A Surprise Gift...

So last Thursday was my 27th birthday. I always love celebrating my birthday and even though I had to work, I still had a VERY wonderful day!



I woke up to Ty walking into the bathroom when I got up that morning with card and a blueberry muffin with a lit candle in it. He took my car to get the windows tinted that morning (I've been wanting that for a while, so I was VERY excited when he told me the night before that he was doing that for me.) So, I had to drive his car to work,which is very dirty. always. So he cleaned that out for me and when I got in, there was a "Happy Birthday" note on the steering wheel. So cute. :) There was also a note on the visor when I pulled it down to check myself out in the mirror. He knows me too well. :)



I got numerous texts, phone calls, Facebook messages and emails to wish me a Happy Birthday. Mom and Gerry took me to lunch at Longhorn, and it was delicious. The waiter even brought me out a little ice cream sundae that mom and I shared.





Back at work, Sarah made me peanut butter pie, so a couple of co-workers and I enjoyed that.




That night, I just went home and Ty and I were going to make dinner or go somewhere or something, but he was still sleeping and hadn't gone to bed until later in the afternoon because he had to go back to pick up my car, so I let him sleep and laid on the couch and watch tv. I went upstairs and cuddled with him a little before he had to get up to go to work and that was perfect for me.




BUT...the point of this blog was that when I got back from lunch, I got an email from the lady at the front desk of my work saying that there was something downstairs for me. Anytime that has ever happened (which has only been 3 times) I've gotten flowers. Once when I got promoted from Mom and Gerry, another time flowers from Anne and Tonya for my birthday and flowers from Ty for my birthday. In the 5 1/2 years that Ty and I have been together, that has been the only time I've gotten flowers from him. Except now. I've gotten flowers from him TWICE!!




I go downstairs to find a beautiful bouquet of red roses and a Happy Birthday balloon. I thought they were from him, since they were red roses, but I really wasn't sure. So when I got back to my desk and read the card and they were from him. LOVE!!




They were totally unexpected and I think that's what I love about it the most. I'm not one of those girls that wants flowers all the time. Every once and a while, like this, is perfect! Aren't they beautiful???




And a fun little edited one. :)

Tonya and Casey are getting married on OCTOBER 1st!!! Just a little less than 4 months!! AHHH!!! I am so excited for those two!! When she told me about him a year ago, he was just the guy at her church that she was going to lead the 20-something's ministry with.

JAMAICA - Yeah, mon!!

I'm going to go a little backwards and do our honeymoon post before the wedding post. I have the honeymoon pictures on my computer right now and not all the wedding one's yet. Plus it's going to take a little while to decide which wedding pictures to post since I have about a thousand to pick from thanks to all my family and friend's that took a ton of pictures! :)



So I'll start with our honeymoon in Jamaica! We had an absolute BLAST!!! We learned we aren't the best travel buddies, I'm a little high strung and he's a little laid back, so we don't travel great together, but once we got to Jamaica we had the best time!



It was so nice to just be with my HUSBAND and spend time, just me and him. Yes, we've lived together for 3 1/2 years, but for about 1 year of that, we had a room mate. And for the last 2 years or so, Ty's been working third's, so we really don't have much time together. It was much needed and VERY much appreciated and taken advantage of.



We did a lot of relaxing at the beach and in our room. Got quite a bit of sleep and got to explore Jamaica a little bit by going to Dunn's River Falls and climbing the gorgeous waterfall. Oh and ate ourselves STUPID!! The food was so good!



It was a trip of a lifetime and we can't wait to take another one just like it! :)



Waiting in the Atlanta airport for our next flight.
