The most amazing weekend has come to a close,
and I find myself filled with immense gratitude.
Gratitude...
for the love of family and friends...
and for all of you who stop by to visit each day and offer your love and support.
My birthday was The. Best. Ever!
Before I tell you about it...
I have to first tell you that I am so happy that you had a chance to meet
the love of my life... "Hubbs."
And, I have to tell you.... he bet me that he would get 37 comments on his blog post...
and he got 48 comments...
beating my all time high by a mile!
Thanks so much for the positive reinforcement.
I am sure he will be back from time to time.
Now do you understand why I say that I am just about the luckiest gal in the world?
He truly is a rare and precious treasure!
So.... here are the past three days encapsulated:
Friday evening Hubbs threw a surprise party for me at one of my favorite restaurants.
And he really did a great job...
inviting so many of my favorite people...
and picking out delicious food for a buffet.
So. Much. Fun!
Saturday we decided (on the spur of the moment) to join our friends in attending
a fundraiser for a local man with ALS.
It was an adult "Prom."
Tim and Amanda spent the weekend at the farm, so we girls headed to our local thrift store early
Saturday morning to pick out just the most perfect outfits for us and our dates.
We looked for the ugliest prom dresses we could find... and boy did we succeed!!
Here we are with our friend Annette.
(who actually has beautiful auburn/brunette hair) (#wigsarefun)
And, finally.... I got to wear a tiara!
We spent the evening dancing and laughing with our dates...
So. Much. Fun!
Sunday was the kind of day we live for here on the farm...
sunny...blue skies...warm... birds singing... roosters crowing...
fingers in the dirt perfection!
Amanda and I spent the morning working in the newly finished garden.
We still need to plant grass between the boxes for the finished look...
but the boxes are finished and filled.
We worked on cleaning rocks out of the soil,
and then planted three types of onions...
and lettuce, radishes, and sugar peas.
We were supervised by the turkeys, who had to be ushered out of the garden,
when Fred decided to dance on the garden boxes.
Ahhh, the feel of soil between my fingers...
So. Much. Fun!
Our late afternoon was spent with Mackenzie and her parents.
While the men hit a bucket of golf balls, we gals hung out at the park...
sliding...
and swinging...
So. Much. Fun!
If the weather holds out this week, I hope to get a few more garden projects completed.
It's also time to give Miss Minerva (scarecrow) her yearly makeover!
