happy birthdays!

Kel and me at Kendi's wedding!

So this week, or really from Thursday until today, I have celebrated FIVE, yes count them FIVE birthdays!! Thursday was Kelly and Luka's Birthday, Friday was Brooke's birthday and Saturday was Naomi's birthday and today is my Mom's birthday. So I have been to 3 birthday parties in the past 4 days. One thursday night, one friday night, and one sunday night!! Oh And in two weeks from today is my sister's birthday! Insane!! All these birthdays! So fun!

But I really wanted to just send a little love from one friend to another, from one side of the world to the other!! Kelly has been one of my best friends for about 3 years now! We were R.A's together our junior year of college! Kel is seriously one of the most loyal friends I have and someone that I can tell anything and everything to... but I have already done a whole blog just about how great she is so if you want to know more about how incredible of a friend she is to me, you can read my blog about her :) Hope you had a great birthday kel! I love you so so so much!! Thank you for who you are in my life! You are a huge blessing and gift to me!!

Me and Brooke out for her birthday lunch at Čajna Hiša!

Well, I don't know how long you want me to talk about Brooke and the impact she has made on my life in the past year... bc it could take me all day and I am not kidding! She immediately felt like family to me! It's not very often that I feel that with someone and so quickly! Really she is one of the biggest blessings the Lord has given me in my life! Her friendship and mentorship has changed me and my life! I am different and better person because of Brooke. I really mean that! The Lord has spoken significant truth through her countless times in the past year of knowing her! I am so blessed by her and so thankful for her investment in my life! She will never know :) For her birthday I gave her a thank you card instead of a birthday card bc I found it more appropriate and maybe thats weird but I was just so thankful for her birthday... haha! I thank the Lord everyday for her!! Brooke, I words cant express what you mean to me! Thank you for everything! I love you more then words!!

It's been another great week! I feel like I have said this a lot lately but this is and has been the best FALL season of my life for so many reasons!! Last night, I couldn't sleep because I was just thinking and my brain wouldn't shut up, but while I had all that time to think, I just thought about how joyful I am and how happy I am and how great this season in my life has been! Its been and continues to be an invaluable season in my life!! I feel so at peace and its a glorious blessing from the Lord Himself!!

Oh and another reason I couldn't sleep is because I am so excited that tamma and dave (my aunt and uncle) are coming NEXT WEEK!!!!!!! I will get to spend just a few days with them but I am thrilled for the time that we will get!! Time is flying by! I only have 8 weeks left! I have so many mixed emotions! But no worries!! :) Life is good!! God is good!!!!!
