Weekend Update!

I think this weekend it finally hit me that it is definitely tax season!  Because of the snow this past week, I am wayyyyy behind on my hours right now.  I know I'll make it up and then some in the next 2 months, but it had me a little stressed out on Friday and Saturday.  Anyway, moving on to the fun portion of the weekend.

Friday night, Patrick and I spent time with our friends Dennis and Casey.  I met Casey through the Junior Chamber, and we have become really good friends over the last 3 years.  I am so glad to have gotten to know her because she is so much fun to be around.  =)

Saturday morning, I was up EARLY so that I could make up some of those work hours I mentioned above.  Also, I had to leave work by 1:00 to head to this girls 1st Birthday Party:

As you can probably see by these pics, Miss Hannah had a great 1st Birthday.  She enjoyed an Elmo cake (which meant red icing all over her mouth, hands, and tummy), she opened LOTS of fun gifts, and she played with her friends.  My favorite pic of the day is this one:

This is what happens when a 1 year old is in desperate need of a nap.  =)

I must admit that after the party, Hannah wasn't the only one in need of a nap.  Patrick and I came back to my house and crashed for about 2-3 blissful hours.  Luckily, we woke up just in time to head to East Nashville to celebrate Mickey's birthday!  It was a fun night and I think Mickey had a great birthday!  It was great to get to spend time with all of our friends in one place.  That never seems to happen often enough anymore.

This morning, a wonderful thing happened.  I didn't get out of bed until 11:30!!!!!  It was AH-mazing!!!!!  I loved having time to catch up on some sleep and relaxation.  After finally pulling myself out of bed, the rest of the day was spent cleaning, grocery shopping, running, and making dessert for mine and Patrick's Valentine's Day dinner tomorrow night.

Oh, one more exciting thing from this weekend...today I had to run 4 miles and for the first time ever, I was able to run up a hill.  I know this isn't a huge accomplishment, but running up a hill has been a serious problem for me for a very long time!  And this afternoon, I beat that problem!  =)

Here's hoping each of you have a great week!
