The Big 28 Started Off Great

As I sit here, on my 28th birthday, I am smiling. All day there has been a smirk, a grin, an ear-to-ear smile across my face. There's this warmth that I can't quite explain, almost like a blanket of comfort. Everything just seems just right. I don't know how to describe it, except for pure comfort and happiness.

Here's how my day has gone so far, maybe that will help explain the warmth and happiness that I'm feeling right now:

6am - My husband brings me breakfast in bed (pancakes made from scratch, fresh strawberries, sausage, glass of milk)
7am - I take a shower and make myself "presentable for the day" then start scanning Pinterest for craft ideas for the day.
8am - Take the dog on a walk. The weather is absolutely perfect for late September - cool, crisp, blue skies and not a cloud in sight.
9am - Craft time! I start with making a BOO sign for the front door based on a post I saw on Pinterest.
11:45am - My dad calls and asks what I'm doing for lunch (nothing) then says he's on his way to get me. We nosh on some Mediterranean food.
1pm - Resume craft time! I work on painting some wine glasses for Halloween.
3pm - Test out walkway luminaries for the trick-or-treaters next month (mason jar filled with candy corn and tea light - great idea and looks fantastic!)

Today was THE BEST. Crafting! Totally uninterrupted! It was heaven!

Then to top it off, my husband and I stopped to get some ice cream, went on a walk, and now he's making me Chicken Cordon Bleu (from scratch) for my birthday dinner. Oh, did I mention that he made me a birthday cake from scratch for later tonight? Yes, he's that good!

So as I sit here, throwing together a (very sloppy) post about my day, I am smiling. Today I got to focus on new projects that have been on my radar for some time. The house is spotless and organized. The sun was shining bright and there was a sweet breeze all day long. My husband made me feel like a queen today and has made me feel so loved and valued.

We have had a busy year, but I wouldn't change a thing. My life is perfect right now and that's because of his love and support. With him by my side I know I can handle anything.

I can't wait to see where I am this time next year. I can only imagine...
