Starting the Birthday Celebrations Early

 I will officially turn 53 on Friday. But my girlfriend Teresa decided we should start the celebrations early. Back in the day a bunch of us would get together to celebrate birthdays of those in the group on the month of their birthday. We stopped doing this a long while ago, but lately we have all talked about the importance of fellowshipping together more often. Especially since we all go to different churches. When I posted these photos on my page I talked about how hard it is when your on the leadership end of ministry and how important it is to have a support system. I am very blessed that I have that not only through my very close knit family, but also through some really awesome friends who are like family!

We ate dinner down at the oceanfront at Catch 31.  Now I am the only one in the group that doesn't eat seafood, so I made sure to check out the menu beforehand to see if their was anything I could order (it really wasn't so much about the food for me as it was the company and the atmosphere so I wasn't stressing to much about the choices).

Hubby ordered and appetizer of fries loaded with cheese and chili. Which helped to fill me up. LOL

What you eat when your the only one at the table who does not like seafood. LOL

Hubby ordered Sword fish, but he wasn't as satisfied with his as I was (I say if your a seafood place that can make the chicken taste good and juicy your ok with me. I have had experience at other places where that was not the case.

The whole gang! We have been friends for over 20 plus years, but we just don't get to spend as much time together because ministry takes up a large portion of our "free" time.

 The restaurant is right on the boardwalk and has a great view of the ocean (not to mention its a great spot to people watch lol).

My girlfriend Sonia and her hubby. Sonia's birthday is a few days after mine, so this dinner was for her as well.

Our hostess and one of my bestfriends, Teresa and her husband.  We all agreed we need to do this more often!!!

It was a bit chilly on the water so we didn't linger outside long after our "photo shoot. Not sure what the plan for next month will be, but this weekend is going to be crazy because not only is it Easter, but Friday I am celebrating my birthday with a bunch of girlfriends and my sister cousins. So stay tuned for an update (with pictures of course).

For now I have decided that Wednesdays and Saturdays will be my blog day for this page, and Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be posting on my travel page. We have a few mini trips planned and a big trip in late summer to Florida!

My creative blog now host most of the content pertaining to any Event planning, Décor or DIY projects. And I only post there when I have something to share.
