Birthdays and Bruised Tailbones

This past weekend was my

Trevor's busy season ended last week, so as usual (well the past 2 years), we decided to take a trip for my birthday/busy season ending. Trevor planned this trip long ago with our neighbors Randy and Cassie because Cassie's birthday is a day before mine. He wanted to surprise me and he did really good at keeping it a secret, but someone eventually started talking about the trip and they forgot I didn't know where we were going. So I found out a few weeks before our trip that we were headed to Fort Worth, TX.

The day before we left on our trip my amazing team at work decided to surprise me with a mashed potato bar at lunch! -Now, some of you don't know, but this is what we served at our wedding, so I was really excited!

On Friday we headed down to Fort Worth and got in town just a little before dinner. We ate dinner at Cattleman's Steakhouse.

And then headed to Billy Bob's for the Whiskey Myers concert.

My amazing friend Katy came and met up with us!! So glad I got to hang out with you for a bit!!!

Our hotel was located right in the middle of the Stockyards, so the next morning we got up and went shopping around the Stockyards area. We even got to see the little Cattle drive they do...

We ended up going to lunch at Fred's in downtown Fort Worth and then did some shopping.

That evening, we went to Cooper's BBQ pit to listen to some live music and then jumped around from bar to bar in the Stockyards area.

Birthday Girls!

Thank you so much for a WONDERFUL birthday!!!

Now, I'm sure some of you are wondering where the bruised tailbone comes into play...well here it is! In college, Trevor and I would occasionally be out somewhere where we felt comfortable to dance a little and two-step, but by no means were we any good at it, nor did we really do any fancy tricks other than a spin or two. Well, our neighbors Randy and Cassie are pretty good at two-stepping, so when we go out with them we are definitely out of our element and trying new things. On Saturday night when we were out dancing we decided to try a dip or two and well...Trevor ended up dropping me. I swear I didn't fall very far, but I must have hit my tailbone just right because when I stood up tears flooded my eyes because it hurt so bad. We did dance a little after this incident, but we definitely took it slow and I am still really sore from it today! Everyone says your body just falls apart when you turn 25 and I'm walking proof right now! ;)\

When we returned from Fort Worth we wanted to celebrate with family and friends in Tulsa, so on Monday we had people over to our house and we grilled out for everyone. I had such a great time hanging out with close friends and family, thank you so much to those who came! I really appreciate it!
