A very happy birthday!

Thank you, God, for the wonderful people you have brought into my life. There are times where I feel so terribly old. Partly because of circumstances and partly because that's just who I am. I'm too serious for my own good. I started out yesterday in a not-so-good mood because I wasn't so sure I was looking forward to the concept of being 26. The actual age isn't that old but this is completely not where I pictured myself being at 26. Then I got this hilarious e-card from my beautiful sister-in-law that made me completely crack up. Not just me but all 3 of my kids. This brightened my day. Then the mail came with 2 packages from my sister. Then I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a balloon from my extravagantly sweet sister. Not 5 minutes after that I got another bouquet from 8 of the sweetest people I've ever worked with. It ended with a completely cute outfit from my mom along with a good meal that I didn't have to cook or clean up after. The funny thing is: I don't think it was things I got although they were all extremely wonderful. I think it was more just knowing how much the people I love, love me too. Not that I didn't already know. It just reminded me of what wonderful people God has blessed me with having in my life. These are the people who have kept me smiling through the past year so I guess it's only appropriate that these are the people who made this birthday one of the best I can remember. I love you all!! Thank you for everything.
