Chapel, Cupcakes, and Curry: My Birthday Weekend

August 14, 2012 by Melissa

Hi all! So Saturday was my birthday…it’s ok if you forgot to get me a gift…kinda.
Here’s a recap in photos of a few things that happened this weekend!

 We went and found the chapel that we’re going to get married in. It holds a special place in our hearts, so it was very moving to stand in it and know that we’ll be married there next year! 
 Beautiful garden that we drove by and will probably have engagement photos taken in. 
 Ummm…pig art?
 Amazing gluten-free cupcakes from Bliss Cupcake Cafe, Fayetteville. By far, these are the best and fluffiest gluten-free cupcakes I’ve had from a bakery (and I’ve had more than my fair share!). Flavors: Strawberry, Elvis, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie. 
 Heavenly curry with lots of veggies and shrimp from our favorite Thai restaurant (and the spot where we had our first date), Taste of Thai. 
 Birthday wine (Malbec)! I don’t usually drink, so a few celebratory glasses was in order. 
End-of-birthday-weekend “birthday cake” protein oat bran. Believe it or not, it’s healthy! And it was a perfect to say farewell to my birthday weekend. 

This was an amazing birthday weekend. It was full of wonderful, heartfelt moments between my fiance and myself. I’ll never forget it. I’m so blessed and can’t wait to see what the next year has in store for me.
