Happy Stellanday!

I have been a avid follower of MckMama and her Charming Kids for a while now, and I've been praying step by step, along with hundreds of others, for her sweet baby Stellan.

So, when he was in the hospital with his scary string of SVT, I joined in spreading the sound of Stellan's name with my own submission to the Stellan Name Gallery. So of course I was excited when I later saw my picture posted on her blog...


Exciting, right?! And that's the end of the story... Or so I thought!

About a month later, I caught wind of this from my good friend Heather! A very special Thanks! to her, because I never would've known about it otherwise. Pretty neat, huh? And it ended there, right? No. Of course not.

Remember when Cody was telling me about my birthday presents? Well, I got one of them last Friday. And what did I find when I opened the FedEx box? None other than the Stellan Will Live book, with my picture printed in it!

What a sweet, sweet fiance of mine! And how wonderful he is for getting such a special and personal gift. I never would have guessed this present.. and he didn't even hint at it. We're getting good at this whole keeping-surprises-in thing. Good job, hunny! Now teach my dad...

I turn 22 on Wednesday!
