Twenty-Six

I just want to do a quick blog post about my 26th birthday! My parents came into town to visit and celebrate the weekend after my birthday (since the actual day fell in the the middle of the week). Friday night my parents tagged along with Miguel and me to a work event. The event was a silent and live auction/dinner to raise money for our Priceless Gifts Campaign. I'm so glad my parents were able to attend. We had a blast and I enjoyed introducing my co-workers to my family. My parents won some fun items including a vacation rental property for a week on Prince Edward Island! Can't wait to take that trip with family! I'm going to pretend I'm Anne (that's Anne with an E) while I'm up there! A friend of mine, Izzy, generously donated a photography session for the auction and my parent's won it as an anniversary gift for Miguel and me! We are super pumped! You should totally check out her work!! (Is 26 too old to say words like "totally"?)


I feel completely overwhelmed with love from my friends and family! I got spoiled with lots of cards and gifts and even two birthday cakes! Miguel surprised me with a cake from my favorite bakery (YUM)! My co-workers also brought an amazingly delicious cake to work to celebrate and they even decorated my desk too! 

 

I also love how everyone embraced my princess-themed birthday! Look at all these pink, girly, glittery, cards I received! =)


Like I previously said, I am overwhelmed with how blessed I am in my family, friends, and co-workers! I got totally spoiled! I want to brag about all the cool gifts I received but will limit myself to two (because these took cool pictures)...

Amy was so kind and brought me a beautiful hanging plant for our patio. I love this! It makes me happy every time I see it! You can see it from our family room which is an extra plus!


I also opened this cute wooden block that says, "All you need is love... and a DOG"! LOVE it!!!! I wish so badly I could say I remember who gave this to me (if you did please, please let me know!!!). I was too eager opening all my gifts that I was a bad birthday girl and didn't keep track of what came from who... sorry! 


I am so blessed. I thank God for 26 wonderful years and pray that the next 26 bring more blessings and joy and that I learn to love God more deeply!

OH! And Happy National Princess Week! Remember... Princess is a state of mind! ;)
