Thanks Mom!

In the below post, my mom commented asking whether I'd received a special package yet. I didn't think so and then went to bed for the night. But about five minutes later as I was starting to drift off to sleep, I sat straight up and remembered that I'd heard a delivery truck earlier in the afternoon.

Okay... I confess... I'd been napping and didn't answer the door.

So I went and checked the porch. Sure enough.
This is what I found!
Unfortunately, I dropped my camera a few days ago and killed it. So you have to rely on the stock photo. But it came beautifully packaged in a fancy red box. I almost didn't want to open it, it was so pretty. But, of course, I did.

It's perfect. Because my mom gave it to me... her oldest daughter. And I'll wear it for my daughter. Kinda full circle.

My first birthday present for my 36th year.
Thanks Mom! I absolutely love it!
