ME! Birthday + Baby Shower

June 19th was my birthday - I woke up to a beautiful flower arrangement of orange roses and carnations to start my day off!  Then (unfortunately) I went to work all day!!  When I got home we went to Walmart where my hubby spoiled me rotten and got me a Kindle Fire.  I'm still learning how to use it and all the things I can do with it but really love it.  My dad surprised me at work with a wad of cash for my birthday (and who doesn't love that!!) and Katie took me out to dinner and a movie a couple weeks later (in fact we finally got around to it just last night 7/11/12 and it was super fun)!!  My mom got me a coral colored Kindle case that is also awesome!!  I spent my birthday weekend with my family, playing in the water, staying cool, and enjoying my favorite people!!  Overall, we did my favorite things - good food, spending time with my family, playing in the water, and having everyone celebrate me!! haha....

The weekend after my birthday was my baby shower.  Alicia and my mom threw it for me.  It was small and at my house but my besties were there and we enjoyed some good food and fun games.  Alicia spent hours (literally) make poofy things for the ceiling, my mom made the cutest fruit baby ever, Alicia made a bubble bath fruit punch bowl, and I got a ton of really awesome gifts!  We got lots of clothes, a swing, a bouncer, scrapbooking kit, and more!  We played the cotton ball game that had us all laughing so hard and the dirty diaper game that was both disgusting and delicious at the same time!!  It was a wonderful day, I enjoyed it very much, and appreciate my friends and family who made it all come together!!
