Month Long Celebration

I absolutely love birthdays. I think that you should get to celebrate it as along as possible. I know that as we are getting older, birthdays do not seem as fun, but I still think they are great! That is why I wanted to make sure Keith was able to celebrate all month long! Lucky for him, one of my very good friends Andrea's birthday is also this month, so we decided we MUST celebrate together. This year wasn't just any birthday though, they were getting to celebrate their 30th birthday's together! I know that neither of them were as excited as I was, but I think they both ended up enjoying it.

To begin with, my family has always had this thing that during your birthday month, you are allowed to choose, or not choose, in Keith's instance what we do all month long. Pretty much, if we go out to eat, you get to decide where, if you are trying to plan something for the weekend, the birthdayee gets to plan. However, in Keith's eyes, he decided since it was his month, he didn't have to decide a thing. That is quite annoying if you know me, because more times than not, I really don't care where we eat because I will get the same thing everywhere. (Chicken Strips or Hot dogs and Macaroni). Anyways, I planned with Keith's parents to meet in Oklahoma City for his actual birthday weekend. Keith and I left a day early, stopped in Dallas and met up with our friends Brent and Colton and then golfed the next morning. Keith picked the course and we actually both played well and enjoyed the beautiful weather. We headed into Oklahoma that afternoon and were able to spend some quality time with his parents.

I wasn't being mean by posting this picture, Keith knows he was making this face :)

In Oklahoma City, we hit up a Piano Bar, a Minor League Red Hawks Baseball game, and another round of golf. It was very windy when we were playing, but just an easy excuse for my score. I love going to Oklahoma City during Basketball season, because the fans there are so proud of their Thunder team. They always have so much pride around the streets and great food and drink deals!

 

 

We headed back for another work week until Thursday came along. Because of Mardi Gras break being when most people's Spring Break is, we always have a late "Spring/Easter Break". Ours happened to be this last weekend and it worked out perfectly. Keith and I headed down to Pensacola Beach (Perdido City) to be exact and met up with some more good friends Oliver and Andrea.  We spent Thursday-Monday enjoying some great beach time, and the boys managed to find a very nice golf course to play that included alligators!! (Not on purpose of course)

In Pensacola, we made an Easter Dinner, hit up a famous bar called the Flora-Bama, and made it into Pensacola to eat at a well-known Irish Pub. We played lots of cards and just talked about everything that has been going on. It was a perfect view and a great way to celebrate Keith and Andrea's 30th birthdays.

 

 

 

As this month is coming to an end. I believe that Keith is excited for it to be over. But, I also believe he had a great time celebrating all month. I am so glad we were able to see so many people and enjoy the time celebrating together. I am excited for next year already, but much more to come before then!
