Yesterday was a milestone birthday for one of my most favorite ladies in the entire world. We have been buds since my freshman year of college and were pledge sisters in our sorority. We have been in each other's weddings, watched each other's babies come into this world, made some crazy traveling memories {most recently, our Vegas trip}, laughed and cried together and most importantly have been by each other's side through our most trying moments. I consider her more of my sister than my friend. So, this post is dedicated to her. I am so lucky to have shared your birthday with you, and for those who know the story...she likes to party like it's 1998!
Before dinner I had the Hubs snap up a few pictures of my outfit. Okay, I must say, this was total AWKWARDNESS!!! If you have been reading my blog, you know that most of my outfit posts are taken in the comfort of my backyard. WOW! I give props to you ladies that go out and shoot pictures in public. I am not a shy or introverted girl, but I felt like a HUGE DORK posing on the sidewalk in downtown Austin. People were seriously staring and giving us the, "you are so shallow for taking all these pictures of yourself look." All I wanted to do was shout out, "This is for my blog, people!!" Oh well, at the end of the day, who really cares, but I will say again, big high fives for all of you that do this all the time...I think I am going to head back to my little piece of privacy.

Can you tell that I look a little nervous in the pictures? Through my super fake smile, I was telling the hubs to hurry up and keep snapping! God love him for putting up with me. I know most of us bloggers depend on our devoted {and annoyed at times} better halves to be the men behind the scenes! Let's all go home tonight and tell them that they have been promoted to co-producer. Do you think they would accept or decline the offer?
Cheers to birthdays, backyards and better halves!
