What a difference a year makes!

Click here to see my birthday post from last year--amazing! Still so thankful for my two little gifts, Jen

p.s. Funny story. This morning the babes and I were in the produce section of the grocery store at about 7:45am. Joel worked an all nighter last night and wasn't yet home. Feeling a bit sad that I wouldn't really get to see him on my b-day as he needed to come home and sleep to prepare for another 13 hour night shift, I was wandering around the store looking for a treat to make myself feel better (yes, I am turing 28 years old and not 8. Still, I like treats!) Anyway, all of the sudden I look up and see a bleary eyed Joel walking towards me with a balloon, cards, and flowers! He said he had been sitting in front of the store writing my cards whenever I walked past him with the babes and I didn't even see him! He rides his bike to the train and then takes it to work and so his hair was wild from his helmet, his eyes were red from working all night, he just looked pitiful and oh,so sweet! It was a great birthday surprise:)

p.s.s. Another great birthday surprise was hearing THIS great news from Courtney!
