Always A Work In Progress: Birfday!

Today marks my 27th Birthday! In the words of Andy Bernard "Eh Oh!" What's in a number? I have never been one to take the number of years as a factor. I am extremely happy! A number is just a number. I still can't get over how fast a year goes. I don't even remember being 26, hence why I thought I was this year. Oh well. Old age I guess! (Eh oh!) I am very thankful for where I am at and for the people in the my life. God has truly blessed me with an amazing, supportive, beautiful and loving family. Friends, I can't even express my gratitude and love for them!

I woke up bright and early. 4:15am to be exact to a lovely phone call! After a lovely song, at the top of his lungs, I was wide awake! I got ready for work and headed downstairs to finish up. What is that? A guitar? No way! (EH OH!) I turned the corner and there stood a brand new guitar in a stand with my name on it! At first, I didn't know how to react. Them a think squealing and a few "Seriously's" popped out. A long time ago, I had told Michael I wanted a guitar. Once we had Jake and just life happened, I sort of put it on the back burner. We had talked about it a few months ago but not very much. Well, the hubby got me! I was totally shocked! I am so excited!! Now, I just have to pin my dad down to teach me!! Work was good. I only had to work till 12:15! (Eh Oh!) I received some beautiful flowers from my hubby that had a very heartfelt card with them and another from a friend! Some might not understand this but my dad picked out a flower for me. He picked a pink orchid. He said because it was beautifully unique and a little crazy, like me. It still brings a tear to my eye knowing he said that. We had an evening planned with good friends, good food and a good time. Unfortunately that didn't happen. We had over half cancel and we just decided to postpone the whole thing. Most of the food is salvageable. The candy bags will still be there next week! =) We ended up having a good night anyways!! (EH OH!) Spent the night with some of our favorite people. You know those two people you can just always be yourself around and always have a great time with no matter what and they love you no matter what you talk about, what you do, what you say, or what come back you have? Well we have two of them for sure. They are amazing and I couldn't imagine my life without them!! (EH OH!)

Thank you to everyone for the birthdays wishes, texts, calls, and cards. I am extremely blessed to have all of you in my life and I thank God for you everyday!! I am truly blessed!! Thank you all! Much love to you all!!!!

Here are some photos of my surprises!!! They are all cell phone pics! Haha

How my guitar was set up in the morning!
