My Birthday


Another birthday, they always seem to pop up. I am just so amazed how quick time passes. What a great birthday I had. My husband and kids took good care of me.


Look at this yummy meal that was made for me...chicken bruchetta with a caprese salad. I was able to sit back while my hubby made it for me and the kids helped.


Then they made me this chocolate cake from scratch...no box cake here. This was the most delicious chocolate cake i've ever had. I'll have to use this recipe when I make the chocolate macaroon cake.




Then I got country themed gifts. I got some mason jar drinking glasses, a rooster nightlight and yankee candle (clothes line scent), farmhouse hand soap and lotion. I also got a Charlie Hall cd and a new memory card for my camera. And of course, birthday cards that make me cry. Even though this gifts were great, My favorite is....


from Giana...she signed my birthday card!!! This is the first card she ever signed!!! She actually wrote her name for the very first time a few days earlier. Now this made me cry. I will cherish it forever.

And then my husband posted this on Facebook:

On this day July 21 of 1971 a baby girl was brough into this world by our almighty God. Her name was Dawn Marie Novak and today I have the blessings of being the husband of this wonderful and godly woman. Babe I just want to tell you that God has given me a piece of happiness that will live in my heart forever, and today I am celebrating your life with tremendous gratitude and honor. I thank you for your love and I pray that our saviour will allow us to grow old together. Happy Birthday Te Amo Con todo mi corazon xoxoxoxo----------------

I am so blessed to be loved by my children and husband. They make me feel like the best wife and mother in the world. They are the best thing that ever happened to me besides Jesus. And they know how to make me feel special. I just thank God for them. Love you guys!! So much!!!
