H54F: Birthday, a Birthday, and Another Birthday

August. Where on God’s green earth did you come from? How is it possible that it is already August? I could have sworn that we just finished celebrating my birthday in June. The next two weeks are going to be crazy for the rest of my life. I have a grand total of three birthdays of people I care deeply about. Me being me, I have to send cards and maybe even a gift. Sometimes the gifts don’t get there in time, but I still try to send something out to them. Per usual, I’m linking up with Lauren Elizabeth and I’m taking a look back at this week and thinking about what needs to happen this weekend.

1. Taylor’s birthday was yesterday. I wrote a whole blog post for him and a card is on its way to him. He was spoiled by his soon to be wife and that makes me happy.

2. Yesterday also marked the day when I get to use my Day Designer. A lot of people see my excitement about using a day planner. I have been waiting to use this baby for about a month and a half back when Myke got it for me for my birthday. So my countdown has ended and I’m so excited to be more organized. #nerd

3. Shannon’s birthday is tomorrow. Shannon is my BF4L, best friend for life. We met when we were in the nursery and then went to preschool together, went to high school together and almost went to college together. We were in each other’s weddings and I can’t wait to see what this year has in store for her. She has accomplished so much in the past year, she graduated from grad school, and is now a doctor. Happy Birthday Dr. Shannon, I’m going to call you that from now on. I love you dearly. But I miss you more.

4. For the most glorious birthday of all. MYKE. The husband turns 25 next week. It’s such a big deal it needs to be mentioned at least a week in advance. Plus we are hoping to do a mini vacation out of LA. We don’t know if that will happen or not, but either way that requires planning ahead of time.

5. Can I just be excited for the simple fact that it’s Friday? I’m trying to do more celebrating of the simple things in life and I like the idea that it’s Friday and I get to have a night with the husband and friends. We will be viewing Guardians of the Galaxy and we have been looking forward to this movie since we first heard about it a year ago, so we’re only a little excited.

Have a beautiful weekend! I hope you all have a great one and go see a fun movie!
