24th Birthday Dinner
I love my birthday, and I plan on loving it with no reservations for the rest of my life.
That Husband does not like celebrating his birthday. He doesn’t even like thinking about it. He doesn’t like getting presents, and he only likes to give e-cards when it is someones birthday. That’s the way he did things until he married me.
Somehow I was able to convince my e-card loving husband that my birthday was something worth celebrating in a big way. I convinced him so well that tonight we are kicking off the first part of four gift giving events. Gifts include one dinner, two practical gifts, and one frivolously lovely surprise. The frivolous gift will come on my birthday (April 15th), and the dinner is happening tonight!
I don’t know where we are going, but I know it’s fancy enough to warrant dressing up, curling my hair, and dabbing some perfume on my pulse points.
Kelli Nicole was here this week and we did headshots for each other. Somehow we were able to find a wall that matched my outfit perfectly! I’ll post more of these next week. Enjoy the beginning of your weekend!

oh jenna you are too cute. I know how it must be like for you RE birthdays. My hubby and his family are really big on birthdays, but I’m not so much. Maybe it has something to do with my birthday being in the summer, so I never really got to “do it up big” with my friends and classmates like everyone else when I was young. Anyhow, as a result, I’ve never been really big on celebrating my own birthday, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE celebrating my loved ones’ birthdays. It took me a while to get used to my hubby wanting to celebrate mine (and for me to remember to celebrate his - bad me), but keep at it, and eventually you two will get used to each other’s birthday customs. We now lean towards celebrating - because after all, who can resist a celebration??
1Happy (almost) Birthday!
2I hope you have a great time with TH tonight and enjoy your dinner! You look gorgeous in that picture, as always.
Lovely picture. Enjoy your celebrations!
3Such a great photo! Is that necklace from Etsy? It’s adorable.
I also have an April birthday and love celebrating it. There’s something really nice about a Spring birthday. Can’t wait to hear more about your dinner!

It is
I have matching necklace, earring, and ring all from Etsy in those colors and I love them.
Me too, I’m all about the celebrating life.
Have a lovely time
5How did the dinner go? We need a follow up posting about the cuisine, the attire, the lighting… bring it on!
Happy Almost
