23 is okay with me!

Today is my birthday which means I am another year older,another year wiser???. I sometimes don't know what to think about being another year older but I am. I sometimes wish I could go back in time and be a little kid for a day. The care-free days of roller-blades and trampolines, pop-cycles and push-ups, spotlight and 'go fish.' {The list could go on} Coming to grips that those days have come to an end can be a hard thing at times for me, but at the same time it teaches me to appreciate and enjoy every chapter of life that I am in. My high school and college days have come to an end, but I am now learning to love my life as a wife, aunt, and a working gal ;)Every new chapter of life is sweet, and it reminds me of the Lord's continual faithfulness through it all.

I feel like life is all about learning. I am learning to count my blessings daily. For me, one of the biggest blessings in my life is my husband Will.

This a picture of the two of us today. We were introduced to each other exactly 6 years ago as prom dates for Will's senior prom. Little did we know that 6 years later we would be married. I often tease Will by saying, "You were just a high school prom date." Nooo, Will is much more to me than that. I could go on and on about all of the things I am thankful for about Will and all of his amazing qualities and characteristics, but I won't bored y'all with that. Instead, I will show you a few pictures of his thoughtfulness to me by making my birthday extra special!

This morning, I woke up to this delicious breakfast and beautiful bouquet of Gerbers {my favorite}!

He took me to dinner tonight at Walker's where we wined and dined. We shared the portabella fries for an appetizer, and then I enjoyed my house salad and scrumptious shrimp and grits for my entree. He then surprised me at home with a yummy cookie cake!

He invited these people over to celebrate, too :)

Needless to say, my birthday has been wonderful. I am so thankful for my 23 years of life and can't wait to see what the other chapters of my life have to unfold. Until then, I am content and happy of where the Lord has me. 23 is okay with me :) Night, all!
