Birthday Stuff:

That was supposed to be my IMM this week but yesterday was my birthday and I got a huge surprise from my amazing, wonderful, incredible,awesome, and many many more adjectives like that husband. But first let me show you what my amazing mother in law got me:



That is a Vera Bradley purse! The 3rd one she has bought me in 4 months! I think this one might be my favorite though. If you were curious I also have the Mod Floral Pink and Raspberry Fizz patterns.

We went to dinner with my family yesterday afternoon. It was all Beau, my husband's idea. He got everyone together in Chattanooga. About 45 minutes away and the weekend before Christmas. The traffic was horrible. But we all managed to make it. I had some suspisions all week that he was up to somthing but I wasn't certain. At dinner I started opening all my cards and everyone started taking pictures and Beau went to "get our camera out of the car". He came back with this:



Yep, that's a KINDLE!!!!!
This was by far the best Birthday I have had in years!


 

Isn't it beautiful!?

I have already preordered Darklight and bought:




So my week/birthday was awesome!
For my b-day, if you were wondering I also got a Vera Bradley checkbook cover from my Sister, and a Books A Million gift card from my friend, and money from my parents and grandma! My Mom also made my a cheesecake instead of a birthday cake. So I had a amazing birthday as you can see!



Aren't we cute!
Sorry for the extremely long IMM this week!

Happy birthday! I hope you love your Kindle as much as I love mine. If you didn't get a cover for it, I would recommend that you order one immediately. It doesn't add much size and protects it from accidental drops. You got some great books this week too. Enjoy!
