I had the best birthday ever!!! I woke up to hugs all around. Then, Jonas made me a delicious breakfast (oatmeal and strawberries with cinnamon and sugar). Afterwards, the boys showered me with presents wrapped in snowman paper…Tom gave me a beautiful dress and fun earrings, Xander and Roman gave me a comfy pair of pajamas, and Jonas gave me a really unique cactus. All things I love from the people I love. Not long after, we loaded up and headed to Tims Ford Lake. We had never been out there before, and it was beautiful. The weather was perfect, and there was hardly anyone out on the lake. We took turns riding on the tube, hung out on the lily pad, and swam in the lake. I even tried wake boarding!!! (I wasn’t successful, but it was still fun trying…I probably never would’ve taken the plunge without Tom highly encouraging me to.) We picked up steak, potatoes, salad, and cherry cheesecake for dinner. Yummy!!! It was a beautiful day, and I’m thankful for my life and to be 43.
