Happy Birthday to ME!

My little sister Brooke is Amazing... She has always had such a big heart and knows just how to make me feel like a million bucks. Go back with me to my senior year of high school. I was so ready to just be gone and start the next chapter in my life. Except for some of my few close friends I made my senior year I was ready to see what was "next." Well, due to Brooke and I staying up late some nights talking about this, she knew all about "me." After track practice on my birthday she drug me over the park to help one of her friends look for an earring she had lost there. You. have. got. to. be. kidding. me. I thought to myself. How in the world were we going to find an earring in a FIELD of grass! As, I was just to end of my rope and i'm sure I had a disgusted look on my face, about 30 people jumped out from behind the steer barns that are used for 4-H. OH my heck! I didn't know what to think! I was in such a bad mood before and here was a surprise birthday party for ME! How could a girl feel so special.
Well, my sister managed to pull the wool over my eyes again this year. Just this last week it has kinda hit me that I am moving away. Far away. I won't be close enough anymore to run home to see my brother play a basketball game or for the ever so famous rodeo in my small town. Most, of all i'm just  losing that comfort of being able to see family if I need to. I was starting to get a little bummed and very scared. Well, the day of my birthday Colt texts me and asks if I want to go out to dinner. Heck yes, I thought. I LOVE going to dinner! k, be ready at about 6:00 he says. got it. ; ) Well six comes around and I am starving! Lets go, babe, I say! Just a few more min. he would reply. Well, the doorbell rings and here are 3 of my nieces giving my hugs followed by my sister Brooke, then my mom. What the??? Then five min. later my Sister Cheyanne from Utah walks in. Right about now my eyes start to tear up. How could I be so lucky? Well, Brooke says we are going to go roller blading. Are you kidding me I thought? You have to understand I LIVED to go rollerblading and ice skating when I was younger and Brooke knew it. For one of my birthday's my mom got me a private lesson in Sun Valley with a professional ice skater from Russia. Boy, did I feel special. :) Anyway so we head on over to go roller blading and then the inlaws show up! Wow, could this be happening! Brooke, you are amazing... Thanks for planning such a fun night full of roller blading, pizza, cake, and pop. I love you! (Thank-you husband for keeping it all such a secret!)

Excuse the low quality phone picts

Bro-in-law with my Princess banner my cute niece brought for me to wear. Boy I felt special!

My "Despicable ME" cake!!! (it's a minion) She knows me all too well. haha

To top off the night I got to stand in the middle of the floor and have about 30 little kids who were there come stand around me in a circle and sing happy birthday. classic and hilarious. :)

P.S the in laws got me a quite charming little bird cage I have been eyeing lately. basically in love...
