I was SO excited (as lame as it is) that my birthday fell on 10-10-10 this year. Seriously? How neat! In honor of birthday the beau took me on a SUPRISE trip to CHICAGO! In.freaking.credible.
We had an amazing time exploring the city, shopping and eating (haha)! Here are some highlights, in pictures, of course.
Loved that 10.10.10 was EVERYWHERE!

A piece of pumpkin cheesecake back at home to celebrate... after a weekend full of celebrating!
My birthday celebration could not have been more perfect. The last year has been challenging but wonderful. I have learned about myself and learned some important life lessons. I have never been one to take for granite my family nor genuine friendship; this year I have somehow developed even more of an appreciation for those close to me. I am a very blessed young (hey, 26 is still young, right?) lady. I couldn't ask for anything more. Cheers to 26- I am excited to see what's in store!
P.S. In addition to an INCREDIBLE getaway... The beau and my mom got me a PUPPY! More to come. :)
