ReplyDeleteHappy birthday gorgeous!! Cant wait to read about what hubby had in store for you :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift was our dog Monster :) She was an early bday gift from the hubby and the best ever!
My first Bday with the boyfriend now hubs he worked for sony ericson in research and development. I desperatly wanted a new phone and he got me one that handn't come out yet and add everything personalized just for me. It was very sweet
ReplyDeleteHubby came from a deployment a few days after my birthday. Doesn't get much better than that!
ReplyDeleteI honestly can't remember. My birthday falls right after Christmas so everything lumps together! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Hmmm...My husband claims that my engagement ring was my 19th birthday present, since he gave it to me three weeks before my birthday...but what I really wanted was an engagement ring AND a birthday present. Yep, greedy little golddigger right there. :P
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that's hard!! One time the hubby surprised me with new Frye boots - that was pretty amazing! But more amazing that he remembered my shoe size! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! My birthday is coming up next week and I can't wait. Any time I get to spend time with people I care about is always a good gift.
ReplyDeleteYaaayyyy!!!!! Happy Birthday Casey! I hope you have a fabulous time celebrating with your favorite guy. So happy for you to have reached your followers goal :-)!

The Best Birthday gift ever was on my 18th birthday, my Long Distance Boyfriend (now Husband) traveled 350 miles to take me to my Senior Winter Formal and celebrate my 18th b-day. How awesome is that!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy birthday, Casey! I hope it is absolutely wonderful! I splurged two years ago and bought myself a super-nice computer for my photo editing, so that would have to be my favorite birthday present!
ReplyDeleteHappiest of birthdays to you!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the best gift I've received.. that's so tough. The first year that my (now) fiance and I were together, he threw a big birthday party for me and it was all New York themed. I've never been and really want to go. My living room was the skyline, my kitchen was Times Square, and the backyard was Central Park. Everything took so much time to prepare and it was basically the sweetest thing ever :)
Happy Happy Happy Birthday! The best birthday gift I've received was my car when I turned 16. Omg, so cheesy I know, but it was exactly what I needed, 4 wheels to get away from my parents!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday Casey! October is the best month for birthdays, don't you agree? [I say that because mine is coming up in 2 weeks!]
ReplyDeletemy favorite recent birthday present has to be my camera - I just got it last year, but it is seriously my favorite possession on this earth. it's my baby.
Has to be a cell phone... when I was 16. It was huge and I was thrilled :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday :) And congrats on meeting your goal - that is awesome! The best birthday gift I was ever given had to be a behind the scenes tour at Sea World where I got to pet a real live penguin. I don't think I'll ever forget that birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Love your blog and its great to see what a fellow usaf wife is up to. My fave bday gift would have to be something we have planned for my next bday..a night in a treehouse at a vineyard! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! My best present was almost 7 years ago when my son was born. He was actually 2 weeks later than my birthday but he's the best thing that could have eve happened to me.
ReplyDeleteHa! That is my favorite line from that movie. Happy Birthday! Hope you have a fabulous day with your hubby. and congrats on meeting your goal and thanks for the awesome give away!
ReplyDeleteMy best birthday present was a horse. A girl's dream, right there!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 7, also my golden birthday, my grandparents took me to Disney World!
ReplyDeleteP.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! <3
ReplyDeletep.s. my best birthday present would have to be the camera my hubby got me. what can I say, I'm picture crazy =)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! The best present I ever received was a new puppy dog :) He is like my child. We love him.
ReplyDeleteThe absolute BEST birthday gift I ever received was when I got back together with my boyfriend during a trip to visit the states, and he came to visit me in Germany in December for 5 whole weeks! Definitely the best birthday gift ever. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you! :) I got a baby a few years ago!!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy best friend surprised me with a girls trip one year for my birthday. So much fun!

ReplyDeleteI would say the day after my 33rd birthday I had my second son.
ReplyDeleteBest gift i ever received...Diamond necklace from my husband.
ReplyDeleteMy best gift was the camera lenses I got this year!

My husband got me a Dachshund for my 25 birthday. He's my first born really.
ReplyDeleteI always love when my hubby sends me to the spa!
ReplyDeleteOh yay! Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteEach year I am blessed beyond belief so it's hard to pick ONE favorite. My favorite this year was my Michael Kors watch :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Congratulations on reaching your goal. I am a newish follower and enjoy reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gift was a trip to Vegas for my 21st. The best place to spend that milestone birthday. Especially when it's paid for!
Happiest birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteThe best birthday gift I have ever received would be.. I got engaged not long after my birthday... so my beautiful wedding ring :)
The best bday gift I have ever received would probably be my first car. It took me awhile to figure out it was my mom driving up to me in a car (my new one) honking the horn all excited. But it was amazing! I hope you had a fabulous birthday too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 500 followers, and I hope you had an awesome birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteDropping by from the GFC blog hop. :)
The best birthday gift I ever received? That's hard to say, because my birthday falls just after New Years' when no one cares about celebrating anymore. I think my adult birthdays have been way better than my childhood birthdays, and the last one must have been one of the best. We just took a huge group of people downtown in Chicago and visited Wilde, a literary themed bar-restaurant, and followed up with Molly's Cupcakes and a cute like Lakeview bar. SUCH a nice night :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on hitting that milestone, and happy birthday!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on reaching 500! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteXO,

happy birthday and congrats! New follower from the blog hop :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations :D, the best birthday gift I ever received was my Ereader. I got it from my mother and boy do I Love this thing. I take it everywhere
ReplyDeleteHmmm... this is an interesting question!!! I can't think of anything awesome I've ever received for my birthday ... but I'm sure I've gotten some good stuff over the years. :)
ReplyDeletea trip is the best gift!
ReplyDeleteI got a cute little heart ring from my boyfriend for my 21st. I love it :)
ReplyDeleteThe year our 1st child was born, I received a bracelet from Tiffany & Co with mine, my husbands & our daughters first initials engraved. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! It's really hard to narrow down the best birthday gift... but I think an experience does it for me. When we were stationed in Japan I was turning 21 and I decided I wanted to climb Mt. Fuji. Well, the hike the day after my birthday was unavailable so I went like a week after my birthday. It was an awesome and amazing experience and I'm so glad I did it.
ReplyDeleteI know it seems cliche but it was truly very sweet. My husband was on the east coast, me on the west coast while he was in Navy Schooling. He sent me an ipod stocked with all "our" songs, and set up his card on an itunes account for me so I could download whenever I wanted. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, chickadee! I'd have to say the best birthday gift I've received was a watch from my mom. I know a watch doesn't sound like anything to be excited about, but it was all the time and planning that my mom put into that gift having it custom made for me. It showed that she listens to the little things that I say...the things that I often think people don't hear. But leave it to my mom to hear everything...big or small. She rocks!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! My favorite bday gift was a hot air balloon ride with my family and friends!
ReplyDeleteKatie
My best birthday gift was this year- we announced our news that we were engaged to our parents & close family. It was a triple celebration as it was also mine & my mum's birthday- it was a great gift spending it with all our family.
ReplyDeleteI think one of my favorite birthday gifts was horseback riding lessons - I was so excited! Happy birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteMy two son's. Neither were born on my birthday, but I cannot think of a better birthday gift than that:)
