Birthday month!

November is always a busy month in the Moore house. We celebrate both of our birthday's this month. I love having the same birthday month. My birthday is first on the 7th. Jeromy gave me very thoughtful gifts this year! First I got the biggest and most beautiful bouquet of flowers I've ever received!


Jeromy had to travel for work on my actual birthday so a couple of days before we got all dressed up and went to dinner at Perry's (YUM) and it's always nice when its free! Love gift cards! It was such a nice dinner.  There were rose petals on the table when we got there and they knew it was my birthday so I got free dessert. It was delightful!
On my actual birthday (Monday) I got up at 4:30 and went to boot camp..that's dedication! Lol I did go home and sleep til about 10 though! I went to lunch with a sweet friend of mine, Rachelle.  She totally made me feel special that day. We went to Salata and she had ballons and gifts and cake pops, I couldn't have asked for a better lunch date! I was so very appreciative of her that day.

Again, Jeromy gave such thoughtful gifts this year...what a sweetheart! Before Thanksgiving we were at the mall and had ventured into the Yankee Candle store. I've never had a Yankee Candle and now I know why people love them so much! We got two candles and turkey decorations for the mantle. So when my birthday rolled around, he gave me two Christmas smelling candles to add to my collection! We had also gone into the Hallmark store that day at the mall and I had seen a beautiful willow tree angel that I loved.  He was listening! He got it for me and here is the start of my collection!
Oh yeah! He also took me to Target (who doesn't love Target?!) and let me pick out a few things that I liked, I'm telling you, he did GOOD this year!

So enough about my birthday, lol, let's switch over to his! Jeromy's birthday is on the 16th.  A few months before his birthday I had seen a Groupon for an hour long Ferrari experience.  I bought it without really reading all the details (I learned my lesson!) and was so excited about him getting to drive a Ferrari, I knew he was going to freak out! So I realized you had to do this on a weekday sometime between 10am-3pm. Uh oh! He works (duh) so I didn't know what I was going to do.  Luckily I had some time to figure it out.  I tried to switch it to a weekend and pay more but the company said no. I know Jeromy's boss pretty well and figured my last resort was to email him and ask for Jeromy to have a half day off from work even though he had no more vacation days this year. Couldn't hurt to ask, right? His boss was so nice and said of course he could have off....whew! So on his actually birthday I gave him a model of what he would be driving and the groupon...he was so excited! I asked my sweet mother in law to come with us because she is fabulous at taking pictures and I certainly wanted the smile on his face documented! So we all went down to the Galleria the next Monday and here we are!
He was just SO excited and nervous at the same time! Don't wreck that $180,000 car baby!! Just check out the huge smile on his face!!!


And he's off! So while he was driving around town in that awesome car, Vicki and I walked over tothe Container Store to look around.  Man that place is awesome and big! It's a bit overwhelming but so many great ideas...anyways! Back the birthday guy....he had an awesome time!



I'm so glad he liked the gift and had a great time....we had wonderful birthdays and are so blessed!

End of October

I love the whole idea of blogging but then always forget to actually blog, ha! I love reading blogs and getting cute ideas from them and catching up on people.  The last time I blogged was over two months ago, oops! I love to blog with pictures and I take a lot with my phone. I am going to start doing an iPhone rewind...I saw it here on Katy Link's blog and it's a really cute idea on how to remember everything that went on each month by looking at the pictures from your phone.  I guess I'll go all the way back to the end of October where I left off and start there. This will be a short post because I already got most of October previously.

The end of October was a busy weekend! We celebrated the birth of our second niece on October 28 at 8:09pm. The whole family gathered to see. I've never gone to a hospital to see a baby born! Here is Madelyn Grace Horton shortly after birth.


Byron, Carlee, and Will were in town that weekend so we could celebrate Byron's birthday. The next day we celebrated with him, Happy Birthday Byron! Hope you enjoy that iTunes gift card!! We ate at Freebirds and had cookie cake (of course!)

Onto the next month!
