Another Year Blessed

Saturday was my birthday & I figured I would share some pictures of a few goodies I got. On friday we had a cookout with my family & saturday dad, mom, ryan & I went to my favorite restaurant. ..That's right, Olive Garden! Oh how I wished I had one of those in my backyard :p. Afterwards we did what I do best. ..right again, SHOPPING!! I had a wonderful birthday as well as a wonderful weekend. Of course the celebration isn't over just yet. I still got more family to celebrate with, hee hee. Anyways, here's a few birthday goodies I received. ..

My dad & mom got me the GPS you see in the middle(totally awesome! I can so figure out how to get to any shopping center I want now :p ), & the palm tree necklace to the right(gorgeous), shoes, clothes & more clothes which of course are not in the picture because, well they all wouldn't fit in one.(Incase you're wondering, yes, I'm just a tad bit spoiled so we'll go ahead & get that out of the way :p) My aunt & uncle gave me the bracelet you see to the left which is Noah's ark(beautiful) & my very own first apron with Carolina Tar heels on it that you'll see in the next picture! Its just too pretty to use, hee hee. A Sweet friend of mine got me The Bride's Book of Lists(so cute! I absolutely Love it & so excited to use it!), a bookmark with all my favorite accessories. ..shoes & purse's(just too cute!) & a purse hanger(the coolest thing EVER), Another sweet friend of mine gave me the candle you see to the right which is sitting in sand that she scooped up with her own two hands from the beach with seashells around it with a cute lil' bow tied around the holder(just darlin') & a Bookmark as well.(By the way she got engaged on my Birthday too!! How awesome is that!! So Exciting! Congratulations again to the both of you!!)

There's that beautiful Carolina apron of mine, hee hee ;) .. and another sweet friend got me the coolest T-shirt ever with my favorite Disney character on it! Yes, Goofy is the man!! My sweetheart got me seasons 7&8 of the Cosby Show(one of my all time favorite shows to watch & might I add clean considering most everything else on T.V these days is not), a bag full of my favorite kinds of candy .. and the adorable cake box you see in the middle is also what my sweetheart gave me with a very Special Surprise that was in it .. Are you ready to read what was in it? .. my very own VISA CARD that I can use ANYWHERE I WANT!! Can we say .. MORE CLOTHES, I believe we can!!!, Haha.

Last but not least .. My Beautiful Flowers you see below were given to me from the Greatest & most Sweetest Fiance Ever!!
