I was so excited to come downstairs this morning and make my way to my spot at the dining room table. That is where our family leaves things for each other for our birthday, special occasion or just because. I couldn't wait to see what was waiting for me.
Much to my surprise, I saw some familiar shaped boxes and got very excited. I also had a card from my hubby waiting there too. I always open my cards first - don't know why, I just do. Next to my card were three Pandora boxes. I couldn't wait to open them up to see what was inside.
So, I opened the small one first. it was a little white box with a Pandora ribbon tied nicely around it. Inside were 4 spacer beads for my bracelet. Darryl had picked them out for me and were from him and the kids. They were the spacers with the dangling charms hanging from them. He got a pearl (his birthstone), a ruby (our kids birthstone - July) and a pink one (my birthstone). He also got a dangling heart that was just from him to me. In a larger red box I had a pumpkin orange multi gem bead in there - I love fall colors and lately have been nuts over spiced pumpkin and mustard colors! Darryl knew I liked that color and got that bead as well.
My daugther, Stephanie (who just landed in Oregon yesterday to be in my niece's wedding on Saturday) had left a box with hubby that had two clip beads in it. She originally got me my Pandora bracelet for Mother's Day in May along with one glass Murano bead. I still only had one bead on it until this morning. Pretty cool, huh?!
I guess I know what I will be wearing today!
Hope you all have a great day today!

Happy Birthday! Hope you got a good dessert. (I'm not a big regualr cake person either - give me cheesecake or ice cream cake!)
