Another Year Older

My birthday was Tuesday of this week. It turned out to be a pretty great day, even if the first little bit was marred by worry. At 12:15am, I got a call from my mother. I thought she was calling to give me my first "happy birthday" of the day. That wasn't the call I received. She said that my little sister, Sabrina, had been in a car accident earlier that day and was in the hospital. She was driving a BMW and had a head-on collision, due to black ice, with another BMW on Highway 202 in Tehachapi. Both drivers, by some kind of miracle, survived. Bree is, besides being scratched, bruised, and feeling ache-y everywhere, doing well(as well as can be expected, I suppose). We are very blessed. I am so grateful that she's okay. I hope she knows how much I love her. Keep her in your prayers.

The rest of my day was pretty great. I slept in, which was extra great since I didn't sleep well because of the whole worrying about my sister thing. I went to the Primrose Retreat in Spanish Fork at 2:30 for a maternity massage. That was my birthday present from Tyler. It was amazing. They have a special table with a big bowl for your belly so that you can lie on your stomach for the massage. I could have stayed in that table for hours. I miss being on my tummy! It was relaxing and fabulous. After my massage, I read in the "relaxation room" until Ashley came to join me. She got a manicure while I got a pedicure. I was pampered and it was wonderful. We also shared a pink champagne cupcake.

We had dinner with friends at Red Robin and then friends and family came over to help eat the Coldstone Birthday Cake with which Tyler surprised me. Aw, that sweet husband of mine. Here I am opening my presents:

The items in the picture are some of the clothes I got from the Prestgards. Cute cute! They also gave me some baby scrapbook paper, a Friskers paper cutter, and some more cute maternity clothes. I received lots of cute Disney and baby scrapbook items from Shanda and Kensington. Kensington took the credit for picking out everything. She's a little cutie.

Anyways, thanks for all the birthday wishes and Happy New Year to you all! Loves!
