Birthday overflow

My mom called me on my birthday and told me that she hadn't had time to send out my present.

Apparently I have "emotional" siblings.

I don't blame her in the least.

My little brother was reporting for his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

about a week after my birthday, and my little sister was graduating from high school a week after that.

Not to mention, I got married a month before my birthday.

Needless to say my mom's been pretty darn busy.

{she's one of those supermoms}

But....my birthday package did come this last weekend,

and I loved it. 

I am an avid reader, when I can find time to actually read. 

My mom gave me two books. ♥ ♥

One was written by a lady in my home ward.

{it was excellent...I finished it in three days...}

She also sent an Oregon sticker. 

{which I forgot to put in the picture}

My little sister also sent me a birthday gift.

Taylor Swift greeting cards.

We have a little ritual where we send each other T. Swift cards for each other's birthday.

I was in Rexburg on her birthday, and could not find a card anywhere. 

So I sent her a ridiculous one with a fluffy dog on it. 

{and Jason sent her a dollar, he's a generous guy}.

Well, Hannah bought me a bunch of cards so next time I wouldn't have to 

rely on the unreliable Rexburg, Idaho.

Thanks Mom, and Hannah.
