Happy Birthday to me!

I can't believe I'm another year older. It is crazy to think I am only 1 year away from being 5 years away from being 30!!! lol. I don't feel old enough to be 24...oh well, guess I am. My birthday was Thursday and we really didn't do a whole lot to celebrate but it was still great! :) Dillon did take me to Arby's, which means a lot considering Dillon does NOT like Arby's and I love it!!! But other than that we just hung out with each other! That night Dillon made me some cupcakes and let me blow out candles and open presents.I also got a fishing license and some underwear! Mini Cadbury eggs, Special K cereal, a fishing license and underwear....what more could a girl possibly ask for when she is a poor grad students wife???? :)

Friday we made the trek to Antartica...I mean Star Valley....to celebrate with my family. For those that don't know, I share a birthday with my dad. Growing up it was a birthday tradition to have chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and mud pie! I haven't gotten to enjoy that birthday tradition since I left home so I made a simple birthday request and TADA!
My dad and me with our helpers since there were 80 candles to blow out since my dad is so OLD! :)Me and my present-open-uper-helper :)
I got spoiled again and got more chocolate, some money and this amazing necklace...
"i can do hard things" has kinda been my motto/motivation to make it through this fertility journey we have been battling for so long. Since my birthday also doubled as my due date for my miscarriage, this necklace was the most PERFECT present I could have received this year. THANK YOU MOM!!!

I also got some more money and a lunch/shopping date with my mom-in-law and sister-in-laws for this weekend! All in all it was a very good birthday and I got nice and spoiled!! :)

I hope you had a wonderful birthday! It was great having you here with us as always. And I have perfect faith in you that you can do hard things. You've proven that true, and if you ever feel like you can't make it thru, just touch that necklace to know that you can. I Love you so much and wish I could just take all your pain away. Wow, and can I just say, can't believe your a yr away from being 5 yrs away from 30! LOL
