Happy 39th Birthday to me!

Reid and I before our Saturday night date to Olive Garden


Reid got me some cute jeans for my birthday!


The Conovers got me a cute saying that says "Money can't buy happiness, that's what shoping is for." With some cash, which I used to buy some new garments!


Reid got me a blue tooth, since we are always on the phone with each other!



Yummy strawberry cake! I also got a 1 night stay in a hotel room from Reid's parents, how fun is that! I am so excited to use it.

The Anglins got me a new shirt and some jewelry


Yummy cake at my parents house- I think I gained 5 lbs in a day.


The Sargents got me some earrings and a new purse

Reid and the kids got me a new purse


The Beck's got me some shirts and a pair of capris
I also got a Kindle Fire-from my parents (if I ever get a chance to use it I will be excited, Reid and the kids love playing with it), a nights stay in a hotel room from Reid's parents, and The Williams's family got me some exercize pants and the NieNie diaries book. So excited to read it!

I may seem like a bit of a narcisist to be posted about my own birthday, but honestly I don't care if anyone ever reads my blog. I just got my 2010 and 2011 blog books and I love them, and it was a good reminder about why I blog, it is simply my family journal and scrapbook and so I want to document all I can. I now have 4 years worth of blog books and they are so fun to look at.

This year I turned 39! I don't feel one bit ashamed of getting older, I am not at all worried about turning 40. I feel like I am in a good place in life, I am healthy, I am happily married to a great guy and I have 4 great kids that are growing up way to fast. I am proud of the stage of life I am in.
This year for my birthday I really got spoiled. Reid took me out to the Olive Garden for dinner on Saturday night, just him and I and it was really nice. After that we went to walmart- pretty romantic isn't it. Then we picked up a movie from Red Box and came home and watched it with the kids.


On Sunday we slept in and then watched conference (I love conference sunday!) I loved all the messages from conference and felt like many of the talks were written and given directly for me personally. Then we went to Reid's parents house and had lunch with them and celebrated my birthday with a little party.



Then we watched the afternoon session of conference with Reid's parents and Lori and her kids and then we went over to my parents house for dinner and another birthday party. ( I said that I was spoiled.) It was really nice! And then the spoiling continued on Monday when I went to work and had some more fun presents from co-workers. I feel very blessed and loved.

Rachel, there is no shame about making 1 entry out of 100 about you. I love your blog and agree that it is an incredible sense of accomplishment to have it as a family journal and scrapbook. Keep up the good work. And you totally deserve to be spoiled!
