I have been blessed...for 25 years!

I have to say that yesterday started out like any ol' day...got up at 5:58AM to fix Jonathan's lunch and tell him goodbye as he left for work...laid back down...slept in a little...got up and ate breakfast...checked blogger and facebook...got ready for the day...


Then, my family called and told me "Happy Birthday!" They had already told me the day before to be looking for a delivery between 11:30 and 2:30...so I was anticipating something special! About 12:30, Mama called again and asked if I had eaten lunch yet...I told her I had (I thought maybe they were having takeout delivered from a Chinese restaurant because I have been craving some (=). I went to the bedroom to do something and just happened to look out the window, and I see a blue van with a yellow bumper sticker pulling in! I could hardly believe my eyes! It was my family! They drove 6 hours just to bring me cake and visit with me on my birthday! They spent a few hours with me before heading back home...oh, it was so good to see them! They brought Cadburry eggs and Reese's Peanut Butter eggs, a dress from my aunt, Beatrix Potter books, musical dvd, and other little nicknack's! I wish I had taken some pictures...but Rebekah did give me a diaper bag! Here is a pic of that! Isn't cute?


Last night after my parents left, Jonathan took me to supper at Burger King...yes, I did really bad yesterday...I had a Whopper with cheese...it was sooooooo good! After that, Jonathan took me to Khol's and Marshalls to look around before I had to be at his sister's baby shower...when I came home, Jonathan was waiting for me with a candle lit and several gifts laid out on the coffee table with the deep pink roses he had given me that afternoon (for the past months of our marriage, every time the 27th comes around, Jonathan gives me roses...one for every month...he is so wonderfully sweet! <3)

Yes, I know I look really bad...makeup all gone...due to crying from the card Jonathan gave me! It was super romantical and sweet! My beautiful journal!



Jonathan gave me an address book (which I really needed), two maternity tops, a skirt, journal, and Sweet Pea shower gel!!!


Reading the card...see my beautiful roses!!!!


Yes, I have been so blessed!
