Okay so this week I got to celebrate my last birthday in my twenties. Can I just say that this has been one of my best birthdays since I can remember. To kick off the whole celebration I have this wonderful friend, Autumn who tagged around with my at an antique store three weeks prior so I could pick out my present. It is the wardrobe pictured above. Then on the Friday before my birthday Autumn had a Dutch Oven dinner and made me a poster and had balloons up . And the best part was her daughter Ellie so excited to be giving me a "birthday" party. She made me a cute present with a yellow bow. It was so nice of her to do that small kind act. Then on Saturday I got to pick out a new mailbox that I have been wanting for at least 2 years and that is what my mom got me. I know you are probably thinking a mailbox but I am practical and that is what I wanted. Plus, on Monday my wonderful in-laws sent me a beautiful card with money so I bought a zoo pass that I have been putting off. I had a wonderful day on my actual birthday too. I got to go to a free movie with my children and Jacob, plus Holly and her seven children, plus Mary Ann and her daughter. It was wonderful we took up an entire row and had four buckets of popcorn. Thank Heavens for the free refills. The whole day was filled with kind acts of others. My friend Bylle brought me wonderful cookie bars and a beautiful card. My friend Amanda brought me these to die for brownies that I was wanting my husband to make but she made them instead. This was so kind given both of her girls have been running fevers for days. Katie also brought me this darling dish bottle with pink dish soap in it and cute pink rubber gloves all tied together with a pink bow. One nice thing is she came during nap time so I got to visit with her for awhile. I felt bad when Bylle stopped by because I was having my daily power struggle with my son so I couldn't visit. I think she understood. Anyway, the day was just filled with many people calling to wish me a happy birthday. Heck, I even got a phone call from one of my childhood friends at 9:45 at night which woke me up to wish me happy birthday. As for the blessing part in my title, I just saw this as an opportunity to show how very grateful I am to have such a wonderful family and to have such wonderful friends that took time to remember my one my day. It made me realize that I need to do a better job at remembering them.
