24th Birthday

I had a great birthday! We were able to spend it with my family in San Antonio. I also recieved so many birthday cards and gifts in the mail and they ALL made it ON MY DAY! Good job! Overall I felt so loved and I am very thankful for all the love in my life.

Neil surprised me with his gift. It was so thoughtful. He got me like 10 cards (all reminding me that I am an old lady compared to him), a birthday girl tiara, and a SET OF ROCKING CHAIRS to grow old in together.

(notice the wrapping paper...cute)

all the cards.

The rocking chairs have to be put together so I'll post when they are done.

My 23rd year was a great one. So many changes and huge life events and a bunch of growth.
