My Birthday

Well, my birthday was yesterday and I turned "26". I am now officially closer to "30" than "20" and I really don't like the thought of that!!! Anyway, thank the Lord for another year of life!! I had an excellent birthday. I truly felt so incredibly loved! First of all, my grandmother surprised me by bringing me a cherry cheesecake. Yummy!! My mom sent me a card with money. Yipee!! Two aunts and one great aunt wished me a happy day. Then my sweet neighbor brought me some beautiful flowers and a sweet card! I was already feeling soooo overwhelmed with love and then my husband came home. He brought some amazing steaks home and "he" cooked a DELICIOUS dinner. While he was cooking he ran me a bubble bath and I listened to some relaxing music. He kept Ethan so quiet too! It was soooo relaxing and felt so good. Dave stuck a candle in a chocolate lava cake and he and Ethan sang to me. Of course I had tears. It was so sweet. I am going to show you the card that he got for me from Ethan. I thought it was not only perfect, but hilarious!
It's kind of hard to read this so I'll tell you. It says "especially with a kid like me around", then it has this huge white dot springing out that reads"ASPIRIN- 500,000mg"!!!!!!!! SO funny!!!!!!

I am truly so blessed to be alive and so honored to have such loving family and friends in my life. Please pray for me to live closer to and to love my Lord so much that I spend more time with him this year! I have wasted so much of my life and who knows how many more days I have. Life is a vapor that is only here for a little time and then vanishes away...as the Word tells us. Humbling thought as I grow older so quickly!!
