My birthday festivities began Friday the 16th. Brett was super duper sneaky, and planned a surprise party at his mom and dad's house in Walnut Creek. My parents were there along with the Harlows. I was so so surprised, i had no idea- but it was so fun to walk in the door and be surprised with them all singing and a yummy dinner and delicious dessert. And fun gifts!
Thanks family!
Then Saturday the 17th, Denae and I ran a 10k (post below) and that was just a fun adventure and we ate a delicious breakfast afterwards, that counts as a party in my book.
Making it to March 19 meant more then turning 23 this year. It also meant the end of my no-shopping challenge! I was soooo excited for this day to come :) And my husband spoiled me-he took me shopping! It's one thing for him just to let me go shopping by myself, with no baby, but another thing entirely for him to come along. I know it was a big sacrifice for him, and he even made it the whole shopping trip without saying "My eyes hurt."
(that's usually what he says the very second we walk into a clothing store)
It was so nice to spend the day with Brett, we had both grandma's watch Parker at some point in the day so we could shop- and then go out to dinner that night. Thanks grandmas! :)

My no shopping challenge was really good. It helped me like the clothes I had, and helped me find new ways to wear my clothes. And I noticed that I am a lot more cautious when I shop now, I think long and hard about each purchase and try to get more out of the clothes I have.My party weekend continued with dinner at Ruth's Christ steakhouse. Y-U-M
I could eat a steak from there every day. For every meal. Ok, to far- but really there steaks are to die for, so tender and perfectly cooked. It was a fantastic meal.
I absolutely love creme brulee- and Ruth's Chris creme brulee is amazing!!
Parker discovered his new favorite treat: trader joes chocolate cheerios. He loves them.
we enjoyed downtown danville this weekend too, just strolling the streets. Brett's idea! He even gave up March Madness games to stroll the streets!
I also got some new cloth diapers for Parker- we're liking them so far!
