The Big 3-1

My birthday was last week and I can thankfully report that after last year's temporary dread and despair for my birthday, I'm back to loving it again.  




Chris's birthday is 2 days before mine, so we had a fun week of celebrating. I was supposed to be in Orlando for a big client meeting on my actual birthday. I had already made peace with this unfortunate fact, but much to my surprise my boss told me 24 hours before the trip that I didn't have to go anymore. I quickly remedied my no-plans-for-my-actual- birthday by booking a blow out at Drybar and throwing together an impromptu little party at the rooftop bar at the Alamo Drafthouse. It was a fun night of great views, drinks, birthday hugs, and Cards Against Humanity. 


One of my good college friends got married in Austin on 8/13, so we continued the celebrating with a weekend getaway to that fantastic city. Highlights include: seeing besties, the original UCHI (our fave restaurant), Bananarchy, and getting impromptu foot massages at a random day spa. 


I used to make #goals for myself on my birthday, and I think it's time I revisited that fun little habit. Here are things I want to do when I'm 31...
  • Send more handwritten notes. ðŸ“¬
  • Watch the entire Gilmore Girls series before the new episodes on Netflix in November. (Currently on season 2, episode 8)
  • Have friends over for dinner at least 2 times a month. 
  • Blog at least a few times a month. 
  • Read more books. 
  • KonMari the shiz out of my life. 
  • Actually be hydrated. (I currently do nottt drink enough water and live my life in a state of perpetual dehydration). 
  • Continue to learn how to be the best wife I can be. #LerouxTimesTwo
  • Volunteer at my church
  • Wear more lip color. (This was my new year's resolution and it's been a good one, so I want to keep it uppp). ðŸ’„
  • Enjoy this year to the fullest. ðŸ˜„

Cheers to 31! 
(And BIG THANKS to everyone who helped me get through 30 and make it my most wonderful / life-changing year ever). 

xoxo, 

Annie.
