After knit me

Quick self portrait on the way home. My feet are tired tonight so the seconds it took to stop and pose were welcomed.

Peeking

They stapled the top up so my cake flowers didn't get squoosh. I asked for a couple flowers and it's beautiful. ... And yes, i'm bringing my own cake to my party. That way i get to choose! :)

Testing chairs

At Fry's, we 'tested' out chair while resting my feets. And found great things we needed, so it was a successful trip.

happy day to me!

It's April 25, which is one of my favorite days of the year :)  I've always enjoyed April because spring is such a beautiful time (even though this year has featured a lot of hail and even snow which is odd for our area!).  The whole month of April, I get excited for my birthday.  It's not because I want presents, or even cake (but yummmm, cake), it's just a fun time to enjoy celebrating my favorite things.

We are headed on an adventure today.  This is the third year in a row that Eric and I be spending some time together visiting places and stores we enjoy (here's last years post).  I've been collecting a small list on my whiteboard of things I'd like to look at when going to places like the Container Store that we don't normally get a chance to go to.  But really, it's about a day with E, I've been looking forward to this :)

This weekend, we'll get together with my family on Sunday and have a party.  It's more fun to have the kids around for a party, so we are waiting till Sunday night when they are available, and I couldn't be happier about that.

Update on our "remodeling": I've been slowly working on getting my craft room in order, and I could actually sit in there and do a project now, things are so nice and put together.  The office needs decorations still but everything else is done.  The blank walls make it hard to take pictures though, so I'm waiting!

Oh, and I put my last year's birthday banner back up on the blog.  I didn't get a chance to make cupcakes this week, but we slowly divied up the leftover cheesecake from Sarah's party to last the whole week! 

I feel blessed today, and I can't wait to enjoy the coming day.
