Birthday Fun!

Well, I've been 37 for almost five days now, and I haven't even told you about all the fun I had on my birthday!!

Our alarm went off at 3:45 in the morning {which no alarm should ever do, by the way} and while I tried to figure out what might be happening, Ryan told me to keep sleeping. Don't have to tell me twice! The next time I saw him...he was bringing a breakfast pizza and coffee to me in bed!

{Sorry for the hair you're about to see.}
That darling man had gotten up, CALLED A GAS STATION that makes breakfast pizzas, ordered one, and then he drove clear across town to pick it up. AT FOUR IN THE MORNING.

I've never been more in love.

So we had breakfast in bed, while we watched I Love Lucy, and then I opened the presents my family members had sent over to be ready for the big day! Among them...a travel mug from my in-laws:
 A ginormous coffee cup from one sister and a pillow from the other.
And then it was time to go to work! The party continued there with co-workers who spoiled me ROTTEN.

I'm gonna miss these girls when I'm gone. Cindy always brings the most GORGEOUS flowers from her own garden. And also...this really cute clipboard, which I think I'm going to use as a picture frame in our home office. So pretty. 
 My dear Amy...with a beautiful planter that I adore. And please oh please, don't let me kill those pretty purple flowers!!
 Lynne gave us more pillows for our room. And that giant bow there? Yeah that's covered in glitter, as is my work chair now, so any one who comes to visit often {I'm thinking of you, Ken Church} is going to be highly decorated upon standing....
 These girls know the way to my heart...a gift card to Starbucks and one to Picaboo {for scrapbooking}. If you don't know them, the one in the black dress is Jeri, and the one in jeans is Dana. Jeri and I hired in not too far from one another, and Dana answers our phones for Mid-Morning. Love both these girls so much!
 Diane Hooley, our lovely receptionist, gave me a sign that says "No coffee...no workee." TRUEEE!!!
And now I realize this post is so long and I still want to tell you about my fun night out with Ryan!! You'll come back tomorrow, right? To read about that? Please say yes?

What a great start to your day (even at 4 am!). The gifts are all so sweet and so you!

Of course we'll come back tomorrow :). Cute outfit, btw (the one you wore to work on your birthday).

Odie - it sure was! :)

That's so awesome that your co-workers gave you so many great gifts. You will have lovely tangible reminders of them even when you don't see them everyday.

And also, if Dave ever woke up at 3:45 to get me breakfast in bed I would faint in shock!
