I am spoiled by my brother!!

I am not someone who has the name brand top of the line things in life. However, they are nice and treating yourself to some of the nicer things in life is just that a treat. My brother has always been one who has spoiled me in the gift giving department. I don't wear much jewerly but I do wear daily a gold bracelet he gave me when I was 25 for Christmas. A few years later My friends all had their 1st and 2nd piece of Tiffany Jewerly and I just never could come to purchase such an expensive piece for myself. He knew this and in fact he was downtown with me during a girls weekend to have lunch and saw all my girlfriends with their new bracelets. So a few weeks after that on Christmas morning I opened my first little blue box from Brian. I cried. To me it meant the world to me and he couldn't understand why I was so emotional. Although he knew it was me and knew that emotions are my trait, my thing. LOL

So this weekend we were up there so Kylie could attend the Illinois Math and Science Academy on Saturday and he walked around the corner carrying a HUGE COACH bag and he gave it to me. I received my very first (Very expensive) COACH handbag. Jeannie my sister in law is a big fan and I have made a few comments on her handbag collection but never in a million years did I believe I would ever carry a REAL one. I do have a knock off. My husband always says if you spend 100.00 for a handbag you better still have 80.00 inside. HA HA right?? I am struggling to carry it knowing how expensive these are and might I add it is gorgeous and in the perfect color. So if you see me in the next few days carrying it I am sure it will be half empty. It is slightly bigger than ones I am used to carrying but will find things to put inside. Thanks Brian and Jeannie for my wonderful 40th Birthday gift.

Look here isn't it pretty??
