My 26th Birthday!

It's true...I am an old lady! :) Yesterday was my birthday and it was wonderful! Matt was not feeling very well so he actually stayed home with me, so that was a treat all in itself, even if he wasn't feeling 100%. He gave me a beautiful card that expressed his love for me, which in all honesty, is my favorite! He also gave the "The Notebook" and a gift card to Target for me to get some new clothes for our cruise later in the year. He saw how happy I was that I could actually buy clothes from a regular store, so he wanted to help me out in that department. Matt has been wanting new phones for quite sometime, so we went out and did that too. I am soo excited for my pink bubble gum phone! It definaly will take some getting used to though!

Then he took me out to lunch and we just snuggled at home on the couch.

I did have to go into work yesterday, but it was okay! As I got to my desk, I saw there was a PINK birthday cake and a card. The staff who were around sang happy birthday! After getting to class, all of the night students came into the classroom (about 100 students) came in and sang to me! I was blushing and smiling from ear to ear! I was so elated!! The class of students I was teaching brought me cake and my rookie class made cookies! I felt so special!! As I got home last night Matt (and Doogie) had bought flowers for me. Matt's flowers were red roses and Doogie's were some little pink ones. (I had mentioned to Matt I wanted flowers to hang outside on our little porch). He is such a thoughtful man and I love him so very much!! Thanks to everyone for all of the birthday wishes and for making it such a special day for me!

As I was trying to take some pictures of my flowers today, Doogie took some time to "Stop and smell the flowers." I love this little guy!!

I was trying to be a good little photographer. This is one of the red roses my Sweetheart gave me!
