For Me?

What is happiness? To me, happiness is all about the gifts. (HA! I bet you thought I'd say something sentimental or deep or maybe even sweet)
When someone sees something that reminds them of you and then uses their hard earned cash to get it because they know you'll like it...well, it gets me all emotional (really? No...but the point is, I really like getting stuff).

You want to know what else I like?
(I know, I know...you're on the edge of your seats aren't you...you've been pondering All Things Ruth for some time now and I'm about to unlock all the secrets. You're welcome.) 
SuPriZeS! I'll let you in on a little secret, I've always wanted a surprise party (Oops,,you're not supposed to tell people you want a surprise party are you?).

Okay, so what do you get when you slap those two magical things together?
A surprise gift!
What??
That's insanely awesome.

Now, how would you feel if someone that knew you so incredibly well were to surprise you with the most miraculous gift imaginable?

That, my friends, is exactly what happened to me.

My Heavenly Father blessed me with the most precious gift...
He knows me better than I know myself...

I wonder how I could've ever felt like my life was complete without her...
but in my heart, I know that I never really felt whole...until now

Every time I look at you, sweet baby girl, I can't help but smile.

When there's chaos all around me (mostly caused by your older siblings), I look at you and the world slows down and all I can see is your sparkling eyes and sweet smile. You make my heart sing with happiness...and that is exactly what you are to me: my happiness.
