Happy Birthday to Me!!

I spent my 26th birthday in a lovely, sugar-filled haze, full of singing children, butter cream icing, and the color brown!! David, as instructed by myself, got me home items. I love the very practical, but very cute (and very needed!) chocolate sheets for our guest room. I know it is not 'romantic', but I asked for it, because it was practical, and let's face it people- new sheets are not cheap anymore! He also got me Paul Simon's latest release (We LOVE Paul Simon!!!), and some Hobby Lobby goodies. His card was so sweet, and what was written inside made me blush (mushy, romance stuff!) My granny bought me a cute shadowbox scripture wall art piece, and my parents bought me a little lamp for my bathroom counter that matches what I have going on in the bedroom. My dad gave me a cute mini reading clip light (So perfect for me!!) My parents really went over the top and returned to my professional photographer and got ALL of my wedding negatives as a surprise gift! I can now take them and make as many reprints or enlargements as I want. He signed off and gave them copyright permission! I couldn't be more thrilled! Wow!! Thanks, mom and dad, for going above and beyond what I could imagine as a surprise gift! They also made "Jessica Chicken", which is my favorite dinner (prepared by my dad, which is a knock-off recipe of a fav' Mexican restaurant of ours.) I had a very happy 26th birthday! Thanks to everyone for the emails, early morning phone calls, late evening phone calls, cards, and warm wishes!
