Birthday Week

After I posted earlier today, I realized I had more to share! This weekend was such a great weekend. Brian and I went to my parents’ for the weekend. It had been over 3 months since we were there last. Unfortunately, I think that I will be Thanksgiving before we are able to make it back again; with football season and everything else going on.

Saturday we only had one thing we needed to do this time (normally it seems like we are running round with our heads chopped off when we go to town). I needed to return a wedding present to William-Sonoma (one of my favorite stores). I always have a hard time picking out things from here due to I want everything that is there. This time around I let Brian picked out something he wanted. Here’s what he picked out. I cannot wait for him to use both!

I finally decided what I wanted to do for mine and Brian’s stockings. I’m following after my sister and cross-stitching them. I love hers so much that I just could not not do them for us! I’m ready to get started on them, but I need to finish the blanket I’m working on first. I’m hoping I can keep up the past I have on it over the past week, if so I’ll be done in 4 weeks. I doubt I’ll have the stockings finished for this year, but I know I’ll have them for next year.

Sunday we celebrated my birthday with my family. My parents each year give us a gift card(s) to where ever we choose. Normally I get one to a bookstore, but this year I went for Ann Taylor Loft. I almost went for William-Sonoma, but decided not to. Thankfully my sister came through and got me something from there! (Love that there is one in Huntsville now so she will get me things there now!) I’m excited about getting to try out the new fun pan she got me. Who wouldn’t love to have brownies shaped like a Hershey bar!!!
