I'm so excited!!!!!!

I'm excited.... totally pumped about several upcoming things....

We're about to go into the month of April (which is crazy to me how quickly the year is going by...) I don't have much planned as of now for April, but after April is May and well May is my favorite month EVER!

May has always been my favorite time probably because well my birthday falls in May and anyone who has known me for a long time and knows my family knows that it wasn't birthday weekend for Emily, it was always birthday MONTH! My mom was like that with her birthday and just carried it over to me and well NO COMPLAINTS! THANKS MOM!

SO this may marks my quarter of a century celebration and I am so excited. Last year i didn't celebrate with friends. I was having a rough year so instead my brother and I went to see my mom that weekend ( my birthday is always mother's day weekend... this year it is mother's day). I'm glad we did it. We had a blast! We had a fancy dinner, drank great wine, my mom cooked a meal i wanted.... drank more great wine, played card games, went to an art festival and i got to have my last moments with my grandma. When I got back my dad and stepmom took me to a nice dinner at Churrassco's.

This year I'm resorting back to my old habits of celebrating life.... it just so happens many opportunities came my way the month of may and i am just using them as more of a way to celebrate the life i have lived and the excitement of whats to come.

The first weekend in May is the warrior dash up in Dallas. I'm STOKED! Not only am I stoked to do it but the whole weekend with my friends is super exciting for me. I plan to go up early and spend some much needed time with my girlfriend Toneisha. We haven't gotten to just hang out the two of us in a very very long time so we are both looking forward to having a little adventure like we used too. Lots of photos and probably lots of shopping!

I'm also going to spend time with and race with my old friends Braden and Brandon. It's always good times with those boys. My close friend Morgan will be running the dash with me on Sunday! I can't wait to see her as well! It will be a nice way to 1) see friends 2) have new memories and 3) start my bday celebration accomplishing my goal of the warrior dash

The following weekend is my actual birthday. Not sure if I will do anything that weekend as I don't want to compete with what people have going on. I wish i could fly to Atlanta for my cousin's graduation.... maybe

The next weekend its ON! I've been on this Ketosis diet for awhile so bday weekend is my first time off.... time for cake and time for some champagne! I plan to have brunch with close friends out on a patio somewhere, hang by the pool in my bikini all day and then dance all night with friends! no set plans just yet but that's the idea. Plus Michelle will be here so even if we did nothing, we'll have a blast!

Fast forward 2 weeks from that. I'll be boarding a plane with my oldest friend Kristin... headed to Miami to take a cruise with her family to the Bahamas...... We'll be celebrating both of us turning 25 and her graduating college! I started looking at excursions, spa treatments, activities on the boat and DUH.... new BIKINIS and cute clothes to wear.

So the month of April and May will be me anxious for all these upcoming exciting times and busting my butt to look my best! Can't wait!!!! Can't wait to blog about it and show the photos!!!
