A Belated birthday post

My birthday was on September 22nd and I wrote this post like three weeks after, I'm just a little slow posting it..

The night before my birthday, I came out to get something and Jered had put the cutest decal on my computer. It is from the book the Giving Tree, one of my favorite books from when I was little. I had seen it on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago and LOVED it. Jered is so good at listening to little things like that about stuff I want… he listens and remembers.
The morning of my birthday, I went out to my car to go to work and a CD was sitting in my car that said Happy Birthday boo
Highlights from my birthday:
Getting a present 3 weeks early. We went to the broadway version of Lion King in Vegas, it was amazing. I loved how they kept the whole thing simplistic and organic (for lack of a better word) and so creative. It surprised me the whole time.

-Getting the Giving Tree sticker for my computer the night before my birthday. I found it on Pinterest a few weeks ago and Jered sneakily remembered me liking it and ordered it online. I loved that book when I was a kid and I think it’s the cutest idea.
-Walking out to my car to go to work and finding a burned CD (brought me right back to highschool) with the words "Happy Birthday Boo" written on it and putting it in only to be delighted as I heard the first chords of the new Beatles album (yes I do love the Beatles)
-Coming into work to a bunch of happy birthdays from coworkers only to turn around and see balloons, a card and yummy cupcakes.
-Feeling even more grateful for my sweet coworkers when other ones came up and sang happy birthday and had made my favorite cookie treat and gotten me a cake!
-Eating at the Crabshack with Jered and his dad for lunch
-Going to my in-laws for a family party and seeing how much effort Jered had put into everything; flowers on the table, decorations, dinner (everyone helped with that) and this awesome Disney game he like created complete with a power point and Disney character assignments for everyone (yes.. I love Disney but no I won’t dress my baby or myself in their paraphernalia)
-Getting awesome presents from aunts, uncles cousins and brother and sister-in-laws.. thanks guys!
-Coming home to find a package from my family and getting a gift card to in-and-out and to Costco photography to have a canvas made of one of our wedding pictures (finally!)
-Going shopping with my mother-in-law and aunt for whatever I wanted for my present from her and finding tons of fun baby stuff.
-Phone calls from friends and family
It was just such a fun day and I felt so loved. I am so grateful for a husband who goes out of his way to let me know I’m loved. It means so much to me that he takes the time to do stuff that he thinks I’ll like. He’s just the best. I love that he does stuff that is out of the ordinary and doesn’t just get me “safe presents”, he gets me stuff he knows I’ll love… and he knows me too well. What a great day
