My birthday fell on a Sunday this year. When we decided to move to California, I looked at the calendar and I told Mike that I did NOT want to move on the weekend of my birthday. He agreed and we started planning. Of course, it only made sense to move on July 18th and so we would be moving for my birthday. At first I was really bummed, but then the more I thought about it, the more I thought it wasn't so bad. I was getting to have my family all around me all weekend, I was getting a new apartment for my birthday, and I was getting a fresh new start on a new adventure. I really wasn't expecting anything big, but my family surprised me in so many ways. On the 17th, Chaney came over and asked if she could throw me a little party. That was so sweet and I started crying. We just had family over for cake and ice cream and it was perfect. 
(my frog candle)Mom took me shopping for a new dress to wear. my dear friend, Caroline, sent me with a present and with a goody bag for the kids in the car. On Sunday morning, Mom and Dad took the boys out so we could sleep in and then we met them for breakfast at IHOP. I love breakfast foods, so this was perfect. Mom also went grocery shopping for me and bought me an ice cream cake and candles. Randall, his friends, Mike and the boys all helped me celebrate. It was a great day. Don't think Mike forgot though. He let me buy all of my gifts before my birthday. What a great husband! Please ignore that I looked terrible in the pictures and let's just chock it up to being exhausted from moving, shall we? Thank you everyone for a wonderful birthday!
