Today is my birthday!

So today is my 25th birthday!  I know I can hardly believe it myself.  Almost a year ago when Jarrid's family came to visit for a Panther's football game, Tyler, Jarrid's nephew had one of the most famous quotes in our family.  He turned to my mom and asked her how old I was.  My mom told him that I was 24 and he looked at her and said, "Oh she and Uncle Jarrid will be married by the time she is 25."  Now Tyler was only 6 years old at the time! And he was almost spot on.  Next year this time  I will be 18 days away from marrying Jarrid. Never have I ever looked forward to a birthday more than I am looking forward to my 26th! 

This weekend was full of surprises and celebrations planned by Jarrid and Meghan.  They really know how to make me feel special! On Friday night Jarrid and Meghan surprised me with a birthday party at Freedom Park.  It was Movies in the Park night so we had appetizers and cake and then settled in for the movie.  About 15 minutes into the movie it started to rain.  We all got absolutely soaked but it was such a blast!  Thanks to everyone that came to celebrate: Meghan, Jarrid, Will, Jamie-Lynn, Chandra, Katie, Andy, Sara, Ryan, Mike, Patrick, Julie, and Ryan.  Love you guys!

On Saturday Jarrid and I had an awesome night at Pinehurst!  We had massages, an amazing dinner and dessert, and then the next day we went for a run, rode bikes and hung out by the pool.  Last night we topped it all off with a movie!  What a great birthday weekend!
