More Birthday Festivities

Surprise! A great group of friends turned up at our favorite Mexican restaurant tonight to surprise me for my birthday. Yes, the same restaurant we were just at on Sunday! What can I say, we love this place. I sure was surprised. We usually eat dinner by 5pm, so when I was told our reservations were for 7pm I thought for sure it was for some place else, and it was so late because it was a last minute thing. Boy was I wrong. Apparently this has been in the works for about a month.

I got a couple of very thoughtful gifts that go along with our whole thing about Hope. I got a bracelet that incorporates Rose Quartz stones (for its protection and connection to serenity and fertility. Just like my Angie bracelet) and has a butterfly and a Hope charm on it. The other gift is one of the WillowTree statues, The Angel of Hope.

Our Hope collection just keeps growing. I love all of these wonderful little reminders that so many people around us also have Hope for us and are always thinking and praying for us.

Thanks to all who came out tonight to celebrate my birthday. I love you all.
