So did I mention I have the best friends in the world. Not only did they give me a surprise birthday party and gifts but the best gift was this: 2 printed out calendar pages with names filled in for days that they would make dinners for my parents and take some of the load off me! God is good! How lucky am I!!! Thanks you guys! (thats me in the black!)

So two really nice things happened to me today. First of all, my dear friend Vicki and her daughter, Meagan (who is my mom's caregiver) left me a Birthday Week Riddle at my mom's so when I got there this morning there was a riddle and I had to solve it and find a gift. It was so fun and the gift was a gift certificate to my hairstylist! And they are doing something everyday until my birthday next week!! SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

Then I came home from my mom's and there was a box in the mail. This wonderful blogger artist lady named Marilou (Lulus Lovlies) who I don't know, never met and just commented back and forth once or twice on our blogs sent me 24 old spice tins to make my pumpkin folks out of!!! What a surprise!!! What a NICE PERSON!!!

And let me say that God is Good! I needed these nice people and things as this has been a rough couple days in the mom/dad world....sometimes I lose my mind. And those of you who know me, know that I LOVE MY BIRTHDAY! I LOVE PRESENTS! and am not afraid to say it! I just don't love my age.....
