Until next year!

I have to start this out by saying that 31 isn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be, well thus far. And I have officially survived week one...so I'm feeling pretty good about this! Also, this first week of 31 has been ah-mazing...I have pretty high expectations for the next 51 weeks but looking at my packed out calendar, I think there's a good chance this year is going to be better than 30! Just today, I purchased tickets to James Taylor's concert in May. I have a vacation planned in the next month (thank goodness!). I am thinking about a possible trip to Hawaii this summer. Things are looking pretty good...

I know I shared a little how the first part of my birthday week was spent. But the culmination of the birthday week was last night (and let me preface this by saying I have unbelievable friends!)

While most of the night (and pictures) shall remain confidential

(the theme was making thirty one a dirty one), I will say there was dancing, singing, serenading, laughing, and of course gluten free brownies! As you can see, we had a great night! I am so lucky to have such a great group of friends in my life!

One takeaway from the night to share... if you find yourself out at a karaoke spot one night, here are the top 3 (voted on by myself, my pal rachel, and hubbs will) songs that will automatically get full room participation:

1. Any NSYNC song- for example - Bye, Bye, Bye (complete with hand motions from the crowd)
2. Total Eclipse of the Heart (this one shut down the night)
3. Sweet Caroline (my personal fav and choice to perform!)

Anyone else have a favorite?

Also, I have got to give props to the couple who were the masterminds behind this night! They are two of my favorite people and I am convinced that they complete me... I mean really, this is love!
