Here's to 31!

Yesterday I celebrated my 31st birthday, or my 2nd anniversary of turning 29. However you wanna look at it. To be honest, my day started out rough. I slept through not one, but two different alarms and woke up at the time I should have been walking out the door to go to work. Yeah. Not a great way to start your day, much less your birthday. Then in the hustle and bustle trying to get out the door, I realized that my sweet little Brutus had tried to bring me a nice birthday present....a dead squirrel. He was so proud when he laid it at my feet. Err..thanks? Then on the drive to work, some chick in a minivan tried to run me off the road and she just barely missed side swiping me. Thank goodness for my super stellar driving skills and a good pair of brakes.

However, my day got better. My sweet friend (and the wife of my boss) Jennifer brought me lunch and a few presents. So I had a nice little break from the stresses of the day. When I got home, I had a really nice surprise waiting for me.

On the back step in the carport (next to the freaky Bentley planter, ha!) was a beautiful bouquet of flowers sent to me by my sweetheart. It was so thoughtful of him, since he was unable to celebrate with me in person since my birthday fell on a Wednesday.

The best surprise of my day was that my sweet father came up to stay with me last night. I wasn't expecting it. My mother was on her way back from Pensacola, so she wasn't able to come see me. But I guess daddy couldn't stand the thought of his baby girl spending her birthday alone. It totally made my day. He even brought my a birthday pie. (and I apologize for these horrible phone pictures!)

I know two little pups that were super excited to see their papa! Especially my father's favorite (heehee) Brutus.

So I had a nice evening spending time with three of my favorite guys.

It was a pretty exhausting day for all! Although it was sad to see my daddy leave this morning, and take the puppies with him. The boys however, seemed super excited to go home and see their Mimi and Oscar and Jack.

So, that was my birthday. Simple and sweet. Perfect.
