Birthday Blessings

Last week I had a wonderful birthday. I turned twenty - 20! Can you believe it? I've actually been telling people for the last month that I am 20. You see, when people hear that you are 19 and married they think that is way too young. But if you tell them you are 20, they think nothing of it, or at least not enough to say anything. But it doesn't really matter, I get reminded weekly that I LOOK 15.

I had to take some pictures of some of my favorite gifts because they are just too pretty! Yes, the Starbucks coffee is pretty! I hadn't had Starbucks in months because we are on a budget and Starbucks is not so budget friendly. I had almost convinced myself that coffee-mates peppermint mocha creamer in a cup of coffee was just as yummy as Starbucks peppermint mocha. But I was reminded last night when I used the last of my Starbucks gift card ( my wonderful sister-in-law got me) that nothing could be farther from the truth. That's ok coffee-mate I still love you and will now go back to using you daily. The beautiful flowers are from my sweet friend Marta. I love them, they look like they were made to sit on my dining room table. I would show you but there are alot of other things on that table that do not look like they are made to go there ( aka clutter!) . The last thing in this picture is my new fabulous green purse. I bought it at a yard sale with my birthday money. $3, don't you love it?

Oh, and I had to include a picture of my toes! Marta and Megan took me out to lunch and for a pedicure the day before my birthday. We had a great time and have some great lookin toes to show for it! :)

And last but not least, My amazing husband got me the dishwasher I have been dreaming about for the last year! I was not expecting it at all! He surprises me all the time. I wonder how long before the excitement wears off and I dread doing the dishes again. When I was younger one of my chores was to load and/or unload the dishwasher, and I HATED it! Now, after hand washing every dish for the last year, I look forward to loading and unloading the dishes. I feel likes I've just gained hours of my life back. : D

Thanks to everyone who made my birthday so special :)
