A Fed Ex package arrived today for my birthday.
I love that my mom has to Fed Ex birthday cards. I'm totally my mother's daughter.
In it, I found the best birthday card EVER.
The front says:
April, I remember the time you came home from college and told me, "No more pink roses in this house!" I'm so thankful for your decorating advice...
And the inside:
For those of you that don't know my mom, she pasted her head on that body. And that wreath of flowers on top. I am pretty convinced that's what she would look like if I wasn't born her daughter. It does make me happy to be alive. Maybe turning older isn't so bad after all. Maybe I have finally discovered my purpose...
I don't fit well in a box, but if you are just catching up with me, I am a 30-something, a first-time home-owner, a camp director, a child development enthusiast, a mentor in the inner-city and a traveler. I sometimes pack stilettos in my backpacking pack, pair antiques with Ikea furniture and lie awake at night pondering how I can live my story in a way that brings more honor to my Creator...
And these are my adventures.

So much fun! YAY for celebrating you!!
I love your mom. And you. This made me laugh out loud. I don't remember there being an inordinate amount of pink roses in your house, though...
Haha! That's because you met me our sophomore year. After I saved the house! Even our whole basement (floors and everything) was painted "rose." Tragic.
Love it. So much. :)
So cute and creative...and happy early birthday to one of my favorite friends...love you!
