I will be the first to admit that I am not the easiest person to buy gifts for...not because I am picky, but because I can never pinpoint something I specifically want. Many of the things I "need" do not fall into the exciting gift category, so I usually have to end up buying them myself. For example, this year I needed a new hand mixer, some of my favorite shampoo (Toni and Guy Superstar), place mats, and a new front door mat. Although, I would have been thrilled to get any one of them...I don't think my gift givers wanted to be known as the one that gave me the door mat. Of course, then there is the opposite side of the spectrum...the dream gifts. I would love a Canon Rebel camera, a new computer, laser hair removal, a maid, a cook, and to sleep in every morning...none of which I will have anytime soon. Now, the reason I am talking about all this gift giving is because I just celebrated my 28th birthday. It was a great, low-key day...lots of relaxing, good food, family and friends. My gifts were quite nice this year...clothes, purse, gift cards, and money BUT there was one gift that stood out above all the rest. I would have never thought to give such an awesome gift, and it is my absolute FAVORITE!!! My blog isn't just a blog anymore...it is an OFFICIAL website. www.catchingupwiththecarters.com My cousin-in-law Michele...bought me the domain for my birthday. I must admit that I feel extremely important to have my own website, and you should feel important for knowing someone that has their own website...just kidding:) Actually, this gives me newly added pressure to do a better job at keeping my site updated. I am feeling quite motivated and will probably stay up far later than I should tonight working on it (leaving me wishing for the above dream gift of sleeping in.) Thank you again Michele!
