Another year has gone!!

I ordered this eat sign for my kitchen and I had no idea how big they were going to be.  I need to be better at checking dimensions!!  Anyway, Rick said if we all of a sudden start packing on pounds they are coming down!!

Turning 43 wasn't too bad.  Rick was so happy to have me back that I almost forgot I was turning another year older.   Rick and Lexi had gone looking at rings before I came home.  I am not too much a jewelry girl although I do wear earrings most days and necklaces occasionally.  I had gotten a silver ring at a jewelry party and was wearing that instead of my gold wedding ring lately because I wear more silver and Rick's wedding band in silver and black and I thought it matched better.  He ended up giving me a nicer ring to wear.  It is very pretty and very sparkly.   I really love it.  I got earrings from my parents and necklace from Ellie.  Also my mother in law gave me a gift card to Deseret Book which came in super handy since that very day, Morgan asked for some church music CD's.  I was able to get them and send them her way.  She loves them!  We also found an older dresser that had been redone in chalk paint.  I wanted something upstairs to put my sheets and towels in.  There isn't any linen closets or closets of any kind upstairs beyond bedroom closets.    I received flowers from friends and Lexi, went to our traditional Trulucks with the Schoenrocks, and just enjoyed being home with my family.  Got a birthday card with pictures from Morgan and that was very exciting.  She is doing awesome and growing so much.  What a gift!
