Welcome to 45....

February in our family is a very busy month of celebrating birthdays!! Derek's birthday is the finisher on the 28th. Since we had care group the day before I brought a cake and we all sang...twice! Let me explain...

It is tradition in one of our families at care group to sing in the most horrible voices possible. It was hilarious! I only wish I had it recorded...oh well, it is forever embedded into our memories!
On Derek's actual birthday, Dalton and I (Dillon had class, boohoo!) met him on his lunch hour for lunch at one of our favorite places, Baja Fresh.

I was sooo super deduper excited for his gift this year!

An 80 minute massage at Glen Ivy Spa! :)

Being a good wife, I had it all arranged for him to go right after work as I really wanted him to redeem it on his actual birthday.

I love this picture of Derek when he realized what it was...he was truly surprised and oh so happy...
Checking out his options....
A homemade card from Dalton...
And new swim trunks to use at the Spa... :)

So, welcome to 45 Babe!

I am so glad we are on this journey together at the same age! Our 45th year will be a good one as we experience many changes in our family this upcoming year.

I wouldn't want to go through this life with anyone else but you! You're the greatest!!

I love you and am so thankful to the Lord for you!
