Friday Favorite || Surprises and White Roses

Today's Friday Favorite is a little different than most.  Yesterday was my 21st birthday.  Wow, I remember turning 18 and thinking "man I'm getting old" HA.  Strangely I don't feel one single day older.  Oh well, guess it will catch up with me some day.  :)

 

It was a day of web designing, trying to pour hydrogen peroxide on my horse's cut, talking with the internet provider trying to fix a problem, baking cupcakes, making up a recipe for frosting, chatting with a dear friend, relaxing, and then.... a surprise.  

 

White Roses

 

My dad had just pulled in the drive, walked into the house and called out "Elizabeth, could I get your help?".  Lizzy was making my favorite dinner, so I volunteered.   I was speechless.  Like speechless-speechless... when I saw him.  In his hands were 2 dozen of the prettiest white roses that I've ever seen.  

 I now have a new favorite flower..... :)

 

After the shock was finally over, lots of hugs and thank-yous, the first thing I thought about was grabbing photos while there was still some light outside.

 

 

Earlier yesterday morning Lizzy handed me a little package of adorable hair sticks!  I had been wearing "knitting needles" recently.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Knitting Needles.  Now, for all those knitters out there - don't judge ;-)  They did their job just fine.

 

Thanks Lizzy for taking my birthday photos for me!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The photo session wouldn't have been complete without my baby.  I've told Mr. Bingley that he needs to work on his eye-contact skills, but he just won't listen.

 

 

Happy Friday!
