And Another One Bites the Dust

Or just turned 30. Either way! This past weekend, we got to celebrate a very special YOUNG lady, my cousin, Stacey. I absolutely love this girl to pieces and I was so happy to be there to celebrate her and her entering a new decade of her life. We had lots of fun and I hope that her day/weekend was super special.

Saturday night, a group of us girls hit up downtown Pensacola. The birthday girl requested a night at the Symphony and dinner at the Global Grill. We are just fancy like that! She had me at hello. Food and music. I'm there!

(I'm going to give a huge shout out to my girl, Courtney whose photos I totally stole from Facebook, because I'm too lazy to upload my own!)


 
Between all of us, we had 2 Ashleys, 2 Brandys, and 2 Elisabeths! And of course a Stacey, Courtney, and Libbie. Thankfully we kept everyone straight.
 
 
We had a delicious meal of tapas, then the real treat came out. Courtney brought a strawberry cake all the way from Edgar's Bakery in Birmingham. It was so good!

Courtney emailed me about the candles for the cake. Should we do just a 3-0 or do 30 candles? We decided it would be more effect with 30 candles. That cake was on fire!
 
The best part was that Libbie asked the entire restaurant to join in with us to sing happy birthday. There was a table directly behind us with several retired naval fighter pilots. Two especially got into it and sang Stacey their own rendition of Happy Birthday. It was so sweet. We ended up giving them all the rest of that divine strawberry cake and got a few pictures with them. And oh yeah- they were headed to the symphony as well.

After dinner, it was time for the big show. The Symphony was at the historic Saenger Theatre downtown.
It was a GREAT show and the pianist was phenomenal!
 
Me and the birthday girl!
Sunday, which was her actual birthday, we kept the party going with a family birthday. My Aunt Susan did a good job. Everything was so cute! She even did a little poster of what was happening back in 1983 when Stacey made her debut.



Happy Birthday, Stacey Suzanne! Welcome to the Dirty Thirty club!!
