from Owen, a new bedding set from Jeremy (thanks to Linen N Things going out of business he got an amazing deal), and pearl earrings and curtains from my family. Luckily the pearl sets are 2 different colors.
It was a great day and I'm now 27. For some reason 27 just sounds older. It's scary to think I'm only 3 years away from 30! So crazy! Where is the time going?
