26th birthday

I absolutely love throwing parties, even if they are for myself, haha. Last night, we had mine and Elliot's joint birthday party. His was July 1st and mine is coming up tomorrow, July 11th. Such a blast we had! I love having friends over and just hanging out, drinking, eating, and saying ridiculous things :) I bought a cake from the Cookie Addiction in Harker Heights, so yummy! We also had brats, chips, salsa, hawaiian roll sandwiches, and our personal favorite...Elliot's jalapeno poppers. So good! My sister-in-law, Jessica, came down to celebrate also. I enjoy getting to know her more and more & having a little "sister" bonding time.

For my real birthday tomorrow, I plan on maybe going to the pool and relaxing & possibly spending some giftcards I received. I have dinner planned with my great hubby at Texas Land & Cattle, one of my new personal favorite restaurants. Next weekend, I plan on spending my birthday with my parents in Ft Worth. I'm excited about shopping and being back with family in the "big city."

I am thankful for another year of life and hope to live out the plan God has for me in a way that will please Him. I hit a lot of milestones at 25...got 2 great jobs in Ft Worth and Killeen, my husband came back from deployment, and got married! So many blessings in my life right now and I'm excited to see what 26 has to bring me.

As for a birthday wish (I know you're not supposed to tell but I am), I wished for 3 individuals I know that are currently tackling cancer to be survivors! Cancer is an ugly, ugly disease and my wish for them is to keep living fulfilling lives and move past the suffering. Happy day everyone and thank God for each day! Love you all friends and family!
