Memories Worth Having

Today was my birthday! Another year down and another to go! :) I will admit that I don't feel any different. I guess that is good. 26 is a good age. Just like 25 was.

It was a quiet day. Kinda peaceful. But still full of memories. You see, I have the best family in the world, who made me feel loved in many ways on this 26th year of my life. My mom and dad drove all the way up just to have lunch with me. It was so good to see them and just sit down and talk. I truly enjoyed their company. They got here, looked at my new house and my new studio set up. Mom made some suggestions and we made a couple changes. Then she gave me some birthday presents! :) Tee hee! Some new clothes and a popcorn bowl! I LOVE it! I have been searching high and low for one. You see, I am a popcorn fanatic.

Then we went to Ihop and just talked and talked and talked. They left town 3 hours after arriving. And I went on with my day!

My sister, Sheri sent me a gift card for Crate and Barrel. I love Crate and Barrel---because I truly can be a homey person. I love kitchen stuff! :)

This morning I called home to remind everyone that it was my birthday. (As if they forgot). But nevertheless I called! :) Told mom and dad I had cut my hair and was wearing a new outfit.

Stacye texted the birthday song to me! I love it when she sings to me over the phone in text messages. I have no doubt that she sings a long with it too! :0 Quite beautifully I might add! :)

Yes, I have the best family in the world. What a different, but memorable way to celebrate my birthday! What love! I am so blessed. What memories!

I still have a party to go! :) With friends. I have wonderful friends too, as you can see. They sure know how to make someone not feel alone. I love them all for it!

Happy Birthday, Me!
