Scott and I woke up in Little Rock and got ready to head to Memphis so we could make it in time for lunch. I wanted to eat at one of my favorite places, Owen Brennans. It's cajun food and I LOVE eating lunch there. Look how yummy my crawfish etouffee looks!!
After I left Joseph fairly disappointed, I headed to the Saddle Creek shopping center and went to Anthropology and J. Crew. NOTHING. Left with nothing. We decided to head to our hotel, The Madison, and relax and get ready for dinner at Spindini with my parents and Kyle. We enjoyed champagne while we got ready and little did I know Scott had a surprise waiting for me. When I got to Spindini I had some friends sitting at the table! Ashley, Wade, and Alissa came to have dinner with me!! It was so great to see them. Such great friends to come and hang out on a Tuesday night with me! We had a fantastic dinner then my family left to go home to Little Rock and the rest of us hit up Beale street to top off a perfect birthday evening!!
Thank you to Scott for planning my surprise and for my great friends for coming to spend my birthday with me AND especially for my family for driving up to spend my birthday with me in Memphis! 
Today Scott and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at The Madison then walked around downtown and popped into Hueys for an extremely greasy (yet delicious) burger. After that we did one of my favorite things in the whole wide world no kidding....sat in the Peabody lounge and enjoyed a glass of wine while we watched the ducks. I really, really love to do that. I did it all the time when I lived in Memphis and it always relaxed me and made me feel like I was in love with my life at the time!! We left the Peabody then went onto the rooftop of The Madison to enjoy the Memphis view and reminisce then we headed home. It was great to be in Memphis but I have to admit I don't miss living there. I thought I might get a little sad and miss being there. I enjoyed spending a few days in Memphis but I'm content where I live now! I need to go back more often though and see my friends because that is definitely something I miss. All in all it was a really perfect birthday. I didn't find many clothes or shoes like I was hoping to do but I ate great food and enjoyed being with friends and family in my old stomping grounds!
