Tobin gave me a jar to keep things in, and a clay red-tailed hawk. I love them! 

Matt and the kids gave me beautiful worry stones, a new nose ring, a new oil diffuser, and the sweetest little sleeping fox. They were wonderful presents. I felt really special. 

We went to Matt's sister's house for breakfast. It was delicious: bacon, sausage, eggs, toast, and hash browns. 

Matt's mom gave me a really special gift. It's so beautiful and special, and I love it. 

I got to spend some special time with my mom and my sister. I wrote something special for my mom for Mother's Day. 

I wrote something special for Matt's mom for Mother's Day. I was really excited to read it to her.
