Happy Birthday, Mrs. Tuck!

We celebrated bart's sweet mommy's birthday on Monday night! Bart so kindly treated us to Miyabi's (super yummy food!)and we had a splendid time together :).

Bart's mom is a pro with chopsticks. She ate her salad and her rice with them! I'm such an amateur that I decided to save myself the headaches and stick with my fork .

Bart and I sat under the spotlight which totally washed our skin tones out for the picture. oops! We had a fun time joking with the couple next two us who were also celebrating a birthday!



The birthday girl, enjoying her special night out!

Our sweet chef stuck a cute candle in her "rice cake" and she blew it out (and made a wish of course). It was so darling! If you look closely you can still see the smoke moving off the rice cake.

We had such a fabulous evening- Happy Birthday, Mrs Tuck!!

Birthday Surprises!

I got lots and lots of sweet goodies for my birthday this year!

My mom got me a super cute polka dotted laptop case and an adorable black jelly watch! ( I would have snapped some pictures, but I'm just not feeling that adventurous quite yet ..)

My watch looks similarly to this one- I can't wait to wear it!

My sister, Grace, bought me a bag just like this one, except it's in a metallic brown color:

I'm really psyched to carry it around once I'm feeling better ;).

My other sister, Meredith, bought me the new Aerie fragrance. It smells so sweet and light. I've even starting wearing it while I'm recovering!

The best birthday gift is that my darling is going to come keep me company while I'm healing. We're planning on watching the Time Traveler's Wife and just chilling out for the day. To me, that is the best birthday gift I could ever ask for.

This birthday has definitely been unique compared to my other ones, but memorable nonetheless. I am grateful for another year of life, and I can't wait to celebrate what next year will hold.

Birthday Party!

Friday night I celebrated my 19th birthday with my extended family. We had a fun night enjoying each other's company. Here are a few snap shots from the night:

Andrew and Claire having fun on the piano.

Michael feeding his dogs.


goofing off. (notice the tongue! )


Bart surprised me with lots of products in my favorite scent : Secret Wonderland. Ironically, I'd not told him it was my favorite! He's such a mind reader =). Needless to say, I'm wearing my new lotion and burning my new candle. yum!

Bestfriend(s) Birthday!

Today is a super special day because I'm helping 3 loved ones celebrate birthdays!

Kila, my sweet friend from school.
Kila is always to sweet and encouraging- a true joy to be around!




Granny, my boyfriend's darling grandmother.
Granny is super fit (in her mid eighties), and one of the cutest, funniest little ladies I know.


Haley, my amazing bff from High School.
Haley is crazy and incredibly entertaining ;-). She is sweet as well..

I'm so lucky to have each of you in my life!
I love each one of you dearly.
May God bless you immensely!

it's quite amazing to watch. you're so intelligent,
optimistic, and such a joy to be around!
no matter if we're just taking a walk together, riding
on a roller coaster or watching a movie together, just
being with you makes my entire year.
we have so many good memories and i can't wait to build many,
many more with you. You are such a gift!
I hope you have a wonderful nineteenth birthday and year.
