My 29th Birthday...

I've never really minded getting older, until all the sudden I'm faced with the reality that I am now in my last year if my twenties. There is something freeing about your twenties. You're allowed to make mistakes. You're allowed to be carefree. Something about turning thirty seems so adult. So this last year in my twenties I'm going to live it up!!! 

My birthday was perfecto! I told Mitch I wasted a family day- and a family day is just what I got! 

Friday while the baby was napping and Mitch was watching a movie I ran and redeemed my birthday mani/ pedi!

Saturday morning I awoke to my favorite Stabuck's drink!
Mitch and Baby E then took me to the Mansion at Turtle Creek for Brunch!
{Thanks Travelzoo for the special!} 
The dessert bar was so good!!! 
Lump crab + Bacon & onion roll 
Ok, so Mitch and I had one bite of every dessert! I thought I was going to puke but it was worth it! Lol!
{Dark Chocolate Truffle, Hazelnut Truffle, RaspberryFinancier, Chocolate brownie cake, Raspberry moon-pie, Lemon meringue tart, Pistachio macaroon, Chocolate cappuccino, PB&J, Strawberry Rhubarb, Chocolate Creme Brûlée, Vanilla Creme Brûlée, Coconut Pineapple Creme Brûlée, Dulce de leche, Churro with chocolate sauce and berries brochettes} 
I ordered brisket eggs benedict and Mitch ordered salmon and quinoa. We honestly could only take a couple of bites of everything and came home with a ton left over!

Top: Nordstom
Skirt: Vintage {and only 11 bucks might I add}

My sweet baby! 
My "Wolfpack" 
He said "Hi!" to every person that walked through the door!
Mitch was so funny and said Son, your not running for office!! Lol! 
I LOVE ascetics!
The Mansion is gorgeous! Black and white floors and the most fabulous staircase!  
In the afternoon we went on a walk 

Mitch and baby E took me on a sunset sail + picnic! It was so relaxing and fun! 
    The Hinckley 41 is one of 9 made in the world. "Southern Cross" was made in 1969 and has a fully functioning wood burning fire place. It is known to be the most picturesque sail boats in Texas! 



Fun fact, I grew up going to summer camp for 3 weeks every year- for 3 of those years I took sailing specialty and actually know how to sail! It was fun using the old lingo! "Jive ho!" 
What I wore:
White linen pants: J Crew
Blue Top: J Crew
Earrings: Forever 21 

We had Eatzi for dinner which is one of our fav's! 
If Y'all decided to go sailing contact Matt at Sail Dallas and tell him the Stack's sent ya! 

The day was perfect! My heart was full! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for me! 
As I prayed over my 29th year I felt a tug that this will be a year of service. I'm not sure what all that will entail but I will try to serve along the way. In everyday life.
