We are!!!!
Sorry I have been away for so long. Life is crazier than ever. I will stop trying to post all the fun pictures from Venezuela for a little while because I am feeling like I'm too behind.
This post might be one of a kind. I am posting about my birthday. I know, pathetic!!! Well not really. It happened a while ago and I am posting about it because I had a great one and I received the most thoughtful presents.
Let's get going with the bragging.
My very first present. It got here before my birthday (I know I should have put on makeup and change out of my Pj's )What makes this present so special is that my ML and FL showed me how much they care. They knew I love hats and the knew that I love red. They also remember that someone stole my beautiful red hat a month after buying it in NY. So when they saw it they knew I would love it. And I did, as I put it on I cried, because with everything they were/are going through, they remember ME!! I love them so much!
Here is the second one I got on my Birthday. Dave knows how much I enjoyed watching the actual lecture and how uplifting I found it. Needless to say, I found it encouraging and very touching. Now I am going to really work hard on fulfilling my dreams. China, here I go!!The last one.
It came a little late and I was very impatiently waiting. As part of tradition Dave makes me a book every year of the pictures from our past year. I love it! Every time I see them I cry. He is so good at it and I love seeing all the pictures over and over again.Here are a few of the pages.
My very favorite part!!!
This year my book had a lot of extras. Like this flap on the back and one on the front that is very sweet and I'm not sharing ;-) It also has a poem Dave wrote for me about the year 2008. Oh and it has just under 200 pages!! last year's book had about 40 :-0
My very favorite part!!!

I missed your birthday!!! :( Sorry! I'm glad you had a good one. I love the book- I wish I had one.
Tell dave I want to know where he made the book. I've been trying to find something like that so I can do it for our family. Happy late birthday! We miss you guys.
Happy late Birthday!! You look awesome for not having make-up on and being in your pj's!! Lucky you!! lol That book looks amazing...how special and what a good idea!! :)
What a cute and special hat! I didn't know you liked red now! Yay it's my favorite color. It looks great on you. That book was Nathan's family's gift to him - he loved the speech. And that PHOTO BOOK oh my goodness, what a treasure!!! 200 pages! I'd love to look through it when my hands are VERY clean.
Happy Belated birthday Belky! Looks like it was a great one. I really really want to see that book in June, and I also want to know where he did it-I want to make a book like that for Krysta's baby book. I had these great baby books for Emalyn and Tyler, but they stopped printing them before Krysta was born, so I havn't made hers at all yet. Dave is AMAZING (as are you!!)
Happy belated birthday! Love the hat beautiful girl. I'd love to look at your book. I loved last years. You guys take the cutest pictures, but then you have such adorable subjects!
I made the book using blurb.com. I think they do a great job for the price. Most online publishers won't let you do long books (over 50 pages or so) and/or charge a lot more for them. I'd definitely recommend Blurb. If you guys want to see a preview of the book, go to http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/invited/389943/1e730ecc8403c398f16b167eec9e84a8
Annoyingly, they won't let you see the whole book (sorry).
Here's another one I made:
