So, Saturday was my 31st birthday and I got to celebrate all weekend long! I had such a blessed and fun weekend. I have to say (as a side note) I am so glad that this past year is over. 2008 proved to be the hardest year of my life so far.
Homeschooling while pregnant and raging with hormones was extremely difficult and the lack of any good sleep only made things harder. Throw in a husband who works from home and you get two tired, possibly overwhelmed, parents that are not just sick of seeing each other but are ready to kill each other at any given moment! God was faithful and graceful through it all and I am feeling like a new woman. How amazingly blessed am I?!! 4 great boys, a husband who loves and puts up with me, and family that loves and supports me. I am healthy, my kids are healthy, I have food on my table and a car to go get more, I have a roof over my head with heat and funny looking animals in my yard, I have friends to laugh and cry with and the hope and security of Jesus Christ! What do I have to complain about?
Ok, so back to my great bday weekend. Friday night Adam and the boys made me an awesome dinner and a chocolate cake. Saturday morning they made breakfast while I slept in and then we went out and enjoyed all the snow. That night my mother-in-law watched the boys so Adam and I could go to Shoguns with friends. And finally on Sunday, my mom made me a special breakfast-dinner and a cake complete with the whole family. I took pictures all weekend and put them into a slide show. Thank you to everyone who helped make my birthday so special!
