100th Post Just in Time

If any of you remember my older posts on my 23 before I am 23, there was a challenge to reach 100 blog postings. Well here is number 100, just in time for my 23rd birthday today!

I was pretty nervous about how my birthday was going to go down this year. Amazingly and thanks to Alex's birthday gift to me I am spending my birthday with two of my favorite people: Stephanie and Kendal.

Last night we hit up a sports bar and discovered the SOS- which we had 4 of. And $2 Margaritas, $5 pictures and what happens when you are with three navy boys who love Jack and Coke.

Naturally last nights events have hindered today's events. We are running a bit behind but have every intention to go wine tasting in St. Augustine before Kendal and I have to catch our flights back to our respective locations. (ugh). So dreading work tomorrow morning.

I will write a detailed blog about my trip later this week, but right now I am going to eat a birthday breakfast!

I might need some bribes to get me on the plane tomorrow.

Florida Bound

After work today I am headed down to Florida to spend a wonderful Birthday weekend with Stephanie and Kendal. I am beyond excited and could not ask for a better way to celebrate my 23rd birthday. (Thanks Alex!) I still have a few posts to do to reach my 100th posting so I will make sure to post a few blogs in the next few days to reach that 100th post before the big day.

I will not finish my 23 wishes...too much to do, too little time. And I also owe this a posting about my weekend in Annapolis and my shopping spree to buy some many needed clothes!

Bon Voyage DC! I'll see you next week!

I am writing about my houseplant...oh no.

Our friends Dave and Kym gave us this darling little (yes it was little and cute) house plant as a thank you for watching their two cats while they vacationed to England the end of last year. I have never really had my own house plant so I am kind of surprised that it is still alive. I moved the plant to our sunroom once it got above freezing so it could see some actual sunlight. And what did I do....I created a monster plant! It gets bigger everyday! I feel kind of bad because I know I need to replant it since I know the bowl it is in is probably full of roots now. It really is a pretty plant. It finally started to grow some...blossoms (I don't know what they are) but they are very interesting.I also have been reading how plants can help keep the air clean in your living space so I am glad to have the little guy around.

Here's some photos of my green friend:

Mother's Day Craftyness

Trying to be resourceful and find a gift that was meaningful and not expensive I got to idea to make my mom a mini scrapbook highlighting her trip to DC with her friend Victoria to visit myself and Ben. I first bought a mini accordion book making kit from papersource (Love!) some beautiful spring time paper, ribbon, and then printed out mini pictures from her trip at Target. I also stumbled upon some beautiful sparkle letters to add into my creation. Below is my final product

Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the book folded up. The paper really is beautiful and the book was really fun to make!
