My 41st Birthday!

My sweet angel girl was under the weather

with strep on my birthday.  

She was on the up and up though

so we got out a little bit:)

BiRTHDaY LuNCH with her

at CFA was the BeST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needed to buy some teacher gift

cards so Hadlee knew what that meant!!!

MOM pretending to be a Starbucks GIRL!;)

I just had to see my dad on my 

birthday:)  Lynna and Michelle

happened to both be there so Dad

got all three of his girls at the same

time on my BiRTHDaY!!!

God love him.  

So thankful for him. 

Kelli G surprised me with a cake

and the adorable necklace I have on!

Hello 41:)

My sweet, sweet little family

had surprises for me, too!!!

41 feels fine;)

Troy picked Walker & Jared up from

church and we met at Bush's!  LOL!

Then home for gifts!!!

This might have been my favorite part...

Troy went to the store and bought

gift sacks AND what he thought was

tissue paper ~ but it was a table cloth!

ha ha!  I laughed so hard!

LOVE HIM.

We laughed SO HARD over this!!!

And of course I posed for pics;)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

I am ALWAYS always ALWAYS cold...

I finally got a WARM ONESIE!!!

Plus some perfume and

some HUNTER RAIN BOOTS!!!

Troy didn't know about the ONESIE...

I had wrapped that up from the kiddos.

Because I'm funny like that.

He didn't quite know what

to think!  haha!  

I was so excited though!!!!

Happy 41st to Mama!

Earlier that day when Hadlee & I were

at the mall, I had bought a wedding gift.

Hadlee saw me looking at this...

I LOVE THIS QUOTE and always have.

She asked me for some money 

and wanted to go check out by

herself at Dillard's.

Birthday made by my sweet girl:) 

That weekend my little family took me

to eat.  We held off on a BiG b-day

celebration.  Taking the year off 

from those since my dad can't be there:( 

I couldn't be more thankful

for my FaVoRiTE FouR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet girl:)))

Then they surprised me with THIS!!!!!

41 is FUN!

My sweet teacher friends had given

me a generous Target gift card for my

birthday.  The first thing I used it for

was when I saw that Target finally

had PIE IN THE FACE in stock!!!:)

It made for the perfect b-day celebration!!!

Sharing Jesus, loving my family & friends,

and helping others are my goals

for my 41st year on this earth.  

Thank you, Lord...

especially for my three

greatest gifts!

So many things I thought would bring me happiness

Some dreams that are realities today

Such an irony the things that mean the most to me

Are the memories that I've made along the way

So if there's anything I've learned from this journey I am on

Simple truths will keep you going, simple love will keep you strong

'Cause there are questions without answers and flames that never die

And heartaches we go through are often blessings in disguise

So thank you, Lord, oh thank you, Lord

 how could I ask for more?
