My birthday celebration began last Saturday when Locke bought me a ring from James Avery. It features a garnet which is my birthstone. Showing off my new ring, we went to dinner at TGI Fridays and I had my favorite dessert...the Brownie Obsession!
Sunday night we had a snow storm and Williamson County was kind enough to cancel school on my birthday :) In fact, I didn't have to go back to work until Friday because of icy roads!! It was a welcomed break and made my birthday week even better :)
On Monday, my actual birthday, Locke and I went to the movies. We saw True Grit; I enjoyed it and recommend it. Then this past Saturday we took a day trip to Lynchburg, TN and toured the Jack Daniel Distillery. It was a free tour and very interesting! After the tour, we walked around the downtown square of Lynchburg and visited the little gift shops (but no Jack Daniels for sale, because it's a DRY county! Ha!) Then we had lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House where we waited for the 1:00 dinner bell before being seated at a large table with several other dinner guests and enjoyed a yummy family style meal. It was a great day!

After returning to Nashville, we met up with several of my friends to celebrate my birthday and Brooxie's birthday at Taco Mamacitas!
It was a wonderful birthday week!!
