Birthdays & Engagements

A lot is going on these days. So many things to catch up on. Where to start...

Saturday we celebrated Bobby's niece's, 4th birthday. Hope is the apple of everyone's eye and has gotten to that age where a birthday with friends is what she wants. It used to just be family, but now she wants gifts and entertainment. I can't say I blame her! The party was held at a local party place, Miss.La La's Tree House and they provided toys to play with, crafts, music time and a place to open gifts. I don't remember doing anything that big when I was 4 but then again I don't remember being 4. I'm sure we'll spoil our kids as well.

Sunday was my best friend Audrey's Birthday! Audrey turned the big 29 this year and I think we all agree that 29 & holding is a great age. Audrey is one of the sweetest people I know and one of those friends who is always thinking about you and others. She leaves me some of the best messages and even when she has a bad day she is the first to try and cheer someone else up. So we celebrated at her favorite Mexican place, La Parilla! I happen to love it too and who doesn't. The mariachi band was in full force Sunday night and was nice enough to sing the English and Spanish version of Happy Birthday, or shall I say Feliz Cumplianos.

While us common people celebrate birthdays at local Mexican Restaurants, celebrities do it up a little bigger. There were a few engagements this past week and since I'm in the wedding mood I thought I would highlight those. Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo got engaged and a few days later so did Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson... coincidence, maybe! But the biggest engagement news is Kate Middleton and Prince William. They are so cute together and look very happy. And Kate got an amazing engagement ring, it was Princess Diana's. It was about time for these two, but I can see how being a prince is a bit much to handel and how she might be a little apprehensive. But, she's set to be the Queen! I think we'll see a lot of coverage of this in the coming months and I wish them years of happiness and privacy (well at least one of those can come true). As for Jessica and Nick, I am going to take bets that Nick & Vanessa make it but that Jessica is either prego or they are divorced in 2 years. Just my thoughts.
What a ring, what girl could say NO to that. Bobby did well... but this is amazing. Oh and we have 59 days until our I Do's.
