Even though Ryan’s 29th birthday wasn’t exactly the one we had planned, it ended up being a good one!
It was filled with fun, surprises, presents, good food and Oreo pie.
We initially had plans to celebrate two birthdays last night with our friends Will and Alex. Will’s birthday is on October 12 and we were supposed to meet up halfway between their home in Orlando and our home in Ocala to grab dinner and drinks.
Unfortunately they got caught in the middle of some horrendous traffic and were stuck on the turnpike for more than 90 minutes when we agreed to call it a day and reschedule our plans. We felt awful for them, but we’re looking forward to seeing them very soon!
Instead of our original plans, Ryan and I ended up enjoying an impromptu birthday date. I love our dates and we have another one on the agenda for this evening – the original “just us” birthday date I had planned all along!
Workout
Today’s workout had me sweatin’! I began with 20 minutes of cardio on the elliptical before hopping off to complete my Sunrise Circuit Workout.
Not a bad way to start a Saturday!
Breakfast
After the gym, Ryan and I popped into Publix to grab some food for the weekend. I picked up one of their fruit and yogurt parfaits and ate it along with a slightly over-cooked pumpkin oatmeal muffin.
Time to walk Sadie!

I hope Ryan had a lovely birthday 🙂 I just grabbed some fruit for my breakfast post-workout. I never workout in the morning so I wanted something easy!
I’m sorry your b-day plans didn’t work out. At least your friends were not hurt in the accident…it looks like at least 52 people were injured.
I’m so glad you guys made the most of a sudden change in plans. I’m sure more than anything Ryan just wanted you to be there for his birthday festivities, regardless of what they involved!
I love birthday dates! So special, enjoy the next one!
Love your placemats, so fall-ish! Where are they from?
big lots! i got them on super sale last year.
That OREO pie…..
it’s already gone. and there were only two of us eating it. YES.
Any night involving Oreo pie has to be a good one 🙂 Glad you guys were able to have a good time!
Impromptu dates are the best! I hope you and Ryan had fun. That pumpkin oatmeal muffin sounds right up my alley.
oh no, that’s too bad for your friends! Haha I would have been hangry sitting in that car!
Have fun on your date tonight!
I love impromptu dates!! Those are always the best!! Hope you guys have fun on your date tonight!
Mmmmm do I see some brothy mussels?! Those look fantabulous. And I’d love to start my day with a workout! But it takes more willpower than I thought 😛
i loooove mussels. and the garlic bread toast they served with them was amazing!
Hello! I’m new to your blog and just wanted to say hi and introduce myself! Looking forward to checking out some of your recipes and getting to know you! Have a great weekend! 🙂
What’s the recipe for the Oreo pie? It looks delicious!!!
Oreo pie yummm! Two birthday celebrations are way better than one! I think Ryan got a pretty good deal 🙂
I am sorry about your plans no working out! At least you both had fun in the end 🙂
Just an FYI.. I tried to make your pumpkin oatmeal muffins this afternoon and there seems to be parts missing from the recipe!! I had to make a few guesses, but they turned out pretty good!!
yay for double date night 😉
