my day

So, today is my day. My birthday!!! It started off wonderfully... with a phone call from my wonderful mother-in-law and then I headed to work. At work today we had a "celebration" for my birthday and our head Sr. tech's birthday (which is Monday). It was a finger food theme. Some seriously yummy food here, people!!




My bff, Christie, decorated my desk with streamers and balloons and confetti!! So very festive!!




She then of course took birthday pictures with me.



I was given a card from our department and a gift from my family (not blood but still family). I was given a multi-pack of make-up bags and make-up brushes. I was thrilled!!! Also they gave me a card that is just adorable and it sings the song "Thank you for being a friend". You remember... the song from the Golden Girls... Ah, I love that show to this day!!




I was brought flowers by the woman who holds it all together here at the office. She is wonderful by the way! My sister-in-law and brother-in-law sent me a basket of beautiful flowers and my hubby and son sent me a HUGE arrangement of amazingly beautiful roses and daisies!! Daisies are my absolute favorite flower and mixed with the deep red roses... ah, it's just breathtaking!!




Then a bit of light shopping during my lunch hour. While out and about, my mother-in-law brought my son to find me!! He brought me a cake with buttercream frosting (my FAV!!!) and a sweet card with balloons and a gift from him. It was a very pretty necklace/bracelet set. He is such a good, sweet and thoughtful kiddo. I love him!!! Once back at work and about to head to a looong 2 hour meeting, I got a text from the hubby saying that it was puppy time. Let me fill you in... our sweet little baby girl, Missy, is pregnant. We knew it was almost time and yes, on my birthday she is having her puppies!!! Only one has been born so far and I am so excited!! It's been a wonderful day so far and it's only half over!!!!

birthday gift #1

Last Tuesday evening as I was getting things lined out at home and packing for our vacation, my husband came home with dinner and my birthday gift! It was all wrapped up in pretty pink paper with a bright multi-colored bow on top!! I was like a little kid... so excited and couldn't wait to tear into it.

Seeing as it was a week and a half early I asked why I got it then? He said he wanted me to have it for vacation.

I gently tore the paper away from the square box and inside..... a CANON Rebel!!! I was so excited but very astonished that I was holding this camera. I wanted a 'nicer' camera than what I had but I had never imagined anything like this.

I still don't know a lot about it but got some good practice on vacation.

I have a wonderful hubby!!

surprise!

Yesterday was my most wonderful aunt's birthday. It wasn't just any old birthday... it was her 50th!!!! I have been so blessed to have her as my aunt for my whole life and I am SO thankful for her. She has been a huge role model for me and I will be forever grateful for the things she has done and the contributions she has made to my life.
I was very fortunate to be part of a surprise party for aunt Sherra last night in Ardmore. We ate at the Santa Fe Cattle Co. and she had no idea we were all going to be there. It was so much fun and wonderful to see the surprise on her face! I truly hope that she had a great time. I know I sure did! I was bummed that my hubby didn't get to go (he had to work late) but Tyler went with me. We were not able to chat with aunt Sherra much but we got to sit and eat with my amazing grandpa and grandma. I love them!!!!
Camera is still on the blink so I didn't get any pics but wanted to share about my wonderful evening.
