This past Thursday, March 18th, I celebrated my 27th birthday! The day was filled with sweet cards, phone calls, texts, messages from amazing friends, and the sweet day with my Brantley Boo! This day was also filled with some other surprises as well.....I woke  up Thursday morning to my sweet hubby telling me bye and singing "Happy Birthday" to me as he headed off to work. I got out of bed, headed to the bathroom (as I am sure is everyone's first stop in the morning) and on my way saw a sweet sign on the mirror from my husband wishing me a Happy Birthday along with some Monopoly money. I thought to myself, "Aww..he is so sweet. I sure do wish that money was real." I then headed to the kitchen to make Brantley's bottle before getting her out of bed and what should I see on the kitchen counter waiting for me????? A CHICK-FIL-A BISCUIT!!!! My husband had gotten up extra early to go get me my favorite breakfast biscuit! I then noticed three cards sitting on the kitchen counter. So, as I gave B her bottle I read each of them. The first was a card from Sadie, then a sweet card from my daughter with her hand outline, and then finally a card from my sweet husband. Inside this card he had written me a poem. Now, I am not going to share the poem, but it basically told me that my mom was coming to watch Brantley for the weekend (which I had been told earlier that she was coming to spend the weekend with me!) and he and I were headed to Charlotte to go shopping (hence, the monoply money that would be converted into real money that I could spend), eating, and whatever else I wanted to do! I was thrilled!! Now, this was the first time that I was leaving Brantley over night, so of course there was a slight sadness that lasted oh... about a minute....and then I realized that she would be with my mom and I was filled with excitement!!!!!!! A whole day and a half to spend with my awesome husband!!!!

We left early Friday morning and headed straight to Concord Mills. Now, this man went in every single store that I wanted to go in, helped me pick out clothes, gave me his opinion on how they looked and even encouraged me to get other things.......AWESOME!!! We then got to eat where I wanted to eat!!!! He also made reservations at the incredible Renaissance hotel with a king bed and got us free breakfast there!!! We were walking distance from Southpark mall which is home to the marvelous Cheesecake Factory. So, after strolling around Southpark we made our way to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner.
And if that wasn't enough, we then got up on Saturday and he said, "okay, so what would you like to do today?" we did a little more shopping and enjoying the beautiful weather before heading home.

Now....can we say....INCREDIBLE!!!! There isn't a day that goes by that I am not reminded of how blessed I am to have Eric has my husband, but this my friends, was just pure goodness! On the way home today I couldn't stop telling him thank you! Yes, the shopping was great, the food was wonderful, and I have to admit that not having to worry about feeding and nap times was an added bonus, but the time that I got to spend with my best friend was priceless!

Thank you Eric! I love you to the moon and back!
