Birthday Celebration----26!

My 26th birthday was this past Saturday ..... my last birthday as a Lemmon! 

First let me start off by saying that the weathermen had predicted all the way UP TO SATURDAY that it was going to rain all day.  I prayed, prayed, prayed, and prayed some more for sunshine on my birthday....that is all I wanted--------- sunny for the day. 

Well----- ask, and you shall recieve!     Sunshiney, 80 degree day on May 21st!
[God, I know that I have thanked you already but I want to do it again.....Thank YOU for the sunshine on my birthday! It made the day perfect! Amen.]


Not only was the sunshine perfect, but EVERYTHING was perfect!   I woke up to flowers and an IOU to a Schwinn Lakeshore Cruiser (its on back order- be here in Aug.) and homemade blueberry pancakes!

Oh WAIT!  The night before (Friday night) Jerad took me to a very nice dinner at Legends- Walker's Bluff.  My FAVORRRRRITE thing to do in the spring/summer/fall is to eat outside and this was PERRRRRRRRFECT!  If you havent been there yet, I suggest you go b/c it is a gorgeous place with great food!

So back to Saturday..... I had my best friends/ family/ fiance'/sunshine/ lake, etc. all together to celebrate!  What more could a girl ask for?!   

Here are a few pictures from the day....

DARLING GIFTS

Many gifts, too many to mention....but I did want to show off a few that are SO stinkin cute! Inside the "Heather" bag were 2 towels to match our boat embroidered with BUSCH & an anchor.  Little cooler bag with my new last name :)

Last but not least, my wedding dress hanger. 

3 more months and it will be hanging on there! (woah, I have a lot to do in 3 months)

BOATING

LOVE

SKIING

&&&& to end the weekend with a suprise ice cream cake from Jerad!    (He said that the cake lady might have been drunk when she wrote the message on the cake)  See below....      Regardless, its the thought that counts, and this cake was wonderful!

Thank you to ALL who celebrated and made my birthday perfect!  A special THANK YOU to my family who made sure that the day was perfect with food/ cake etc.

&& lastly, thank you to my best friends and my fiance' who made me feel like a princess (I know thats cliche', but its true) on my 26th birthday.  You all mean the world to me and I never want to have a birthday without each one of you there!

Here's to another year of happiness, love, smiles, laughter, and friendship....nothing less!   :)
