My 37th Birthday


Friday was my 37th birthday and my husband, family and friends made it very special!  I thought I would share all the nice things of my day.

The first nice thing was a morning out by myself.  


I wore my new top picked out by Sierra and my bracelet made by Autumn. :)


I had my free breakfast Grand Slam at Denny's - it was delicious!  Especially because I didn't have to cook it or do the dishes afterwards. 


I also enjoyed my favorite drink from Starbucks for my free birthday drink...a salted caramel mocha frappaccino.  


Papa Vern sent me these beautiful roses - yellow roses are my favorite flower. :)


My sister, Rhoda, gave me this beautiful necklace.


My sister, Rachel, gave me this awesome infinity scarf.  I love infinity scarves!


 A friend, Jenny, gave me this yummy Yankee candle.


Another friend, Shannon, gave me this Starbucks card. :)


My husband took me to this little restaurant on Lake Tahoe - gorgeous!  We had this delicious appetizer of ahi.  Mmm!


Then a delicious chicken sandwich plate...


The view from our table...



Taking a stroll on the restaurant's dock.


Wearing one of my new outfits from my husband for my birthday...and my new coat that I bought with my birthday money from my parents!  (The coat was $200 at Penney's...got it for $26.97!)  


Crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe...

After dinner, we walked Tahoe City and enjoyed the evening.  We then came home and enjoyed a kid-free night - and watched the new movie "Frozen" and ate cherry vanilla ice cream out of the container with two spoons. :)

 So thankful for my husband who used his wedding money to make my birthday extra special and for my girls for all the homemade cards and gifts.  I am blessed. Happy Sunday!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."  Psalm 27
