29th year.

i celebrated my 29th birthday on december 17th.

my friends & family made me feel so loved.

my fabulous cori treated me to a delicious birthday lunch 

at cafe sunflower & surprised me with my dad!

we also had two huge piece of cake. coconut & key lime pie.

my slim signed me up for an 8 week long

metalsmithing class at atlanta art worx.

starting in two weeks, it'll be every tuesday night for 

a few hours. i can't wait to use the blow torch 

& create lots of cool jewelry!

slim also got me this amazing brian andreas

wrist wrap. it tells a beautiful story about how life

seems crazy, but it's actually going along just perfectly!

we had a super dinner at west egg 

complete with chicken & waffles!

post dinner with my gorgeous brother-husbands.

(a few of) my beautiful, loving & generous friends.

i am welcoming the last year of my 20's with 

an open mind & with hopes of it being my best 

year yet. with a partner like slim & my folks & friends

by my side, how could it not be?!

west egg.

i just love west egg.

it's one of my all time favorite places to eat.

a few weeks ago we got a few pals together to

celebrate jared's 30th birthday!

slim & i celebrated our 3 year anniversary

2 weeks ago & except for the part where slim

got really sick, it was really a wonderful celebration.

slim made this amazing mason jar holder.

*i was all like omg! i love this,

you need to mass produce these....

momma needs more new bling.

**and by bling i mean stuff, material stuff.

***which i don't need, but really want.

i gave slim this super cute vintage fabric patagonia

fleece along with a custom "roam if you want to" print

showing our roots & college travels that eventually

brought us back to georgia & to each other...

and with the 3 year anniversary being the leather

year, slim gave me this amazing bracelet.

it's a lenny & eva creation.

slim was already feeling pretty bad that

afternoon but was a sport & took me to west egg.

we had purchased a scoutmob dinner deal & it was 

SO much food... wine, apps, dinner, desserts, boozy milkshakes.

i had the chicken & waffles which is to-die-for

and then, after we ordered a piece of righteous pie,

we got our salted caramel boozy milkshakes..

seriously so delicious.

i was full as a tick & finished the whole thing!

*the next two days, slim was home with a 

terrible flu-like illness....he's all better now!
