It’s been a fabulous birthday. Aaron took all of the children to school and I took myself to the temple for the 8am endowment session. We had lunch at Gusanos with Reese.
When I got home from the temple, Reese had come over and cleaned up the mess from the morning rush. I like to say that my love languages are homemade cookies (or bread!), concert tickets, and people cleaning up after themselves. 😂 Reese arrived with a wrapped present to boot! When’s the last time I unwrapped something? I felt super special. She and Logan gave me the cutest candle holder ever. I always gave a candle burning and now it can sit on top of little garden beets. I die.
Corbin bought me the purple tulips after school. This was a big and welcome surprise!
Kasey came over with yellow tulips and a little blue tooth clip on speaker so I can garden or talk on the phone while gardening or hiking without earbuds. Excited to try these! We slipped out for a taco while my boys were at soccer and caught up on all the things. Shown in the background are cookies and note from our friend Kurt, who ministers to our ward with birthday cookies for every ward member. Everyone. I can’t even keep up with bdays just in my family, abd he brings a plate to every one in the sugar creek ward in their birthday. This is extra appreciated as a connoisseur of delicious cookies.
Also shown are the cookies made by Sloane and Esme at Grammies house. So much love!
I got a string of bday texts and some photos from Ryan in Guanzhou 
Sloane made me a poster of my favorite things 😍
Reese’s bday tribute on Instagram stories was a series of throwback pics. I love the thoughtful and intentional way she loves.
I don’t know where she got her hands on this pic of me in high school! 😂
Love you too, Pieces!
Today, my mom is taking me to have my nails painted, and I have lunch with Tiffany scheduled for Monday. The party never stops around here!
It is a gift to be alive and have so many people to love and be loved by.
