12 years ago today....


my life changed forever. for the better.
happy birthday to my oldest, jacob coleman, otherwise known as jake. {aka: jake-man}
today, i woke up feeling blessed. thankful. lucky. privileged. fortunate. favored. full of gratitude. overwhelmed by one of god's greatest gifts in my life...you. it's been a WoNdErFuL 12 years. an adventure. you make me so proud. i hesitate to even try to recall all of the reasons why...because i'm sure to miss some. yep, because you're FULL to the brim with awesomeness!

speaking of awesomeness...jake's had a pretty great day! when we realized school was cancelled on his birthday, (due to the snow) he invited a few of his good friends over to stay the night. i'm not sure what all they did...but i know it involved LOTS of eating, laughing, video games, basketball in the playroom, watching movies, MORE eating, & i {might've} overheard some discussion about gIrLs!! :D (oh, and NOT much sleeping!!) after his friends left, we went shopping for his birthday gifts from us. he got a new video game, baseball gloves, a shirt, & a camouflage coat. we ate dinner at the infamous el palacio. and, then he headed off to basketball practice. pretty much a PeRfeCt day for the BiRtHdAy boy!!
