a birthday weekend

This past weekend was filled with a lot of birthday love. My friends put together a sweet little surprise party. I was floored! Charlie of course was the life of the party! On Saturday my girlfriends drug me out of my comfort zone (painted finger nails, hair sprayed hair, heels & a trendy hot spot) for a tiny outing. No joke we stayed out maybe an hour. I was really tired and the bathroom lines were redic. It was just nice getting some "girl time" in. This weekend was filled with so much love. I'm very blessed!   

The plates and cups were left over from my baby shower that my best friend (and Charlie's god-mom) threw for me!! 

Charlie and Ringo are best friends 

One of my greatest buds (Tina) is finishing her art degree and she painted me these for my
birthday! I love these kind of presents. I'm so proud of her and all she's accomplished!

french bulldogs

If you know me, you know how much I love french bulldogs. I am obsessed with french bulldogs (along with chocolate labs, pigs, baby wild cats, penguins, etc.). French bulldogs aren't too big so they're easy to fit in the car, traveling, and in smaller places (like a one bedroom apartment) unlike a chocolate lab. Yes, I know dogs should have a yard and a large place to live but that doesn't stop me from wanting one. I'm told Charlie is enough right now and that getting a puppy might be too overwhelming with a almost walking one year old but that doesn't stop my obsession. I asked "Santa" for one. I'd like a frenchie or something with an opal but I'd prefer the puppy. I even have a name picked out. Which is pretty amazing considering I have the hardest time picking out a name for a child. *fingers crossed*
