Happy Birthday to me! I’m so happy my birthday fell on a Sunday this year. Not only did we get to bless Eli at church, but that also meant that our house was super clean and tidy for everyone to come over afterwards.
I woke up to balloons scattered around the house and the sweetest note from Brandon, plus a few presents to open. One being from Andrea, who must have known that I was dying to try my hand at hand-lettering and gave me all the supplies to learn.
Before church, I got to go around and pop all the balloons after finding them. Each one contained a quality about me plus a gift to redeem that went along with that quality. Brandon knows that my love language is time and thoughtfulness and this was no exception. I’m excited to cash in on my gifts throughout this next year. Feeling so spoiled and loved!

All I wanted for my birthday was a family hike and Banbury donuts, which we checked off on Saturday. We hiked to Rocky Mouth Falls in Sandy and it was gorgeous. Brandon packed a picnic lunch for us and the kids liked splashing around the crystal clear water and watching the repellers. I sure love being outdoors with my family. And bonus! Brandon took me to a yard sale on the way home.
