WOW!!! A little overwhelming!

My sister Brooke and I were having a little chat the other day about love languages.  I am not way educated in love languages, but I know a bit.  The five include: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch.  I am not quite sure what my love language is but I can tell you what it is not: receiving gifts!  People are soooo nice to give gifts but it is just hard for me to think I deserve it!  And I just don't feel like I can give enough thanks to let the gift-giver really know how thankful I am!  Well, on Thursday I was taking a little nap downstairs when I heard someone come into my room.  It was my dad and he was setting a big garbage bag on the floor.  When he saw I was awake, he said he had a little gift for me.  The word "little" was definitely an understatement!  When I opened the bag, to my surprise, I found a MacBook Pro AND an iPad!  What?!!!  He told me it was just a "little" back-to-school gift.  I was stunned and soooo grateful!  My parents are very generous and thoughtful!

Then later that day I received a call from Stockton 12 Honda and...drumroll please...my car had arrived!  Now, I have kept it a little secret but I bought a car a couple of weeks ago.  So there is a winner of the Cafe Rio gift card...congrats Derek!  I did get a new 2012 Honda Civic and it is a charcoal grey color.  I. Love. It.  It is absolutely beautiful and it smells soooo good!  We went and picked it up that night.

Well by that time I was feeling pretty spoiled with gifts and receiving things...come on, who normally gets a new car, laptop, and iPad on the same day!  But, there was still more comin'!  We had a competition that night at our family reunion and I won!  So I got first pick at the gifts and I just couldn't pass this up...

yeah, "Our Best Bites" cookbook!  With my new love of cooking and baking I was so stoked to receive that!  And I know it will get a lot of use!  By the time I went to bed that night I was just so overwhelmed.  I had received enough gifts to last me a couple of years!  Thanks Mom and Dad for the computer and iPad!  Definitely don't deserve this all so I hope I can pass the generosity on.  I am so blessed!
