Happy Birthday to us!

So, Hunter's and my birthdays are 5 days apart.  (That's an odd sentence, and I apologize if it's worded incorrectly...)  Hunter's birthday is on June 28th, and mine is today!  I LOVE birthdays!  It comes from the fact that they were kind of a big deal in our house growing up.  The dining room would be all decked out and birthdays were just a lot of fun!  In the past, Hunter and I have just kind of had to celebrate our birthdays at the same time since we didn't get to see each other very often.  This year has been especially fun because I could make his birthday more about him and special.  I blew up balloons, decorated the table, and I got a dozen cupcakes from the same little bakery that my patient gave me cupcakes from last month or so on Hunter's birthday!  When he walked in and saw them, he said, "Man!  I was gonna get you cupcakes from the same place!"  Great minds think alike.

I knew he loved the Oreo cupcakes, so I got several of those.  They are DElicious.  I don't know why it didn't occur to me to take the lid off of the cupcake container to take the picture.

I want to publicly wish my AMAZING husband a happy birthday!  He is so good to me and there is no other reason why he would be so awesome except that Christ's love just flows through him and pours out all over me!  I could not be more thankful for the relationship we have!

The birthday kids.  P.S. this is the day it was 108 degrees in Columbia.  And apparently the restaurant's A/C gave out after it got to be around 105.  So forgive the shine.  FML.

We all met in Columbia went out to dinner for both of our birthdays with Hunter's family and my sister.  It was so nice to see everyone!  I miss my family when we're not together!  It was awesome getting to spend some time with Anna, and we basically talked the whole time!

My wonderful family-in-law!  God has also blessed me richly with them!

And last but certainly not least, my fantastic little sister, who makes me look unreasonably pasty.  Disclaimer, she had spent the whole day on the lake.  And is much more tan than me in general.  Plus I am kinda pasty.

My dad and Robin weren't able to make it for very good reasons, but they sent us some great gifts that we absolutely love!  They got us a purple little canvas-y basket with "The Crumleys" written in orange on it, and a Clemson Tervis tumbler!  I do love a good Tervis!

So tonight, I got sent home from work early because once everything calmed down, we were overstaffed.  Hence, why I'm blogging at 3 a.m.  I texted Hunter that I was leaving, and my sweet man was waiting at the door and threw balloons up in the air to greet me because he knows how much I love birthdays!  I freakin love that kid.  And he's been giving me a present a day.  I don't know what I did to deserve him.

We are blessed beyond measure!  Thanks for all the birthday love!
