Miss Ellie!!!
Clare - My Dad gave her that shirt, terrible. she belongs in leapord :-)So we had a CRAZY week last week, some recruiting, and Burr dealing with quarter deadlines coupled with me having the world’s worst cold. BLAH. And perhaps I may or may not have tried to become a Jazzercise instructor – haha. Yes, about 2 weeks ago I was introduced to Jazzercise. It is quite Jane Fonda-eque just to Rihanna, Beyonce, JT and Chris Brown type music. You dance (or grapevine, hop and clap) for 40 minutes, then do weights and abs. Its actually really fun and you burn at least 400 calories each class and you wouldn’t even know it.
So anyway I’m watching the instructor up there doing her thing thinking “I could definitely do this, it looks so fun, I’ll sign up to be a teacher – It will be something new and different for me” And in true Anne form, So before reading all the requirements about becoming an instructor ,I fill out my interest sheet online….then….then I read that you have to pay over $1000 in franchise fees to become and instructor. And apparently the instructors make maybe $25/class. So the benefits do NOT exceed to cost to become and instructor. $1000 is crazy! No thank you – I’ll just stay on the floor (as opposed to the stage) and dance. YIKES.
This past weekend we went to the UVA football game with Burr’s family. Always a FABULOUS time. Burr, however, may have been overserved on bourbon. I had a great time chatting with all our friends and family, perfect football weather, loving the US of A.
This past Monday, yesterday infact, was my 30th bday. Yep….I said it. I’m officially 30. Ugh ugh ugh. I didn’t want it to come at all but it came and went. Quite wonderfully I might add. Burr and I got up for my fav yoga class with Tanner at Y2 yoga. Then on to work. Over lunch, instead of going out to eat I went to orientation for A Child’s Place in Charlotte to learn how to volunteer with a child one day a week and be their “buddy.” Its for homeless children in our community and I’m really looking forward to it but know it will be difficult.
After work Burr and I met for a drink (pink Champagne or me!). Then onto Customshop in Charlotte for a wonderful long dinner with Burr. It was fabulous. Customshop never disappoints with beef carpaccio for Burr, saffron fettuccini for me, and bread pudding for my birthday cake we were in heaven. Oh, and some delicious Montepuciano wine from Tuscany – love Italy. Then home to open gifts (my fav part). And for all of you wondering…Burr did great (were you worried?) with a beautiful blue Tiffany’s box with earrings inside for me!
Not sure exactly what this weekend holds except for lots more house work, furniture shopping, seeing my friend Jess and her baby, and hopefully going to the movies!

I look scary...
Burr very proud of his bday dinner and celebration and ready to help me enjoy some cake (or bread pudding!)
Cheers to my 30's! PS - For those of you wanting pics of the house. I promise to take some this weekend. Very sorry.
