My 27th Birthday

On Wednesday, January 26, I will turn 27 years old...  and it seems like yesterday I was just a child.  Where does the time go?  When did I suddenly become old enough to have a child of my own? 
They say, "time flies when you're having fun," and this is certainly true, but time also marches on more quickly the older I get.    This year, I will experience something I never have before and never will again...  the birth of our first child.  What a blessing!  I must say, #27 is going to be extra special.  I am pleading with time to slow down just a bit this year - and pause at times - so that I can fully enjoy the precious moments soon to come.  :)

I celebrated my birthday with family at Connor's Steakhouse in Huntsville.  Each year's birthday celebration seems better that the last!  I love my sweet family and I am so thankful for all of you. 

The "Happy Birthday" platter is mine this week! :)
Pretty pink roses from Mom and Dad
 

 Allison and Alan gave the perfect gift -- a 1 hour massage and 1 hour facial!  They know how busy life has been lately and have seen how stressful (but fun!) it is to plan for a baby.  They knew just what I needed and I am going to absolutely love being pampered!  Thank you and I am glad y'all were able to celebrate with me!

 I love Granny's homemade chocolate cake more than anything in the world.  So, my birthday cake came straight from her kitchen, topped with 27 candles! 



  
 Wonderful birthday celebration!  Looking forward to an awesome year ahead...
