To be 26...

Yes, I made it to 26! I'm feeling, well, OLD. Though I look back on the 26 years that got me to where I am now, and I have so much to be grateful for. I may be approaching 30 faster than I'd like, but I know I have so many amazing things to look forward to in the years to come.

I spent a wonderful Birthday with my husband, family, and friends. The Sunday before my Birthday, my bestie, Brittany, cooked dinner for me. It's always nice to have some girl time. This year my Birthday landed on a Wednesday, so I took a few days off work, as my present to myself. Eric took a couple days off as well so we could enjoy the week. I woke up that morning to breakfast in bed by mine truly, Eric truly is the most thoughtful man any woman could wish for as a husband. Then I opened some Birthday Presents! Eric gave me a Silhouette Cameo, with some extra's. I've wanting one for sometime now. Then he took me to Michael's, and I bought lots of paper and vinyl to practice with. He and I enjoyed lunch together, and then went to visit my dad. Dad is still recovering from some surgery complications and is currently at a rehab facility in Daphne. Eric and I ran into my SIL and nephew visiting too. Eric took me shopping in the afternoon for pillows for our new couch, and wanted to buy me a reading chair, but I drew a line. He was spoiling me too much, hahaha. That afternoon Eric and I went to pick up my Birthday cake he special ordered and designed. I felt like I was 6 again because he wouldn't let me see my cake until my party that night.

For dinner, all my family, minus dad, :( met us at Laps Seafood House on the causeway (right on the Bay...sooooooo pretty) for dinner. We ate delicious seafood, fried green tomatoes (my favorite),  and cut the cake. I got spoiled with gifts and money. I such an amazing family and rang in my 26th year of birth in style! So blessed!! I look forward to all the many adventures this next year will bring!

And the very Best gift of all....
