25 rolls in with a BANG

This morning started out a little rough, I was disappointed I didn't work out, but it was far more important to me to pick up my flowers!! (Thank you mom!!) I was about 10 minutes away from work when I realized I left my computer at home..ugh.

Talk about the best birthday ever!! There is nothing better than knowing someone cares about you, and what you like and the things you love. I am not big into material things, but love things that take thought. Thought is what I got this year!

Usually my birthday was a day I dreaded, maybe b/c I felt a little disappointed, but it was never a BIG day. This year it was maybe even bigger than Christmas!! I am so impressed that it's hard for me to explain.

My mom sent me flowers, which was a first, and it made me just melt! I got cards from everyone, great things that I really have PASSION (<--- hehehe) about from my sister and some lovely jewlery from my other sister.

It all started like this.... "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!"
We hung out during the day and had reservations at the Fondue place, where apparently you have some kind of 4 course meal. Our friend Ian had told me about a place called the Green Forest Brazilian Restaurant, where we decided to go... it was authentic and not a place where you would feel uncomfortable b/c it was too fancy...which could have been the case at the Melting Pot. It was a great experience, I would reccommend it to anyone!

At about 10:00 Eric gets a call from work, and he has to go in... DAMN IT. So he gave me a piece of paper with a clue on it and leaves. He lead me on a scavenger hunt... it couldn't have been any better. The idea was so authentic! He put so much time, thought, effort and love into it to make it the best present I have ever gotten! The clues were all hilarious and something only he and I would understand. He was very clever... very clever, and perhaps leading me to believe things that actually weren't!!! Tricky tricky. I would love to talk more about it, but it's something I can't put into words. The only way to describe it is possibly the best feeling I have ever gotten, the most loved I have ever felt, the best of just about everything. It meant more to me than anything ever has. It's funny b/c I am sure he knows that I loved it, but I don't think anyone has the ability to even fathom just how much it means to me.

I knew things were great and I had/have a lot to be thankful for, but you want to talk about a WOW factor?!! Well I have that for you! I feel like the luckiest girl on this earth. I have the best family, the best friends, and the best boyfriend EVER.

I AM THE LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE... LIFE IS GREAT!
