Another Birthday

It was a good day. God is good to me. Better than I deserve. After Emma's Dr. appointment I went shopping with a friend. When I met up with her she told me she wanted to buy me a new purse. Then she found a wallet to match and insisted I try on a pair of jean capris too. I was very touched by her kindness. Not so much in the gift itself or the money she spent but more the fact that I have been blessed with a friend that went out of her to show me how much she loved me today. Don't get me wrong, I am super excited about a new purse too. I have had mine probably 5 years now and the handles are falling apart. Normally I just get a plain looking purse but I went big and bold today. Here is what I picked out.
Tonight Brian made me a delicious steak dinner with green beans. He also surprised me with a big yummy cupcake. That really made my day!
This birthday seemed extra special because it was my first birthday as a mommy. Oh how I feel blessed to have a sweet baby girl. I think God was extra good to me today because normally she is not much of a snuggler, but more of a busy bee. But tonight she was very snugly so I rocked her to sleep in my arms and just held her for a long time. She is the best present of all.
