Sunday, My friend Danielle Came from emery county up to see me! i could not even believe she made the trip for that! its like TWO HOURS! She has been one of my best friends since were little bitty. I was so touched by her love and friendship... which leads me to today. Today i have felt very blessed .
Today i let my alarm go off, and went back to bed. I wanted to sleep in- NO WORK!(thanks Brooke for approving the time off) Yes!! So after a hour or so of just relaxing (i couldn't really go back to sleep) I smiled and got ready for the Gym. I was kind of bummed because i knew i wouldn't get to see any of my friends there, but how often do i get to sleep in? (not most days) So i got there, and starting doing sit ups, and then lo and behold in walks Julie. YAAAAAAY! She walks over and says "Happy Birthday". and then later on we had a really good convo on the elliptical. I always learn something new, and inspired by everything she says. She leaves and then in walks Jessica! Oh my goodness. Double whammy! It was so good to catch up. and working out wasn't even hard... ok.. it actually was, BUT STILL! After my long hard cardio..I get a happy birthday voice-mail from my long time good friend Jacqueline. The first one of the day! Thank you!
I decide to go tanning. mmm relaxing! If you go at 8 in the morning there is no line. I get home, and take a nice warm bubble bath.. Do the laundry (It needed badly to be done) and start getting ready for the day. I get a text "Hey... do you work today?" From my friend Lily, and in my head i was thinking "Shes coming over!" after those thoughts, and even before i had time to respond to the Text Lily knocks on my door. Holding a cute gift bag. I didnt even know she knew where i lived exactly! I was a little embarassed since my hair was only half done, and my house kind of a mess, but The Surprise made me happier than ever! She got me a cute picture frame and a to die for cupcake... oh my gosh... SOO good.
So anyways... It was probably a good thing she came cuz my husband decided NOW.. at Eleven to get out of bed. (his day off ) I was beginning to wonder if he was even alive. :)
So Then, James says "so what DID you want to do today honey?" We were thinking about going to the zoo cuz i love animals. but ! in the first time in ever... The weather has been crummy, So we decided we would go see a movie, (Prince of Persia and on Tuesday get this... FREE POPCORN) and if im allowed to say Jake is pretty hot! So i got online to check show times, and logged in to facebook. 14 new messages on facebook. WHAT. Do i even know 14 people? jk. Wow i felt really loved and appreciated. Really. Thanks everyone .
The movie was great. I loved it and i loved going to Nordstroms! I got clinque perfume (happy) and since i spent more than 25 dollars, i got a free make up bag! how often does that happen?! Thank you Kevin and Tammy for the gift card!
I got home to a lovely package on my door from James sister Emily. She put together the flowers in the picture for me. (she also did my flowers for our wedding. as you can tell shes got major talent)
It was awesome spending the whole day with my husband.. He said he would fix me any dinner i wanted. So i chose a roast chicken. It was really good. We bought one pre cooked and made fully loaded mashed patatoes and broccoli. HOW SWEET! He is such a great guy! I am so blessed to have met him, and his family---who do everything for us....They really do.
After that, My mom called and my brothers and sisters sang to me!
I got changed in my pjs and another unexpected visitor arrived at my house. JULIE! oh my goodness! I was so happy... How my life has changed. I didnt think anyone would even think of me.
So.. i think its official. I can no longer complain. EVER. I am so eternally grateful for what i have and what God has blessed me with. Today Is the best birthday ever. But its not just about me... or about today. Its about how all of YOU and how you make ME happy EVERY day. Life would not be the same with out you guys. I love you all, and you all mean everything to me. Thank you for all the phone calls, texts, emails and love. It means more than you could ever know.
Thank you
