SO, shortly after we moved in michelle had her birthday. she wanted a birthday party desperately and i can't stand throwing them. but if we were going to have a party for her, it had to be before any of our stuff arrived. so we decided to have it the weekend before her special day.
it was hard on michelle not really having any friends to invite, but we got lucky with a family we previously knew in our old ward visiting some family, some friends from our new ward and two other families that i knew when michelle was just a baby. in the end, our home was absolutely filled with kids and parents. i think michelle had a great time.
i was forever grateful to my male friends that pitched in and entertained the kids in the backyard. i am certainly not one to play with a whole bunch of kids and for them to take over and do it took away some stress to an already overwhelming hectic day.
michelle even scored gifts. i told people there wasn't a need for presents but they were generous. i thank them for their kindness.
michelle is my sweet little terror. she gets lost in the mix a lot of the time which breaks my heart. i worry that because of this neglect, she'll seek it elsewhere and come home one day a crack head that's pregnant. this gives me a load of motivation to try harder to keep her in my foresight. she drives me crazy but she can flash you a smile that melts your heart. she's a bug whisperer and can spot a bug a million miles away. she'll also save it's soul from doom by fearlessly rescuing it to safety. i pray i don't screw up her sweet spirit. i know that God has something amazing for her. now if only i could get her to stop dancing naked for a moment so that i can explain that to her.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE LADY! HOPE IT WAS A GREAT DAY.
