The work week finally settled down (as well as the emotional aspects of family drama as well). I finally got my ring! I told Clark I should have a birthday weekend and he was totally okay with it! We wound up going to Outback for the start of my birthday weekend :) I ordered a 9 oz. Sirloin w/French Onion Soup and Garlic Mashed Potatos and of course, we ordered a Bloomin' Onion. It was delicious. It was also some of the best service we have had in quite a while at any restaurant. Such good service that Clark gave the waiter a 2-% tip for someone who ordered $90 when we only ordered $50.
We got home and were both in such a food coma, just plopped down on the couch for a while before I decided I was to exhausted to keep my eyes open. I went downstairs to take a shower and Clark took care of the boys before he came downstairs. We laughed for almost a whole hour watching our dorky dogs play fight, etc. It was a great night.

I started my morning off right, with an amazing facial. It was absolutely amazing and felt so good to have my face cleaned out with all the impurities. I came home to relax but instead decided to start working on a candle order. Finished the candle order, went to Moorpark to go to Michaels and Costco (we try an stay away from Oxnard's Costco, it is way to crowded), went on a walk with the doggies, then relaxed for the rest of the night :)

One more day until I am 24! I did a little nail therapy thenI went to my parents for my birthday lunch. We celebrated with my grandma, Lieve (a friend from Belguim), my parents and Clark. Ma made my favorite type of food there is... Milanese (meal-en-es-sa) LOL It is from Argentina. It is very thin strips of filet mignon, breaded and fried until it just melts in your mouth! My mom made filet mignon teriyaki for Clark and Ma and made a super good salad... It was delicious! I went home VERY VERY full! I don't remember doing anything else that day other than sitting on my butt!

Goodbye 23, hello 24. Every year on my birthday, my mom calls me at 2:23 p.m. to wish me a happy birthday because that was the time that I was born. She always tells me it isn't your birthday until 2:23. I woke up and did some laundry but mostly lazed around until Vanessa came over :) It was a surprise visit! We rarely see each other because our schedules are so busy, but she made time for me and it meant the world. She came over with some flowers and took me out to Ottavios for lunch :) IT was delicious! After, we came back to my place and watched About Time with Rachel McAdams and it was pretty good! Clark wound up coming home around 5:00 p.m. and we ordered Toppers, which was delish!
Around 7:00 p.m., Blake and Jess showed up to borrow Clark's truck and surprised me with a BEAUTIFUL pair of wedges... if you know me, you know I am a shoe freak! Plus seeing my nieces always makes my day! Jess even sent me a video clip of each girls in the morning wishing me a happy birthday! How stinking cute is that?
I got a lot of great gifts this weekend... my dad gave me a la-z boy chair (who needs a rocker when you have the most comfortable couch ever), my mom got me a huge ballon and so much more :), my grandma was (as always) overly generous with a check, Allie got me a g/c to Destination Maternity, etc. etc.! It was a great birthday. The best gift of all was that Clark gave me a 30 minute foot/calf massage... LOL The little things that make you so happy.
Clark has been absolutely wonderful with the pregnancy and there are times I feel so bad that I can't do as much as I could. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband :) He even wrote me one of the cutest text messages ever!
Here are some pics from my birthday :)

Anything making you queasy or sick: The smell of jerky makes me queasy... and doritos with nacho cheese (my poor husband can't eat his food ha
