Wow, this one was unforgettable! I woke up to a happy birthday text from my mama (she is learning to text, so it still feels strange to get one, but always puts a smile on my face) and it really set my day! I forgot to get the card in the mail, but I am saving that for today so I still have something left to open! Chad just told me where our mailbox is last night, so I will grab it on my way to work this morning (sorry mom).
When I walked into my room at school it was beautifully decorated! I was shocked when I looked at the board and saw that Celeste and Laken had contacted one of my teammates (thanks Rooks) and had her help the night before to decorate! Brought some happy tears and made me realize that these two ladies are so special to me (they were before, but I think it just made me love them even more)! They totally threw me off, as they text me at like 5:45 in the morning and had plans of coming back to school to visit yesterday...so I was not expecting what they did at all! Thanks again ladies for making my birthday so special!
Then, during my second hour, which isn't until about 1pm, I got the most beautiful bouquet of pink and yellow roses (think they were long stem)! They smell so good! Chad is so good about the flowers and always makes sure they are beautiful! I am a lucky girl for sure!!! The office ladies are jealous and teased me when they called to have someone walk down to get them for me! They told her to tell me they were from them! HA! The were wondering what I had done to get flowers twice this month!?
I got showered with text messages and phone calls all day with birthday wishes - thank you to everyone who sent them my way! Each one was special to me!
When I got home from work, Kyan and Lola got me a singing dog card (I know I get a singing card if it is from Kyan...they are his favorite) and some scisscors to cut fabric with! Then it was off to the store by my house to get my new sewing machine!!! The plan was to go as a family, but the kids were being crazy, so Chad told me to go pick the one I wanted! Woohoo! I spent way too much money, but get free lessons on how to use the thing for as long as I own the machine. I went to a locally owned place in Goodyear and they were sweet ladies who are so excited to teach me! I went in there pretty clueless (and I told them that)!
Then it was back to the house for some dinner that my dad brought home! Ah-So!!! So delicious! I think my dad was surprised at well much Kyan loves it too and eats with his chopsticks! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you everyone for making #29 amazing! Love you!
This one is blurry, but it says it all - whatever Kyan does, Lola does too!
Lola loves to snuggle up on her brothers bed and watch movies with him! Finally caught a picture of them this morning! On the big (or not so big) screen: The Lion Kyan!
Wearing anyone's shoes but her own...they are laying around, she will find them and put them on her own feet! Today, she found mine!
And necklaces! I had to buy her her own so that she will stop stealing mine! This is her favorite, it is a silver chain with a big pink heart on the end!
Cheese! My beauty!
and Hers closets! Notice that mine is so much cleaner! The nice thing is that I don't care - I just shut the door!
This is the weird circle room at the top of the stairs! It is in the works, for now, the telescope and a love seat are keeping it warm!
That is it for now! I am always doing something it seems like in the house, but for just being here for a little under three weeks - I say, "not bad!" I am truly lucky to be living in my dream home and Chad and I find ourselves saying often how much we love it here!
