It's My Party And I'll Blog If I Want To

Is it vain to post about my own birthday?  I just had so much birthday love, and such a nice day, I have to take this opportunity to blog about some of it!  First, I got this in the mail:

A sweet card that made me a little weepy from my missionary boy!  Last year, Colton didn't even mention my birthday.  Which was fine.  Really.  I mean, he's supposed to be focused on the work and all.  But that made this card so unexpected and exciting and made me feel so good!  Then Wes brought home these beauties:

Yeah!  And he smelled good!  And he gave me one of these:

Okay, that's supposed to be a smooch.  I guess it's kind of a scary picture.  Just use your imagination.  Sorry kids.  Then I went to lunch with a few friends on my birthday and got in a temple session in the afternoon.  Wes and Clint had gone up to Scout Camp for the afternoon and evening, and Kori had to work, so I came home to a movie by myself which was actually quite lovely, and THIS was waiting for me:

I mean, seriously.  Can you believe this cake?  Raspberry buttercream with chocolate and almonds.  How can you go wrong with any of that?  Wes had special ordered it and I couldn't believe that it was mine all mine!  Bwa ha ha....  (Okay, I shared)

Oh my yumminess...

THEN, just when I thought things couldn't possibly get any better, my friend RaLee showed up with THIS:

Red velvet, are you kidding me?  And she even got my age right!

Since everyone was gone yesterday, we are headed out to Mo Bettah Steaks tonight for some Hawaiian goodness, and then home to watch Tangled.  Thank you everyone for all the wishes and cards and gifts and birthday love, it was really a fantastic day!
