my birthday weekend was super busy. on saturday, the 4th, a friend of my mom's threw me a pre-wedding party. it was fun because i got to dress up all pretty and that's really when it hit me that i'm going to be a bride in just a few short weeks. there was some dancing and music, but mostly just hanging out with lovely friends of mine. :)
the day before my birthday, though, i walked to the mail box for the millionth time that day to finally receive a very special package in the mail. my birthday present from the fiance. as always, he surprised me with some amazing presents. the most special thing about the gifts he sends me though, is that they're all chosen by just him. whether it's make up, clothes, or pretty jewelry. he never fails to amaze me with the things he picks out for me, and i love him for the effort he puts in. to better explain how i feel about him, i'll just that he's my favorite person. like, ever. :)
here's a small part of the lovely package. it's tiny in size, but i swear it means more to me than anything:
later that night, right at 12 o'clock, when it was finally my birthday, i got another surprise. first off, let me just say that i have some of the best friends ever. these girls are more like sisters to me. and i feel super blessed to have had so many memories with them. so these amazing friends of mine showed up at my door with a small birthday cake and candles and these really yummy cookies.
we did the whole midnight surprise last year for everyone's birthdays but i was sure we wouldn't keep up our little tradition this year. i'm glad they did though because this is just one more memory that i can store in the back of my mind forever. thank you to everyone who made my weekend so memorable. and here's to another year that i hope will be filled with blessings and happiness and more unforgettable moments. here's to the future. :)
