It all really started the Wednesday before. Shade Clothing had a going out of business warehouse sale and I went. I spent a little more than I should have, but it was totally worth it!

It looks like someone threw up a mess of clothes on my bed, but here is what it all is: I got 3 swimsuits (tops and bottoms for each), 3 pairs of pants/shorts, 2 dresses, 3 skirts, 9 tank tops to wear under things, 2 t-shirts, and 3 cute tops. The grand total for the day: $160! When I told Clayton, all he could say was, "Well... Happy Birthday I guess!" hahahaha When we added up the price tags and what everything WOULD have cost had it not been a going out of business sale, I ended up with over $600 in clothes. So we both figured that $160 was a good bargain! But I like to consider this all part of my birthday.On Thursday I got a package in the mail from my in-laws and it was full of wonderful birthday goodness! They got me an Old Navy gift card, some cute sea shell jewelry, and my Valerie made this awesome picture of The Legend of the Sand Dollar for me!

My mom had told us this story growing up. If you haven't heard it, let me know and I'll get you a copy! (You can't really read it here.) But I was so thrilled to have one in my home, and it meant all the more knowing that she made it for me.On Saturday, my parents came down to spend the day with me to celebrate my birthday early. They had recently gone to Texas to visit Kacie, and had gone with Kacie there to pick out my birthday gift. It's a good thing my clothes all suck and I've been wanting to update my wardrobe lately because I definitely got a lot of help doing so this year for my birthday! My mom and Kacie had picked out this adorable outfit for me and I love it!

After I got all excited and tried everything on, my parents took us out to lunch to Magleby's and we came back to our place to watch a movie. I LOVE when my parents come to my house and come to hang out with us. It made my day and made me feel really special that they would come down here for me!On Monday, the day of my birthday, I was hit with my complex attitude again. But something in me changed and said, "Dang it Kristie! You're 25! You deserve something special!" So I treated myself to a day at the spa, receiving a set of acrylic nails and an awesome pedicure! Zack was a perfect angel all day and was so happy and was very good while I got my self-awarded birthday gift! That's a long time for a little boy to hang out, especially at a spa! He did a great job! Clayton brought home pizza (my favorite) and Diet Coke for dinner (also a favorite!) He then told me to go to the back of the house and find my birthday gift. Once I found it, I was ordered to use it. Intrigued I began my search. I found this in our master bathroom:

A luxury bath set! He then said that he would play with and entertain Zack so that I could lock myself in the bathroom and treat myself to a nice relaxing bath. My man knows me SO well! I love to just soak in a warm bath, and this makes it a lot more fun to do so! So I took the time to explore my gift and relax. My "Birthday Week" was absolutely amazing! What a way to kick off my entrance into my second quarter century here on this earth! :) This was one of the best birthdays I've had in a long time. I have the best family and friends that made it possible, and I truly felt very loved and spoiled on my special day. Thank you to everyone who gave gifts, and who sent birthday wishes! I love you all, and am truly blessed to be surrounded by such good people!
