Well I can’t believe that I am 27 years old!! I feel like I am getting soooo old. I know I know some of you would say that sounds ridiculous. I met Chris when I was 18 years old, then we were married when I was 22. Now I have a husband, my cute home, and 2 kids!! I have to say getting older is actually pretty awesome. If I would have known all these wonderful things came along with it, I would have pushed to grow up quicker. So for my birthday I am of course super spoiled, like usual. I basically got 4 days in a row of birthday fun. It started on Sunday and didn’t end until Thursday. Sunday I went to the park with all of my family, I mean extended and all. You see me and my grandpa share our birthday’s together(there is a picture of us above), we have all of my life. So this year he turned 84 years old, and he is fighting lung cancer. I know that he probably will not be around for our birthday’s to come. I hope and pray that he is, but it just is hard to say, I really enjoyed this birthday with him. As for Monday night we went to Chris’s softball game then ate some dinner. Tuesday I went to lunch with my mom and sister at good old rock creek, and then Weds. was my real birthday. That night Chris’s family took me to Olive Garden for dinner, then baskin robbins for ice cream after. I am so spoiled with gifts every year, my babies spoiled me too this year!! I have a cute husband that of course gives 3 gifts for my birthday now, because Devin and Addison give me each a gift too lol. So between everyone I got over $200 dollars cash, Green Science crème (by Aveda it is the best face product ever), then I got clothes, jewelry, boots, lunches, dinners, gift cards. I mean really you name it I definitely got it!! I almost feel guilty how much I get given constantly really. I feel like Chris and I are given so much all the time, sometimes for just no reason at all. I feel so lucky to have what I have, and would say this has been the best birthday in 27 years!! I have the best things in life that you could ask for: love, happiness, faith, children, a loving husband, a home, and family. What honestly is better than all of that I ask!? Well I have rambled long enough, so please enjoy the pictures below from my 4 day birthday adventure :)…………….. Oh and by the way as if I am not spoiled enough I got to go to San Francisco on July 31st for Chris and I’s 5 year anniversary woo hoo!!! Watch for that post next.
