My Birthday -- A week late

My birthday was awesome! Birthdays really are a big deal to me. I don't have to have a big party, but I would like people to remember. I really thought everyone was going to forget. There has been a lot going on and this has been the month for birthdays and parties for sure!! But, I wasn't forgotten!!

Aaron got me these towels from Williams-Sonoma. For what he paid for these things, they should air dry you off. They don't dry very well, but they sure look good!! He also gave me some spending money, so I'll be going clothes shopping soon.

I got this really neat watch from Joel & Trish. I found it when we were in NYC, but it was in the first store we went in, so I didn't want to spend all of my money just yet. We never went back to get it. I was kicking myself on the bus ride home because I really liked it! Then, when Trish & I went to Austin, I found it again, but it was too small and they didn't have the extra links. UGH! The last time Trish went to Austin, she called me and said, "Hey. Did you know you just have to call this 1-800 number and they will send you the links to that watch?" I wanted to tell her to get it for me, but I was out of blow money for the month. Little did I know, she had already bought it for me and here it is! I absolutely love it!!

I got this really sweet card from Brandon. I really was shocked that he remembered.

On Sunday morning, Jerod had me come up front and said some really sweet things about me. I don't like being the center of attention, so I felt a little awkward. Then, when everyone sang Happy Birthday to me, that was just really neat. Again, being the center of attention, I felt a little awkward, but it was nice. The kids were so sweet whispering "cha cha cha" during those parts. It was just really neat.

I also got these flowers at church on Sunday. They were left over from a wedding that Joel catered, but they were amazing!! I'm usually not a flower kind of girl, but those were beautiful!! And they smelled good!!

We went to Bonzai for lunch. Aaron took some good pictures on his phone. The boys loved the experience, but didn't like the food. I still think I like Fuji better, but it was good.

Katianne got me this picture. It was very sweet of her and I really like it!!

I also got some money for my birthday, which I'm using to finish up my scrapbook room. Pictures of the finished product will be posted later this week. I'm really liking it!!

Also for my birthday, I got to spend Thursday with Brandi scrapbooking at her house. It really was a great time and very relaxing! I got a project done that I have been working on . . . just a few more to finish!! ;-)

So, thank you everyone!! You made my birthday!!
