Happy Day!

Jun 5, 2013 By Layla

We’re home sweet home!! We had tons of fun with friends and family, and we’re thankful to have made it home safe and sound. I posted lots of Instagrams as we made our way to Minnesota and back, but I’m hoping to get some of our DSLR pics uploaded so that I can blog about my favorite parts of the trip soon.

But for now, it’s my birthday- so I’m off to celebrate the first day of my 39th year!

I celebrated the last day of my 38th with a trip to the zoo yesterday…

Flamingos_Zoo

It was wonderful, but very hot, so I think a movie theater might be on my wish list today!

PS- The winner of the Farmgirl Paints cuff giveaway is:

Congrats, Sonya! I’ll put you in touch with Becky this week!

    Happiest of birthdays to you! I am racking my brain trying to think of the sweet girls’ name in the photo with you. Married to a former member of Sela? At least it looks like her. I was fortunate to get to hear her speak at a church here near Nashville. Are you buddies or did you get to hear her as well? I love the web of life and seeing people I “know of” that know each other.
