I turned 22 today! Wow! That sounds so old, but I feel so young.
Russell had a special birthday card made for me, printed professionally, but the words were his own. Boy...it was hard not to cry. I love my Russell. I don't know how I got such a fine, godly, sweet, adoring young man. The Lord is good to me!
Russell gave me Hannah Bear for my birthday. Now I have Russell Bear from our first visit, Little Bear from our second visit, and Hannah Bear from our third visit! Russell is really starting a trend here. =D He's such a romantic. On our fourth visit we will be getting married! That is an exciting thought!
Russell and Lydia made breakfast and would hardly let me do anything besides open a pack of blueberries, which I am doing in the picture. =D
We drove to Utrecht and went bowling. That was fun, although from the scores you can see I stunk at it. =D I didn't care though. I had the time of my life because.... Well, I'm sure you can guess. (wasntme) =D
I got very nice gifts which are mostly for our house. Mom and Dad gave me a porcelain tree set and little pond (mirror) so I can start my own little Christmas village set. I got a bowl and cup set (it's plastic but looks like paper ware), a red mixing bowl, a tea tin to add to my tin collection, an adorable flowered milk pitcher, a CD of baby lullabies and hymns, a mouse daily planner, pink socks, and a pink and white striped shirt (I'm wearing it in the picture showing the necklace Russell gave me). I got spoiled!!! Lydia got me the heart frame and little red bucket.
Little kids play a game called, "I see something ___" and then name off a color. Have you noticed that there is something RED in just about every picture? Yes. It's a pillow or pillowS. Mom went pillow happy when we were last in the States. We now own a total of 9 pillows for the living room couches. We've had some fun teasing her about that, but they came in handy while Russell was here. They helped us keep from sitting too close. =D
Happy birthday to me!
Having Russell with me was the best birthday present ever! Thank you, Lord!

Oh you guys make a really cute couple! I haven't looked at your blog for over a month...my wedding sort of threw off my routine a little :) 22 is the perfect age to get married! I was worried sick about leaving my family before the wedding, but it's actually been easier to adjust than I thought it would be...God must have a special grace for new brides!
