Happy 2-9!

Happy 2-9 to me!! And holding :) 

I had a great birthday yesterday. Jordan turned around his 'it's just another day' point of view and made it a rather special day for me :)

He and Lilly Scott concocted plans and surprises for a couple weeks. It was so cute watching her excitement over surprising me. I love that girl. 

The morning started with a couple texts from early rising friends, and Lilly brought me a bracelet she made. Jordan said she was up at 6:15 making the bracelet. What a sweet heart she has?! 

Jordan told me to be ready by noon for lunch with friends. I asked about the kids, and he said someone would be there to watch them. My anxiety started as I am apprehensive to leave my kids with anyone, really, but especially if I don't know who it is. Jordan told me to 'have faith' and I realized my control issues were at play here a bit also. Low and behold, at 11:30 the sitter walks in- Jordan! He was carrying balloons and a dairy/soy free birthday cake! 

 

I went to lunch with one of my favorites, Aimee, and then I went on a coffee date with Mary. 

Toward dinner time, I headed home to find Jordan and the kids waiting to eat one of my favorites- shredded pork tacos. It's a super easy crock pot meal I started that morning. 

Then we had songs, pictures, and a cake. 

I am so blessed to have such amazing family and friends. And Jordan- thank you. You truly are the love of my life. 

as always,
