........25.........

I wanted to post yesterday, but didn't get around to it. 

Yesterday was my birthday.

My 25th birthday to be exact.

I have yet to celebrate in any big way. 

So far...

The girls at my work surprised me with donuts on Thursday morning.  Yummy.

A little girl at school told me that my dress was "very, very beautiful."

My wonderful husband that knows me all too well surprised me with this...

I was so SO in LOVE with the wrapping paper.  To me it was farrrrr better than any fancy paper, ribbon, bow, etc. that he could have purchased at the store.  I liked how personal (and messy) it was.

Perfect gift.  Smells delicious.  Makes me feel special.

All of my family texted or called to wish me a happy day.  It was special.  Especially when my sister put Miss Ava on the phone.  I got to hear that precious little voice.  That in itself was a great gift.  Love her.

I got some gift cards and some cash, so I did a little shopping last night.  Got a new dress for a wedding next weekend!

 

Speaking of next week...

I GET TO SEE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!

We are traveling to LA next week.  I told Justin a while back that all I wanted for my birthday was to see my loved ones.  I didn't need a tangible gift.  Just my family.  And being the awesome hubby that he is, he is making my dream come true :) :) :)  I have missed them so much.

 

I'm not exactly where I thought I would be, nor have I done everything I wanted to do by the time I turned 25.  My life has not gone according to my plan.  But, I'm okay with that.  I know that I'm where I am supposed to be according to HIS plan. 

So, happy birthday to me!

Happy Belated Birthday!!!!

I know what you mean about things not "going according to your plan"...but, you are absolutely right....it's not our plan...it's His! And, that is greater than anything we can possibly imagine!

Best wishes and hope you are having a wonderful Sunday!
