been a minute!

sorry for not updating the past few days! almost two weeks, where has time gone!?
well, yesterday (july 27th) was my birthday and i turned nineteen. kind of a weird age to turn haha, not that exciting ya know? i got a birthday package from my mom and dad the day before and they sent me a cookie mix (momma thought it was a cake mix haha...and you wonder where you get my blonde moments from? love you mom (; ) the movie 'leap year' (fave!), a book my momma made of all my bridal pictures, a game and of course some birthday hats and balloons and a card! ohh how i love my family <3 sure isn't the same without your family on your birthday, but i guess thats what i get for growing up /:

on my day of birth i made the cookies while justin was at work, and then justin and three of his buddies (was another kids birthday also) came and picked me up and we went swimming for a bit. me and just left early to come home and get ready cuz justin had made dinner reservations. we went out to dinner at a place downtown called Aposto with our friends bre and sid. the restaurant is actually in an old wine cellar so its pretty cool and i thought the dinner was delish! ordered spaghetti carbanara, yum! after dinner we walked around taking pictures downtown and then went over to the benbo's house to have cake that bre made for me and also got me a willow tree angel which i love and have been wanting to start collecting, so this is the start (: thank you dear!

my hubby got me the kim kardashian perfume and a leather jacket. love em! thank you just (:

today justin worked until about 3, since everyones pretty much gone on their leave he hasn't had to work too late, which has been nice and i don't want it to end! once he got home we went to the mall downtown and shopped for some new running/workout shoes. we both ended up getting the 'nike frees' and we LOVE em. we got home and made philli cheese steaks for din din and then went for a walk to test out our new shoes haha. came home and watched a movie and i made seven layer dip for us to snack on!
