Happy Birthday to Me!

Ok, so I'm not posting this on my actual birthday. On my birthday (Wednesday) I took Skyeler to her first training of the year at the camp, brought her home and put her to bed (because she had caught the same cold that Aly had), cleaned up and disinfected so Dan wouldn't catch it when he got back from his trip, and then went to church to help Pastor Wes and Peggy pack up their moving van. We had already decided to celebrate on Thursday since Dan was getting back too late to celebrate Wednesday. Sharon and I spent some time walking the nature trails and sitting by the lake at the camp, which was a nice way to spend some of my birthday. Although a water snake invaded the peace and quiet by sticking his little head up in the lake right in front of me. Eek!

Dan surprised me by bringing home some birthday presents. Vera Bradley stuff! I was so surprised :) I do LOVE surprises :) Dan took the day off on Thursday and Aly pestered him till he took her out to get me a birthday present. If you know Aly, you know she has a one-track mind :) She had an idea of what she wanted to get me and wouldn't rest till she got it. I was thrilled with my Twilight books! She read my reading journal and knew which books I liked best! We went out to lunch at Red Lobster and got my ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. All in all a wonderful day! I enjoyed the time spent with Dan and the girls.


I'll have to take a picture of my Vera Bradley stuff: a large cosmetic bag and a curling iron cover for my hair straightener, and a mini hipster.


Here's Aly and me with the presents she got me...
