Mama is 32.

Well the time has come for me to turn 32.  I have to say I don't like the number, but all the blessings I have now are more than they ever were at 22!  I had a great day and felt very special all day long.

Neil got up and made pancakes for the boys and me.  What a great breakfast to start my day!

I got home one day during my birthday week and Rebecca had left a special surprise on our table!  Buttercups Birthday Cake cupcakes and a fun hair book.  I love fancy hair, but I just don't know how to do it!

I was super thrilled when a student walked in to my classroom with flowers for me!  Leslie sent them to me and I felt so special!  

If that wasn't enough, Neil brought me lunch and a cute little plant to school for my 22 minute break that day.  The bell rang and I had to kick him out as I got ready for my next class.  Thanks, Honey!

Sister Emily Douglas sent me this sweet picture of a beach trip we took in college.  Man, we looked good.  Well I am the only one who doesn't look the same...everyone else still looks fabulous!  I loved seeing this picture...memories!

We ate at Abby Singer's for my birthday dinner so I could make it to Bible study.  It was a fun, quick dinner.

 I felt soooooooooooooooo special the entire day!  I love birthdays!

Mom and Dad each sent me an Edible Arrangement

Becky got me the most gorgeous and delicious cake for my birthday. 

 We did call-ahead seating at Outback and apparently they don't understand what that means.  We waited with 2 kids for 30 minutes and then spent 2 hours eating.  I was so worried that everyone was annoyed the whole time.  The boys did a great job! No fits and they stayed in their seats the whole time!

Andrew showed up with gifts from Japan!  Bennett loved his helmet.  And watching movies on Nana's phone.
