Wow!

I am feeling quite blessed with all of the wonderful surprises that were given to me on my birthday! Its been the bestest birthday I've had in awhile.

Devon, what an awesome surprise! It made me feel so special, and you know I feel the same about you!

I ordered a couple of dresses online for my birthday from Ryan so I was extra surprised when he and the kids got me some hand weights (which I've been wanting) and a nice water bottle. I've been using just a regular old cup when I go on the elliptical, not so easy to drink from while your still trying to move. So that was quite exciting! I wasn't expecting that at all. Thanks Ry!

Devon came over late afternoon to babysit the kids while Ryan and I went to look at some show homes and go out for dinner. Then we went over to my Dad's to play ping pong. Cody and my cousin were there and I got yet another surprise from Cody when he gave me a card with a gift certificate in it! We don't usually get each other gifts. I'm so excited to go shopping! Thanks Cody! And thanks for babysitting Devon, and for the card and gift! and for the beautiful cards the kids presented me with when we got home! I love them! And thanks to Britteni and Bella for their beautiful cards as well!

Then I got to go out for dessert with my fabulous sister-friends! We had a blast and didn't get home until midnight. Funny thing was I invited them all to go out, but they had already been planning to surprise me and take me out! thanks Devon, Britt, and Naomi for a fun-filled evening of laughs and girl talk! Love you guys!

I also have to give a shout out to Connie, Jacki, and Shannon for a delicious turkey dinner, and gifts! I love spending time with you guys! And a shout out to all my facebook friends who took the time to wish me a happy birthday! Its great to know I'm loved! Love you all!

And that, is a fantastic birthday!
