The great reveal...

For my 30th birthday, my sister planned a mystery weekend for us to celebrate.   I was told to pack a passport, carry-on bag and a dress - that's all I knew.  There was much excitement and anticipation as the weekend drew near, and I receive numerous texts from friends who were also eager to find out where I was going!  If you'd like to read all the details and planning that went into the event, as well as how we got into the 'pretty line' at the taping of AFV (which will air on March 4th!) you can read it here on my sister's blog: Funny the way it is...

The video below is of the great reveal!  As well as some of the other details of our trip - including some shuffling at 4am. :) Warning:  many tears were shed during the video, but they were all from sheer joy and excitement!  I'm a lucky girl to have the amazing sister that I do.  Thank you Adrienne - what an unforgettable birthday. I love you! XOX

The big 3-0

Well today's the day - I officially turn 30!  It's been a pretty amazing day/month so far - full of surprises (a trip to LA, lunches, dinners, flowers, phone calls, FB messages and texts.)  I'm excited for what this year will bring. In order to keep the the momentum going after such an exciting month, I've decided to challenge myself to complete a series of personal 30 day challenges. The source of my inspiration comes from this TEDtalk below:

Here are my 30 day challenges ideas so far:  mail a card everyday, no sugar, yoga everyday, no plastic bags, take a photograph, no driving, buy a stranger a coffee, and who knows what else! (if you have any ideas - please share them!) All I know is that I'm excited to live my life and continue growing in many ways.
