Our little Valentine

Looking at this picture made me laugh! It's almost as if she was saying I want you to have a Happy Valentine's Day!
I love that when I take out the camera now she'll actually smile! It took awhile for that to happen!

Laurie, my mother-in-law, bought this cute little shirt for her last year in hopes that she would still be able to wear it for Valentine's Day. I promised I would take pictures so she could see and they turned out so well I thought I would share. We hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's Day.

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Yay for birthday cake! This one has cookies n' cream ice cream and chocolate cake inside. Yum!
Yes, I do not lie the blanket is huge! But still awesome!
Madison enjoying my birthday as much as I was!
Birthday dinner with some work friends. Although we count Dylan (in the white) as family. :)

Today I turned 25, yay for cheaper car insurance! lol I definitely had such an amazing birthday. Woke up at 6 am so I could open my box full of gifts in front of my family on Skype and was amazed at all the Twilight memorobilia that was sent! It ranged from a huge fleece blanket with Edward's face on it to bracelets proclaiming my love for it. Of course there were other equally awesome presents enclosed, three movies I had been wanting, some clothes they picked out for me with love, and little knick knacks to remind me of them everyday. My siblings keep me young that's for sure and I'll forever love them for it. Now I'll definitely be geared up enough for their Twilight night they have planned for my next visit home! lol Bryan was so amazing! He gave me the Twilight Score cd and a Twilight shirt. I absolutely love the Twilight score, instrumental music in any movie sets the tone for me. Makes me feel like I was with them playing it, I can feel every emotion. The Twilight shirt I asked for because I fell in love with it when I saw it. It's my guilty pleasure what can I say! lol Then we went on base and had some awesome breakfast which proceeded to buying new clothes at the Ramstein BX. I actually found some really great stuff to my surprise! Then Bryan surprised me with my very first Coach purse. I've never been one to be materialistic so I've never asked for one, and was a little preoccupied with thinking all the many other things I could have bought with what he spent on it to enjoy it at first. I of course love it now that's it's soaked in and will surely find a way to have it and my diaper bag with me at all times. :) We bought a special ice cream cake for the occasion then went out to dinner with some friends from Bryan's squadron. We had an incredible night but I'm grateful to be able to take a breather. 25 so far has turned out to be great so far. I can only imagine what next year will hold!
