:::Boy, did this weekend deliver:::
I had such an awesome time with family and friends! On Friday my little brother and his GF came up to visit from Richmond. They will both be seniors this coming fall at VCU. We made dinner, caught up, had a Wii dance off/bowl off then played a card game. Not to brag or anything, but they let me win I won all three! Saturday we woke up, hand breakfast and the girls went to get pedicures while the boys went out to grab last minute items for my birthday BBQ. Everyone started to show up around 3. We ate, played Apples to Apples (SUCH a fun game!) and had a bon fire outside until 3 am. I really hope our neighbors don't hate us, but we had a blast.
Yesterday Hubs, my friend Kelly and her BF and I went out to brunch in a little historic town by us and walked around a little bit. When we came home, Hubs and I relaxed- hard. We watched the entire first season of Breaking Bad. Yes, that means we watched 7 episodes in one day. Have to admit- it's interesting!
This week I'm committing to at least three two a day workouts. I have a girl’s beach weekend coming up this weekend! Can't wait to spend a whole three day weekend with my girls living it up!
It's been a while since I've done a 101 list update so I thought I'd catch up:
5. Send an email or letter three times complementing a job well done at work (2/3)
Last week, I sent an email to a fellow employee thanking him for his great partnership and copied his boss.

25. Create “pre- engagement” photo book of hubs and I (2007-2010)
Hubs actually created volume 1 of our True Love Story for our one year anniversary. He is so sweet and romantic! I lost it! He wrote the first half of the book which included our story from the day we met through our wedding day. He used my blog story of our wedding as my contribution. SO sweet!!!
