Spoiled rotten...

So every Christmas and Birthday I usually supply Rusty with a very detailed list of things I would like or need, complete with links to online sites or store names next to an item (I am a little OCD, I swear). And every time he manages to get me things that are more than I asked for and always wanted. He especially loves to surprise me with one big gift, like my sewing machine a few years ago or a table & chairs for Bunco. He is the best. This year was no exception, my boys spoiled me rotten. Some times it pays to be the Princess in the house. That's right, being shipped to my door is the new Video IPod nano! I am so excited! I have never had an IPod and my Mp3 player is several years old and dying from lots of use over the last few years. I am so happy! This was definitely NOT on my list and I was totally surprised! I also got new Nikes for the gym, and from the boys a Pilates ball, mat and other accessories. I got a new Rice cooker/ Steamer as well and I am actually very excited about that one. Hmm, reading that all back I am sensing a theme...maybe someone wants me to work our more...hmmm... This morning Rusty let me sleep in and got the boys breakfast. After picking Braden up from school we went to Cracker's & Co for lunch and Rusty was able to leave work and meet us there. The girls from work brought me by the prettiest flowers and chatted for a minute. This afternoon both boys were good and I even got them to nap at the same time (I love preschool- Braden is spent when he gets home). Tonight after dinner with just Rusty (thanks Mom) I had a few friends and my family over for cake & ice cream. Thanks to everyone who came, it was a rowdy house, but fun. Thanks for all the great cards and gifts! I can't wait to get it all put to good use! Here are just a few fun picts from tonight... (flowers from the office, my cake, 'Unka T' & Bden, Making a wish, Heather & niece Grace, Bden loves the frosting, Olivia Burkinshaw, Me & Meghan, Me & Heather)
Thanks for all the well wishes on my Birthday! I feel so loved! Even my Bishop and State Farm agent called! (Random?!?) It was a really, really great day! Almost good enough to make getting older worth it.
