Morning! I didn’t write a post last night because I was so tired when I got home at 9:30, I went right to bed. I hit the Thursday wall.

Let’s back up, around 4:30 I had some fruit.

Watermelon, cantaloupe, blackberries and raspberries.

I got a call from my friend Colin today saying he was having a crisis and needed to meet me after work for a beer. Of course, I rearranged everything to meet him because he sounded like he really needed to talk. Well, around 5:30 I headed to Sidebar to meet him. When I got there he and my bestie May were there waiting for me. Apparently, there was no crisis and they just wanted to surprise me with a few beers to celebrate my big  news! Nothing like celebrating with good friends!

I had two of these:

May and Colin’s new roomate Gabe came and met us out too. It was really great to meet him. Welcome to the family, Gabe!

After having a couple beers at Sidebar, we headed to The Kinsale for a beer and appetizers. Once we got there I ordered a Pumpkin Ale, the rim of the glass had cinnamon and sugar on it. HOLY YUM!

May got the same thing and loved it too!

The four of us ordered a series of apps!

Sweet potato fries!!!

Potato skins (we subbed the bacon for veggie chili)

Cheese plate:

Yeah, that’s May’s tongue, I think she was a little drunk.

Buffalo tenders:

Nachos with veggie chili instead of meat:

I had a little of everything. I had a tiny piece of the buffalo tenders because the smell was so strong it was making my mouth water, but fried food kills my belly to I could only have a little piece.

It was such a great night with my besties! May and Colin have been my best friends  since forever. Colin and I are actually 2nd cousins ( our grandmothers were sisters). I have known him since he was born.

May has been my absolute best friend since we met in pre-school. I really consider May to me more like a sister, since we grew up together and have been inseparable our whole lives. May is my Maid of Honor in our wedding.

The three of us have been best friends for over 20 years, and I love them both dearly. We have the best time together!!!

and are always acting silly and laughing when we are together!

May and Colin, age 11? How cute!

I think we are 21-ish here!

I was so happy to be out with my best friends celebrating exciting things!!!! After hanging out with them all night, I was so tired I just crashed out!!!

This morning breakfast consisted of a small bowl of fruit.

two pieces of Ezekiel cinnamon raisin toast! Can I just say I love this stuff? It is so delicious!

and coffee! Perfect! I actually caught Oscar trying to steal my toast when I tuned my head for a second. I guess he loves Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin Toast too
