My 23rd Birthday

Wow! Where does the time go? It's so funny because back in August, Tim and I were out celebrating our year anniversary (of dating of course) and were talking about birthdays. I was excited because I thought I was turning 22 this year...Tim then corrected me and needless to say, I felt really stupid. But it was hilarious. I did have my 23rd birthday on the 10th and it was great! It was the first birthday in many years that I was not studying for a final or having to take one so that was a nice change. It was also the first birthday I think I've worked on. I usually have it off to study...Anywho, I went to work and the kiddos made me cards and sang me happy birthday. :) It was super sweet. They actually thought that it was still my birthday the next day. :) I got off an hour early and went home to get ready for dinner. As I'm getting ready, Tim gets home and makes me stay upstairs. When I'm ready, I come downstairs to beautiful flowers and a present inside a Spider-man bag. :) :) :) Tim got me a Packers beanie like I've been wanting and a gift card to a store in the mall called Angels. I never shop there because I'm afraid I'd spend too much money. But now I have an excuse to go in there and only spend what's on my gift card.

Our house has been decorated for Christmas since the weekend following Thanksgiving and I can't wait for it to get here! My parents and in-laws will be at our house Christmas morning and then we'll be going caroling at a local nursing home. :) I'm so excited!! And it's finally getting warmer and actually above freezing so that's a nice change. :)

I have spent the first half of my day baking cookies and then napping and watching football. I now have to go get ready for church. :) Talk to you soon!
