42

It's hard to  believe another year has come and gone!  Where does time go?  I am so thankful for another year of life that the Lord has given me.  Today, as I celebrate my 42nd birthday, I am looking back on 42 blessings this year.  Before I do though, I want to share how today was made so special by friends and family.

I received texts from Chad, Conner, Caitlyn, and both of my brothers this morning.

My wonderful friends at work spoiled me with sweet cards and goodies.

Chad brought me lunch from my favorite place-Cafe Max.  Their chicken salad is delicious!  He also brought me a large drink from Sonic.

We went out to eat for dinner, and Chad's dad joined us.  We enjoyed some yummy fajitas.  This tree outside the restaurant was all lit up.  So pretty!
