My b-day was a fun and full day.

After I finally dragged myself out of bed and out of the house for church I found this package on my car seat, a day #3 gift from Scott during this B-day week. He is so sweet. And if any of you were wondering what kind of gifts we give each other let me tell you how these gifts come about (on Scotts part anyway).

Scott is really good about listening to me... not just hearing but actually listening, what I mean is since I met him he has this little portion of his brain that is reserved for my personal wish list. For example, months ago I was talking about how I wanted an apron bc I ruin all my clothes when I cook.... and into the wish list portion of his brain my wish went while I went along my way cooking and messing up my clothes.... Not to mention a few months before we were at Bed Bath and Beyond and I was looking at a mat for the kitchen and he casually asked if I liked any of the patterns on the wall of kitchen towels, I answered and went on my way.

Who would have known all these months later I would open this gift

to find: an apron in the pattern that I said I liked.

Our b-day week gifts are always small tokens. Things that we would like to have but would never buy for our selves... things like a pretty computer bag, itunes $, an apron.. little things that mean the world.

Yesterday was my official bday and it was a great day.

I arrived at church to be showered in love, cards and little tokens of love and appreciation from everyone - one of my favorite moments was the 2 little beauties waiting for me to give me a card they picked themselves

and a gift bag with 2 of my very favorite things: A scarf and a purse... Love it! Emily and Haley are such beautiful and awesome, kind-hearted little girls.

Scott and I adore them so much. They always brighten up our sundays and wednesdays and when we get to babysit them too... They are the daughters of Pastor Travis and Jessica, such cutie-pies!

Awe, we love them so much!

Then, as we were dismissed to go to youth class I walked through the door to the youth singing happy birthday and instead of a cake they had a blueberry muffin with a candle in it :)

A muffin since it was barely 10 am, I loved it, it was so thoughtful. They also decorated the media area where I sit and work the music and the powerpoint and all of that stuff. They gave me a super sweet and funny b-day card.

Then to top the evening off, I was able to have dinner at my favorite restaurant Morelia off of 79 with some of my favorite people, my in-laws. Before heading home we went to one of my favorite places, BEST BUY! To spend some b-day cash on a back up drive I have been needing for a while.

Not to mention the dog that has been barking for 5 weeks finally silenced this weekend! YAY!!!

WHAT A GREAT b-day!

Thanks everyone! I am blessed.

5 fish and a turtle; Day #2

So this morning was day #2 of my birthday week and my hubby is the best!

He asked what I would like to do for my bday and wouldnt you know it, my answer was fishing. I love fishing in our special spot and though the weather was windy in Round Rock when we arrived in Bastrop the weather there was perfect. Not hot. There was a light cool breeze and the water was perfect. Though our typical spot was already taken by a family we found another spot on the opposite side of the lake. It was a really cute area with a huge tree and under it in the shade was a small wooden bench just on the bank of the lake. Too cute.

But, before we left I opened the car door to find this package sitting on the seat,

it was a small token of love from my sweetheart.

Then of course we packed some sandwiches and had an amazing day fishing and relaxing, it was one of those days were you think to yourself "does it get any better than this". This time of togetherness and relaxtion was long over due.

We arrived home in the evening to have a dinner and some cake. My sweetheart made me my favorite cake (in the whole wide world) and he made it all from scratch, even the frosting was from scratch- it was so yummy!

This bday week is starting off so awesomely!

Maybe baby boy will come this week and make it the perfect b-day week.

Have a great day everyone.

Missa
