Time Flies!




I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. It seems like just last month I turned 26 and now I'm 27!?! What the.....?! What a great year it has been though. I have loved every minute of being a mom and wife. One thing I have learned is to really enjoy each day because it goes by so fast. I had a really great birthday. My Friends, family and husband made me feel so special. It felt like Saturday was my birthday, because I had so much fun. Melissa and I started Saturday morning early at 7 with Breakfast then Pedicures, and shopping. We didn't get home until 2! Melissa and I have been friends now for 14 years. We share a birthday too, which is so fun! She's a year older. I'm so mad I didn't take any pictures of our fun day together! What the heck was I thinking!? We went out Sat night with a few other couples to Cheesecake factory then to see the movie, "Taken". It's a total guy movie in my opinion. It was very disturbing to us girls. Sunday was my actual birthday and it didn't feel like it until friends at church wished me a happy one. That was so nice and thoughtful of them to remember. The day continued to be great with a nap after church, a visit from Jaime, Tyson & the girls then dinner at my moms. Monday some Friends and I went to Gecko Grill to continue celebrating. I just love my friends! They are so sweet! I wish everyone could have come. Linnlee busted out the three layered chocolate cake made from scratch with raspberry filling! It was awesome! Thank you all so much for making my birthday so special and memorable! Some of my gifts this year were, Temple bag, place mattes, lots of treats from friends and family, perfume, makeup, shoes, jogging stroller, cute valentine jars with candy, Scentsy plug in, body butter and home fragrance. I'm happy to be here on earth and know all of you. I'm so ready for this 27Th year!
