Ok so I have it backwards, the pictures for suppose to be at the bottom and I am way lazy today to fix it! =)

Aren't these chicks the cutest things eva!

Everyone needs a friend like her! She is amazing!

My better half!

This is myself hugging my mother-in-law who made me cry. She got me such a thoughtful gift. A Pandora charm that says "best nana" It's very much true my nana was the BEST!

We have a love hate relationship! =) Oh and the party was for him as well. He knew about the party but didn't know it was for him too.


The sweet family who got together for me!

The rest of em!

So ya know how I said we were going to Dave n Busters for my birthday well little did I know there was actually family waiting to surprise me in Ashland. Monte and Amanda had it planned so good and it meant more to me then they know.

It was a hard day for me thinking about my nana and all and having family, married into family, get together for me was so awesome. I am so thankful to have married into such a great family who treat me so good. They have def made this transition into a new state very smoothly! Thank you Petersen's and Hauschild's!!

P.S. It's my anniversary! I can't believe I have been married to such an amazing man for 5 years! He is for sure my better half and an amazing father! I love him more and more everyday! Thank you Lord for sending him to me! Love you Monte Lynn!!

26

26 years later here I am married, 2 healthy beautiful kids and living 900 miles from the state I knew for 25 years!

Today is my 26th birthday. 26 man I can't believe I'm 26 I remember when I thought that was oldish, now it's not looking to bad I mean old now is like shoot I don't know 100 maybe!
It's been a good day so far, I didn't know how hard it was going to be on me not having my nana calling me singing "happy birthday" to me. She called me every single year for 25 years. Every year. Like I said before she was the very first person to see me come into this world. I had a little break down. My Aunt "wessa" as I call her, called me this morning to wish me a happy birthday and well she has my nana's cell phone so in my phone I still have her number under "nana" so when I seen that it just hit me all over again. I know she is singing happy birthday to me up there in heaven while probably doing the Charleston. =) Oh nana I miss you dearly. I'm so ready for the day that it starts getting easier, I know it never gets better there will always be that special part of my heart that she has missing until I'm with her again. But I know it gets easier, it has to right? I love you nana thank you for singing to me like I know you are!!

So anywho I think we are heading to Omaha to Dave and Busters tonight with some family to celebrate so that should be fun I have never been but heard it's fun!

26 wow 26. Next thing I know I'm going to be 96 not old yet but getting there at 96. =) Everyone have a safe and blessed weekend. Oh and make it a point to hug and tell everyone you love how special they are because you never know when the last time you talk to them will be!
