Birthday Month! Part I

Now that its officially not March anymore, I guess it's time to blog about all the March happenings! March is a busy month in the Watson home because Ethan and I are both March babies! However, this year, Easter and lots of homework also squeezed their way into this month, so there was a lot going on.

Ethan's brother and mom also have March birthdays, and we were able to stop by and bring Ian some cupcakes that were American history/war themed for his birthday... so fun!! And they turned out great!!

The weekend before my birthday, Ethan and I went to get good Mexican food and drank some virgin frozen drinks to celebrate, yum!!

And I got the pair of Nikes I've been eyeing in the mail from my mom!

March 9th was my birthday, and I have to say, it was one of the best. Every year, I do something fun and exciting for my birthday, but this year, Ethan insisted on planning everything himself. I have to admit, I was pretty skeptical because I tend to be let down by my high expectations, but not this year. Ethan hit the ball out of the park and made me feel incredibly special. Since my birthday was smack dab in the middle of the week, I slept in a little and went to work. I work in the Advertising and Marketing office on campus, so my co-workers put a happy birthday wish on the monitors that play advertisements around school, so fun! They also brought me other treats, and it was very thoughtful.

While I was at work, a cake-shaped flower arrangement was delivered from my sweet brother, Alec.

 


After work, Ethan and I went straight to our ballroom dance class. We were both exhausted and anxious to get home, but Ethan suggested we finish the class. Little did I know he had arranged for my friends to arrive at our house during dance class to surprise me.




We sat in the car after class as Ethan told me his 22 favorite things about me, then we drove home. I opened our door to some of my best friends and Taylor Swift's "22" playing along with everything in our home turned pink. It was seriously a dream; a princess worthy birthday party for sure.

Sorry for the low quality pictures, but I'll let them speak for themselves. It was a dream. All the heart eyes over there!

Ethan also spoiled me with some sweet gifts and my favorite gift: The Ninja Blender complete set! I am so happy to have it because it worked wonders!!

Thank you to my sweet love for working so hard to make this such a wonderful surprise!!

Major husband props right there! Thanks for making 22 feel like everything I dreamed it would be!
