Mama's Bday

So because I was so focused on Jaylin's 1st birthday, I had honestly not given much thought to my birthday. But the Lord had special plans for me through His wonderful and generous people! Last year I was delivering Jaylin on my birthday, which was a wonderful gift and a great surprise! This year was full of different surprises which too blessed my life! I am so grateful to the Lord for my sweet friends, family, and wonderful husband who truly made me feel so loved and cherished on my birthday! To start off a week before my birthday I received two packages from friends who are so dear to me! They both came with such love and creativity! Thanks friends! I love you girls and appreciate every effort and detail! p.s. (adding this later) Thank you to Ev for the beautiful wreath and to my amazing Aunt Ellen who showered me with a package full of love this week too! You all are so amazing and blessed my birthday so much!

Then my amazing friends/family (Kollene and Heather) blessed me with an amazing day! They came and watched the kids, and arrived at the door with a tea I like from starbucks, a beautiful bouquet of wild flowers, and they let me sneak away to workout and run errands. Then I came home and they had decorated my table with party plates, flowers, muffins, balloons, and brought in one of my favs (chipotle)! :) Yum! In addition they blessed Jaylin and I with gifts and their wonderful smiles and warm hugs were truly a God sent! Then to top it off Kollene treated me to a pedi! Wow! It had been a while and it felt so good! WOW! Seriously! These two are angels from heaven! I could just cry writing about them! I thank the Lord for ever sweet detail and effort they made to bless my day! They did! I am overwhelmed by their love and generous hearts! Thank you girls! I love you and praise God for you! You truly are angels!

While I was out running errands my sweet sister in Jesus and wonderful friend Noelle blessed me with such joy and fun! After working out and heading to my car this is what I found...

Then my amazing husband and kidos blessed me with a night out with Tu! He surprised me and took me to this fondue restaurant that we have been wanting to try! It was soooooooo much fun and so good! The best part was just being together and reminiscing about how fast time is going! Seriously! Time is flying! I am thankful for my man and for the way he loves me! He made me feel so special and treasured on my birthday! Thanks babe! I love you!

Then.... He surprised me with a new phone! WOW! I was excited! Truly! I feel spoiled... showered with love! Thank you JESUS for allowing this birthday to be so sweet! I have much to be thankful for!

Then my parents came up, my mom surprised me, which was amazing, and showered me with love and gifts as well! Truly! THey are amazing and always know how to make you feel special on your birthday! THanks Dad and Mom! Here are some of the fun things they blessed me with.

WOW! I can't begin to tell you all how much I love and appreciate your love! I have felt truly blessed and special on by birthday! Thank you to my amazing friends, family, and wonderful husband who made my birthday so wonderful! I appreciate every card, text, call, email, words of love, package, and gifts! I am richly blessed! Thank you sweet Jesus for each of these people you have brought to teach me more about your love for us!
