Evenin' all :)
What a week! Busy, busy, busy. Tuesday was my BirFday and so blogging took a back seat for a bit but I'm back at it. One year older and feelin' goooood :D
My special day was nothing different from any other day. Did some groceries, took Lia to Karate and had some cake! Today although was a shocker! I love surprises but usually see them coming buuuut my amazing husband had one up on me. UPS shows up this morning with a huge and heavy box and tells me it's for the hubby. Well, sure enough, I gave him a call at work and said it was for me (heee heee). I rarely get gifts so I was VERY excited! I was actually a little nervous so I got my P.I.C.C on the phone and opened up the box.........There it was. In all it's glory. A brand new Cricut Expression AND Your story!!!! I was floored! Actually, light-headed LOL
He had noticed that my Baby bug was ready to explode (I think he might have seen the paper spark once LOL) and said I needed a new one along with all of this wonderful mushy- gushy shtuff (awwww)
Soooo, now I say to the world....... xoxoxox I LOVE MY DARLING HUSBAND! oxoxo
