Happy Birthday to Me!

Yaaayy! I'm not a teenager anymore! Last week was my 20th birthday, and Chris and I went home for the weekend. It was so fun! We stayed at the Condie's, and I woke up to DELICIOUS waffles and strawberries (Thanks so much Linda!). All of Steff and Andi's kids made me an awesome birthday card. Tom and Linda gave me this neat little food storage starter kit which will come in so handy when we can start building that up, Steff made me some adorable cloth table napkins to match our kitchen perfectly, Chris gave me my newest favorite movie (P.S. I love you, we watched in on our honeymoon) and this crazy little wire head scratcher that feels SO good! It's like candy for the scalp! Best of all, Chris VOLUNTARILY went shopping with me!!!! I love the clothes, but the best part is just that he came with me! It was so fun!
Later that night, we went over to my parents house for a birthday/Mother's Day celebration. We gave mom our mother's day present, and Dad gave her the presents he got for her (he really did pick some great things!) Mom and Dad gave me a......(drum role please.......) SEWING MACHINE!!!! WOOHOOOO! This is so exciting! I have a hard time finding skirts long enough, now...not a problem! Home decorations are expensive to buy, not anymore! Pajama pants that are never long enough....never again!!!! There are a ton of fun projects I can finally get started on!

Over all, it was a wonderful birthday! Thank you so much everyone for making it such a great day!

HAPPY (late) Birthday!! May birthday's are the best...right!?
Sounds like you got some neat stuff! I expect something made by you now...HA HA HA...just kidding!! I wish I had the time and patience to sew... surprisingly I took a home economics (of sorts) at BYU and learned how to sew. I enjoy it when I can make something and it turns out perfect. Anyway...maybe you can teach me the "tricks from the trade" and we make something cool together. (maybe using Amy Butler's fabric-love it)
Love you guys!!

Happy belated birthday Whit. Sorry I did not get a chance to call or send a card. We were a little baby crazy at the time, but your nephew will now share a birthday close to yours. Glad things are going well for you two, what are your guys plans for the summer? School, work, or play?
