Twenty Four

So I turned 24 today!! I have felt completely loved today by my family and friends. It is crazy and at times hard for me to believe that the Lord loves and celebrates over me and you every single day and every moment of our lives even in our ugliness. He rejoices and celebrates over his children. Thank you God for calling me to you and for rescuing me.

Rich and I went to Birmingham this past weekend to spend Friday night with my grandmother. I got to see some of my favorite people!!:) Tonight, we celebrated with my family at Sommer's Place! It was delicious!

I requested a fruit pizza for my cake this year! Tripp helped me blow out the candles. If you have never had a fruit pizza, you HAVE to try it!! I will be more than happy to share the recipe!!!

Thank you all for making today special!! Love to all.

Surprise Surprise!!!

A normal Wednesday night for me looks like this:
5:00 - Ultimate frisbee with the youth at the park
5:45 - devotional time at the park
6:00-7:00 - Chick-fil-a with youth
7:30-9:30 - hanging out with Rich before bed.

Yesterday, my Wednesday was pretty normal UNTIL I walked into my house at 7:30 and found this......

Which was made by these amazing girls...

Kathryn, Chatty, and Erin came to Montgomery to surprise me for my birthday!!

I was super SURPRISED!!! Some people hate surprises - not me!! I absolutely love surprises!

When I first walked in the door everything looked normal until I saw this black bag on our TV stand. I seriously thought someone was in our house. I was freaked out until I heard sweet voices singing "Happy Birthday to you."

We ate cake, laughed a lot, and talked about life. I love spending time with my best friends at my house. God knew excatley what I needed - it was perfect!!

Thank you Erin, Kat, and Chatty!
