Thank you all so much for the
birthday wishes yesterday. I had the most wonderful day! Care to take a peek at
the fun we had?
Ryan surprised me by taking the day off work, and we were able to have a
grand adventure together! 😊
First,
Ryan gave me my gifts! He gave me three things – all from my wish list. Magnetic
push pins (which he deemed boring, but I was SO excited to get them), a book,
and tubs to hold homemade ice cream. (I just purchased a thrifted ice cream
maker and we are eager to start experimenting!)
We
started our adventure by going to brunch at the Corner Café in Decatur. It’s a
little breakfast place known for its pies. Ryan was hoping I could get a piece
of strawberry pie, since I love it so much, but they were out of it. Sad day. But
we did split a piece of sweet cherry pie, and it was really good!
After
brunch, we headed to Fort Wayne to do some shopping. I had birthday money and some
gift cards that have been stacking up for quite a while, and Ryan wanted me to
be able to enjoy the chance to use them. Goodness, I had forgotten how much fun
it can be! I tried on some clothes, found some treasures for our house, and
even got an adorable pair of shoes, just because they’re cute. (Ryan had
to talk me into those.)
One
of the other reasons we went to Fort Wayne was because Ryan wanted to take me
to the botanical conservatory to see the butterflies! We went to this same place
a few years ago on our 100th monthiversary, but it wasn’t butterfly
season then. Oh my goodness. They were so beautiful! The blue ones were
my favorites.
We
walked around, had some coffee from the on-site coffee shop, and enjoyed our time
there very much!
We
got a late lunch at Panera, and then we went to Crumbl for a birthday treat.
On
the way home, we stopped to see my parents, and then I opened a few more gifts
back at home again!
What
a wonderful day it was. Thank you, Ryan - and all of you! - for making this year start so beautifully!

Happy birthday, Bekah! You had a FULL day! What? No pics of your parents??? You were right in my neighborhood at Panera and Crumbl, I think! I pass by there on my way to and from work every day.
Cute shoes!
Thanks, Tracy! :) My parents were eating dinner when we stopped by, so I didn't grab pictures. We had just gotten pictures on Mother's Day, so I didn't bother them while they were eating!
Oh my, what a fun day! And you're right - those shoes are ADORABLE! Glad you were well celebrated. Happy belated birthday!
