39

 Gorgeous flowers from my gorgeous girls, 

 a sweet card from my sweetheart, 

a wonderful surprise from some wonderful friends, 

 and a delicious cake made for a stellar day! 

Thank you to everyone for the calls, texts, Facebook posts, hugs, cards and gifts! Your sweet words, generosity and love made my birthday so very, very special! As I begin the final year of my 30s (or as I like to call it the fourteenth anniversary of my twenty-fifth birthday) I am finding the words in this post and this so very spot on. I'm excited for all that's in store for me during this next trip around the sun, and I am so very grateful to have such a wonderful family and incredible friends to share this journey with! xo
