maybe happiness didn't have to be about the big, sweeping
circumstances, about having everything in your life in place. maybe it was about
stringing together a bunch of small pleasures

(i wrote this post in the beginning of April but life got crazy and I never posted it so.. here it is! :)


I love my Momma very VERY much but... I had never dyed Easter eggs! Can you believe this?! I can. ;)

So I was determined to dye some this year.. So we ended up dying ALOT!



We had our new married BFFs over and we went to town!

I had so much fun! Tie Dye eggs. Golden Eggs. I love you eggs. Neon but not so neon eggs....

One egg. Two egg. Red Egg. Blue Egg.


My hands were dyed for a couple of days following thanks to the tie dye eggs. All is well because I have now filfulled my long time dream of dying eggs!


(cant wait to do this with kids;)

BIRTHDAY!
Lets start off by saying just how much I love birthdays... ESP mine! Its the one day... or month of the year it can be all about you and no one can complain. Its weird tho. I felt a little different about it this year. I still wanted to have an AMAZING birthday full of fun and love but "I" is now an "US" and I love it that way!
Mr. Hammer made me feel like his queen!
I had a hard time getting off work for just the day of so I was a little worried about how it was gonna turn out and that night, another night Mr. Hammer had to work late, I was laying in bed when he came home. I heard him start to sing and as he came around the corner he was holding a "birthday month" cake! I just LOVE him!
The day of has been a huge surprise and to my surprise it started the night before! We went to my favorite Brick Oven and started to drive off into the middle of no where. I honestly had no idea but it was so fun wondering and looking for signs of where we were and watching Mr. Hammers face so filled with excitement over his surprise! It was great! And we ended up here!
Johnson Mill B&B!
(Our room was where the french doors are on the second story.)
It is and was SO wonderfully beautiful! We had a blast watching my favorite movie, The Blind Side, and making a midnight run to the gas station for something to munch.
The next day (the day of) we spent it in full on LOVE mode. I didnt care what we did but that didnt matter cause it turned out amazing! I have been wanting to go to the Zoo and we did! I had been wanting to go shopping and we did! and lots of other fun adventures that I didnt photograph. (I LOVED the wonderful birthday poster the best nephews in the world made for me! ESP the "bithday surprise flavor"! ;)
All in all it was a magical day that the most wonderful husband couldnt have made any better! Thank you so much Mr. Hammer for always making all my dreams come true!
