My birthday was last Monday and it was one of the best! Justin did a GREAT job doing things for the big 2-5 to make me feel special! 

First off – for the 10 days before my birthday there was a card waiting for me somewhere in our room every morning when I woke up. My second to last card (Sunday) had a gift certificate to a spa here in Fort Smith for me to use after Rebekah is born! Then Saturday I got a beautiful bouquet of pink and purple flowers. And the card said “These are early just in case your not home on your birthday”! So a small hint for what he was doing for the day of my birthday! And then Saturday night we went up to Rogers to eat at Copelands (one of my favorite restaurants) with my family.

Monday morning when I woke up there was a card right on top of my contacts. (I put my contacts in first thing every morning before I even get out of bed). I opened it and it said to pack my bag for an overnight trip! I had a pretty good feeling of where we were going just because I had a hair appointment the next day in Little Rock. 

So I went downstairs and our family “birthday tradition” was waiting on me. 25 candles on the counter for me to blow out! (It is getting harder and harder to do all of Mom and Dads candles!). Mom had a sack of goodies for our “trip”, there were cards from Mom and Dad, and orange rolls were in the oven! A great start to my day!

So off to Little Rock we go. Well – I technically didn’t KNOW that yet. I just knew to head east on I-40. When we got to Little Rock we ate at Cheeburger Cheeburger for lunch. Then we went to paint pottery! (Another one of my surprises!) While we were painting pottery Justin left and came back with a “bouquet” full of chocolate covered strawberries from Edible Arrangements!  I had been wanting one of these for a LONG time! It was so good – we ate most of it before I could even take a picture! 

Then we went and checked in to our hotel downtown. Justin had made reservations at a very nice restaurant in LR but we ended up cancelling! Ha! We decided we didn’t really wanna spend so much money on dinner when we had already had a great day together. So we ended our night watching The Bachelor and going to Wal Mart to get a prescription for a fever blister that I had popping up! We had a GREAT time!!! Thanks so much to everyone who made my birthday perfect!
