FINALLY 21!

Well it is official! I am 21!! April 26th Brie turned 21!

It was a complete and total Birthday weekend! It started Friday Evening when we both got home from work. We made BBQ Skewers! Fun FUN FUN I have never ever had skewers before so it was pretty exciting!

Then Saturday, We woke up SUPER early to get our hair cut! Both of us had a little hair cut treat! Unknown to me I was about to get more done to my hair than I had EXPECTED!

After my cut, Cory took me to Tipsy Salon (hahaha) to get my hair fixed. YES i said FIXED!

About 5 months ago i dyed my hair BLACK like totally BLACK! I am so sad i did it, and have been since it was done! i was told it was unfixable and I would have to wait for it to all grow out.

Well Cory did some research i guess and found a WONDERFUL colorist here in Boca that specializes in Color Repair.
SO Here I am sitting hoping that this will FIX the horrid black!


Well after spending about 5 hours at the salon with Chris and Cory, I went from a deep seriously DARK Black color to a tipped Black, with Deep Caramel highlited rich hair color! It is a process to go from black to normal Brown, but I am WELL on my way!

It was a very fun afternoon being pampered and spoiled! Cory was SUCH a HUGE trooper for hanging around all day being my moral support! I was VERY nervous!

SO on to the evening!

Cory and I LOVE the Food Network! We watch those BEST places to eat shows often! We enjoy them very much! WELL it just so happens that one of the BEST places to get some good MEAT is called Texas de Brazil and it happens to have a restaurant RIGHT here in MIAMI BEACH!!
It was the FUNNEST thing EVER! It is an All you can eat Steakhouse, BUT not all of it is STEAK they have EVERYTHING! lamb, Veal, Fillet Mignion, Pork, Chops, Ribs,ETC...

The Servers walk around with these GIANT spears with the meats on them. You flip the cards over and they SWARM your table ( LITERALLY). It is AMAZING! the food is so delicious it was a FABULOUS experience! It was wonderful fun, I am just so greatful that we had the ability to go to this fun place!

Here are some more DINNER pictures. We were sitting right at the window overlooking the yachts right next to STAR ISLAND! ( mentioned many times on CSI Miami) It is a real place!



So that was All about Friday and Saturday! Now onto my ACTUAL birthday day!

Woke up early for church! Went to church! Had a terriffic spiritual experience and met a few new members of the ward, also set up some home teaching appts for this next week! Very productive church day!

Came home! opened some of the presents Cory got me! ON TOP of all of the fun Sat, He went to IKEA and purchased me some AWESOME kitchen organizing tools! It was such an AWESOME and THOUGHTFUL bunch of gifts!

Then we made my FAV Birthday meal Lasagna, Salad with some chicken, and French Bread! It was FANTABULOUS! Chatted with my Mom, Dad and Uncle Greg! It was such a GREAT dinner!

Next it was onto the CAKE! mmmm... YUMMY custom ordered cake!

Here are some pictures!





As you can see our silly Kitty had to JOIN in all of the FUN! She has sort of taken over the table and thinks it is hers, SO when we are doing anything at the table she MUST be involved!

It was an AMAZING birthday one that I won't forget at all! I am now 21 and there is NO turning back! Not that I would want to, seeing as how I am MARRIED to the BEST GUY! I am so blessed to have such a WONDERFUL Mom and Dad, as well as a WONDERFUL Family of In- Laws! EVERYONE is Wonderful and I am LUCKY to have you guys! Thanks for the Love and the SUPPORT!
