First off, we had our first Acorn Squash of the season last night! I made it up Italian style with buffalo meat for J and beans for me. Josh had a side of pineapple (I stole a piece) and I had a side of cantaloupe:
Thank you all so much for the wonderful birthday wishes! My day so far has been fabulous!!! I started off with an 6 mile run:
Hung out with my favorite bulldog (Chewing on his new toy courtesy of Josh’s Mom):
Got my first pumpkin spiced misto of the season
Got a pedicure
and went to Liberty for a birthday lunch with my parents. I got the fruit and goat cheese salad (so so good):
I’ve also received some fabulous gifts that I must share with you. Bulldog PJ pants from my friend Mandi:
An awesome watermelon bowl from my Aunt & Uncle (I’m obsessed with fruit shaped plates and bowls):
Lots of goodies from my MIL including TJs Peanut Flour! I can’t wait to make pancakes a la Julie!!
I got lots of new Vera too including this cute bag (from my Mom) and matching wallet (from my adorable sister in law, Jenny). Great minds think alike on the pattern!!
The rest of the day? Up in the air! Josh is getting out of work early and we’re going to do dinner or something downtown. Maybe some Fresh Berry!!

I'm loving the bulldog attire, as well as that bowl! OMG! I have plates that are cut up/look like a big pizza - they're my favorite!!
Definitely go for Fresh Berry :-)
I love the Vera Bradley pattern! I was considering that one (I wanted the large duffel for my hospital bag and didn't want to get the same pattern I already have) but I decided to get another, can't think of the name but it's black with yellow birds.
How fun! I love the PJs and the bowl, and REALLY love the bags! You always look so naturally happy and excited in your pics; they make me smile
Happy birthday, hon!

Happy birthday!! Sounds like you had a wonderful day. Hope the weekend is just as well.
Well Happy Birthday! Great gifts. The squash looks delish.
Your bull dog is so cute. His/her name?
I have a German Shepherd named Shane. There's a bull dog down the road and when the BD is loose and we walk past, he tries to run (because, well... a bull dog can only try to run) to the road barking to scare us off. Shane is just too funny because he's not sure what to make of it. I'm sure he's thinking
"This guy is short, doesn't move quick enough for me to want to chase, .... is that a bark???"
It's fun to see. The bull dog can run right underneath Shane. :)
Such a fun birthday! :)
I love that bowl and the bags! Their new prints are so cute.
Glad you had a nice birthday! I love the watermelon bowl. Wish I could celebrate with you! Enjoy your weekend! Happy Birthday my friend!
