So many Reasons...

Yesterday was my birthday, I turned the dreaded 26.
For a day that I was completely dreading, it sure turned out to be wonderful.
Lots of reasons made it wonderful, here's a condensed list of those reasons:
I woke up to a Birthday card taped to my front door with instructions on how I would be getting multiple surprises throughout the day.
What a creative husband I have.
My first clue took me to my car, where I found a new license plate cover. Why that cover was broken, and needed to be replaced, will remain a mystery.
Because I said so. =)
I then ventured to school, where my entire pharmacology class sang to me, oy. And one of my nursing friends surprised me with a gift, how nice is that.
After school I headed in to work, not so excited to be honest.
However my awesome work friends surprised me with a decorated desk, with all the trimmings.
And the amazing company I work for gave me gorgeous flowers, a gift certificate to Market Street Grill, and a $100 Visa to buy whatever makes me happy.
Oh what a great day at work. =)
At 5:30 I ventured home to find a hot husband sitting in my living room, which had been decorated from head to toe.
Balloons, streamers, signs, you name it. It was there.
He handed me my next clue.
Which said: "Sometimes you use me to relax, sometimes you use me to workout, with the push of a button anything is possible."
After realizing he wasnt referring to himself, I found a gift certificate to Forever 21 in our DVD Player, wahoo!
I then was told that my next clue was inside of a balloon.
My entire floor was covered in balloons. So I grabbed knife and began the popping extravaganza.
After popping 99% of them I found my clue, how he arranged those balloons in such a way that it took me popping every one of them, was quite ingenious.
My husband the graduate. (1 week woo!)
I eventually found Super Mario Bros for the Wii in my tennis bag.
A fog-horn behind the TV.
FYI....I told Blake if ever he decides to change our babies names during their baby blessing, I will sound a foghorn in Sacrament meeting and walk out.
Thanks for providing me a foghorn for such measures. Jax got a kick out of it anyways.
After those clues we headed to my parents house for Pizza and cake.
Everyone gave me such nice gifts. Gift card to Nordstrom, a digital picture frame for my desk, & $$$$$$. ohhhh lala. It was wonderful.
I love my family so much.
Just before we left to come home Blake told me there were still a couple clues left to my next presents. Next presents? I thought I was done!
However I found an Ipod in my trunk, which unbeknownst to me had been driving around with me ALL day =)
And when I got home, my last present was an Ipod cover to keep it safe from harm.
Sheeeeesh, I dont know what I did to deserve such a great husband and family but I sure am grateful.
I guess 26 is already looking up for me =)
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes, you all helped me have one AMAZING BIRTHDAY!
