Relive my birthday!

Hi everybody!

This weekend has been filled with happy reminders of my birthday celebration last year. This year I'll be 33 which happens to be my favorite number, but I have no plans on my birthday this year (Jan. 30th). Saturday, I wandered into Charming Charlie thinking back on the party I had there last year (read the post here). It was actually pretty exciting to walk thru and reminisce of all the love that night. I remember that I smiled and laughed so much that my cheeks ached. Thanks to all 50 of my friends for celebrating with me last year and the charming staff for accommodating us and several of my aunt's friends. One of the awesome sales associates who worked my party was there. I told her, "You probably don't remember me, but I had my birthday party here..." then she interrupted me with excitement, "I remember you! I remember you! I want to show you something." She went to the storeroom then came back with her phone. She said that I inspired her birthday party in July. She said, "You had the best party ever! We've never had a party like that before or since then." So then I took the liberty of proclaiming myself a Charming Charlie Legend *smile* She showed me this picture of her cupcake display to the upper right. How fabulous! After all the excitement over her chic display she asked what was it that I trying to ask her. LOL. I just wanted to thank her for helping to make my party so special.

Sunday, I took a spontaneous ride to Coffee Call for a cup of cafe au lait. I went through the drive-thru then decided to go inside to sit a while. I ran into a dear friend and her family as I entered the cafe. I felt like it was a divine appointment for me to be there then I saw a family celebrating the 40th birthday of a young man. The bakers created the number 40 out of beignet dough. Remember they made the number 32 for me last year. Oh, I was so excited for another reminder of my birthday. Read the post from last year here. As if that wasn't enough, today I checked my email to another amazing surprise and wonderful reminder of last year. The multi-talented Amy Locurto featured my party on her blog! Thank you, AMY!!! Amy is a wife, mother of two adorable children, blogger, photographer, stylist, and graphic designer. I used her Red & Black Damask Party Collection for my birthday party last year. I'm so happy that she liked how I used her collection that I could jump the moon right now.
