My week in a nutshell

SOOO I have had one of the most insane weeks of my life.

I'll start with my birthday party. Actually, maybe a little before. I have not really been myself since my husband left. It's so damn depressing sometimes and the worry and the fears can truly take over me. Anyhow, I guess everyone else realized this also and some of my friends made this one of the happiest birthdays of my life.

Saturday (the 2nd) was kind of a blur even before drinks:) I woke up that morning and did a bit of nothing that morning. I checked the mail around noon and sitting on my porch were some of the tastiest brownies ever from my sweet friends in Arizona and Cali. My sister then shows up with flowers and a card that Cliff had her get and bring to me. Gorgeous roses of every color! Anyhow, so we left for Choctaw to go get our hair done. After that we went to Starbucks and had delicous peppermint mocha frappucino's and went and had pedicures. I should also mention the cutest shirt ever that my sister had to do secret spy missions to get for me earlier in the week just because I HAD to have it for my b-day. Anyhow so by the time I got home, all I needed to get ready was to put on my clothes and jewelry and do my makeup.

My mom, sis, Miranda, Nicole, and Kina met me here at my house. Miranda got me a giftset with six different kinds of Victoria Secret perfume and some stuff from Bath and Body Works, Nicole got me a gift card, and then my mom gave me cash. Nicole also bought me dinner and drinks later in the evening. SOOO I'm sitting around like okay when are we gonna go when someone says they're ready and we go outside. I walk outside and see a limo that they have hired to drive us around for the night. HOW AWESOME AND SWEET WAS THAT!? We went to Chili's to eat and then to Hudson's for drinks. While we were there our limo driver (who was one of the sweetest men in the world) leaves and goes somewhere to buy me a birthday tiara:) It was fitting because I truly felt like a princess.

Afterwards, we went to my favorite bar where I probably spent five bucks the entire . I guess a flashing birthday tiara sends off a "buy me a drink" kinda message and that's what everyone did. I saw a lot of people there that I don't normally see and some that I haven't seen in years. It was a nice treat. The only thing that would've made it better was for my husband to be there with me. The first song that was played when after I walked in was our song which is pretty rare to hear so that was my little sign from God and from him.

My point in all of this is look how blessed I am!!! I have the best family and friends and internet friends a girl could ask for!! I also last week received a scrapbook in the mail from Kulia another Jan05 mommy and friend off my babyboard. It had the sweetest letter in it from her daughter Maya to my sweet Kayla. She said someone from that board would send me something to put in it once in awhile. I got my first thing today and it was a card from another military mama named Grace. They are all so good to me. I don't deserve any of it. I am not that great of a friend to any of them though I try my hardest. I am not a princess but I sure felt like I was that night. I used to think that few people cared but over the past year and especially last couple of months my eyes have really been opened and I think I am one of the luckiest most blessed people I know.

I was going to write about my grandfather's death and funeral. But I am flooded now with happy memories so I will wait until tomorrow for that.
