A Day in the Life of a Birthday Girl

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes!!  I had a wonderful day yesterday!  

What’s a day in the life of a birthday girl look like??

First thing, I woke up to some beautiful flowers and a sweet card from Luvy.  

He is too good to me.  :)

I took my flowers to the kitchen and read my daily devotional on Prayer that I do with SheReadsTruth. (Have I told you all how much I love that study??)  

Then, Luvy took time out of his office and writing to have breakfast with me.  I made us both a big bowl of oats.

Luvy had to run into work, so I jumped into workout clothes.  I shook up some Fitmixer aminos and did a great, sweaty lower body workout on YouTube.  I’ll have to share some of my favorite workouts here soon!

I got to talk to a few friends and family members yesterday morning also.  

That afternoon, I got to hang out with my friend Cherie for an hour or so before getting ready for my big date.  I forgot to take a picture, but lets just say… I was in orange and she was in blue.  Yet, we are still friends.  :)

I came home and got dressed, because Luvy was taking me out!!

He took me to one of my absolute favorite places… Bonefish!!

That is our go to place to celebrate anything!!  :)  I love how they wrote “Happy Birthday Brittany” on the specials!  They made sure to make my time there very special.

Luvy got the shrimp and scallops, and I got the salmon salad.

Both were amazing.  After dinner, our waiter suprised me with a fruit cup!!  Since I can’t have dairy or gluten, they didn’t have any other desserts I could eat.  I thought that was so thoughtful!

I didn’t mind not having a dessert there, because I had a very special cupcake waiting on me at home.

Remember the cupcakes that were given to me at the gluten free fair??  

They were amazing!!  

Luvy even sang me Happy Birthday so I could blow out my candle.  :)

When Luvy was eating his he said, “This is gluten free?!?!”.  I have a feeling that Deliciously Free will be bought again and again here!

Thanks again for all your birthday wishes!

Now, I have to get back to work…. real life is calling.

How was your Monday?

What are you looking forward to this week?

Co-Host For a Day

Morning guys!  

Since I have made you guys wait all week for this… I was being videotaped by my friend Joshua last weekend BECAUSE…

I sent in a video to apply to be Kelly’s Co-Host for a day!!  lol… I’m serious!

When I saw that Live with Kelly was doing a Coast to Coast Co-Host search, I KNEW I wanted to apply.  I love Live with Kelly… it’s on now… and I LOVE Kelly Ripa.  Not is a creepy stalkerish way…  I watch the show every morning.  It is my sanity.  She is like my cup of coffee for the day!

Anywho, if I make it to the 100 finalists, I will need y’alls help to get everyone you know to vote for me!!  Mmmmkay??  This weekend if I can figure out how to upload a video, I’ll put it on here for y’all to see.  I have no pride left…  :)

Let’s just hope Live with Kelly loves my southern accent as much as Luvy does!

In other news, Luvy and I went out to eat last night with our sweet friend Jenna at Outback!  

Jenna house sits for us when we got out of town, so we wanted to treat her last night.  It was so wonderful catching up with her!!

Isn’t she a beauty??  She’s single guys….  ;)

This weekend, I am going to be working hard on school work and getting everything ready for next week.  What’s next week you ask??

Daddy is coming to visit!  :)

So, please excuse me if I’m a little MIA this weekend.

What do you all have going on this weekend?

Does anyone else watch Live with Kelly every morning?

Eat for Missions

I love my church family!  Luvy and I haven’t gotten to go out to eat with them much lately due to my food allergies and tummy problems.  I’ll be sharing more about with you all here soon.

Monday night, Aspen Creek hosted a fundraiser for our church if you ate there and gave them a flyer for our church.  They donated 10% of the total bill to our church and that money goes towards missions.  I’ll go out to eat to support missions anytime!!  

I was so excited when I looked at the menu and saw that they had salmon, because that meant I could eat there!  I was pleasantly surprised that I could eat here, because I can’t eat at Applebee’s or O’Charley’s and this restaurant is sort of like them.

We went with a few of our college students plus Chris and Jennifer and their 3 sweet boys!

Chris co-teaches our college student’s Sunday School with Luvy and Jen is our church’s children’s director!  

The food was great.  I got salmon and steamed broccoli.  They didn’t have any other sides that were dairy and gluten free, but I didn’t mind!

Luvy got some chicken dish and it looked AMAZING!  I was wishing I liked chicken…

The company was even better than the food though!  I loved spending time with everyone.

These boys hold the keys to my heart though….

and the bad part is that they know it!

These kids make my day!

I hope you all are having a fantastic week.  Just think… tomorrow is FRIDAY!  

I have a 3 hour seminar to sit through tomorrow… who wants to join me on twitter and instagram from 9-12 EST??  ;)  

What are you all looking forward to this weekend?

What restaurant have you been pleasantly surprised by lately?
