I have come to realize in my 39 years, I am a loved girl. The blessings that I've been given really are just more than one person deserves. And yet, my family and friends . . . and my God . . . just lavish me with love that just overwhelms me. I had a sweet dinner with friends . . . received flowers . . . and cards . . . and gifts . . . and balloons . . . and phone calls . . . and lunch to celebrate. Then I flew home to continue the celebration with family. I'm truly am a loved girl. I really, really am.
The gift that God decided to give me has just made me smile the most. For anybody that knows me, unless I'm at the beach, I like the cold . . . and winter . . . and SNOW. So the night before my birthday as I was having dinner with friends, God made it start to snow. By the time I got home that evening, it was covering the streets. When I woke up birthday morning, there was enough on the ground. Mom told me it was snowing the day I was born, so it seems appropriate that I love snow! Derby and I went outside to play. I love making snowballs and throwing them like balls for him to catch. He doesn't appreciate the snow nearly as much as Lellow used to. He liked to catch them when I threw them in the air. I miss my boy. So Derby and I just sat on the deck and watched snow that God gave me as a birthday gift. (Be sure to see my friend Cathy's blog for a slighty different take on the snow as my gift! http://www.radioactivesnowfall.blogspot.com/)

I think the next favorite gift is the gift of time I received. While home, Bud, Kim, and Kayla, stayed at my parents house just about the entire weekend. We had so much fun just hanging out as a family. I know they had better things to do with their time . . . but without realizing it, this was their gift to me which was more than any gift they could ever purchase.
I'm a loved girl.
