What a wonderful Birthday

Last week was my Birthday and what a WoNdErfUl DaY it was!! I don't even know where to begin. It started off with a great friend texting me the night before at 10:30 asking if I was still up and than we continued to catch a little back-and-forth about us giving up pop the next day! Thanks Kristen. Kristen and I decided to give up pop completely and if either one of us were to slip and have one we would owe the other one a $1.00. We've both been good so far and I am feeling Great and hope to continue on.

That next morning the calls, texts, e-mails, facebook etc. were amazing. I truly felt so loved and blessed to have such wonderful friends and family in my life. I am surrounded by so many people that truly impact my life for the good and they are so helpful and

caring and I can never say thank you enough.

I got up, got things rolling Bella and Parker made me cards, and than I got to take a break and Lindsay was so sweet and took Parker and Alex for me for a few hours so that I could have some me time!!! Bella was at school. Thanks Lindsay it was so nice. I spent some time with my little sister in the hospital. She had another back surgery so my mom, Jordan and I ate lunch with her in the quiet!! Plus, kids under 5 aren't aloud due to the h1n1 so I wouldn't have been able to go if it wasn't for this great break.

Than I came home enjoyed some time with the kids and than John brought me beautiful purple flowers (purples my favorite color), candles, treats and more. He left me some sweet notes and had planned out a fun night!

Than to top off my AMAZING day, I was joined by 6 of my Awesome friends at Applebees! Half price appetizers, great company and lots of laughter. Thanks girls it was a wonderful way oto finish off a great birthday. The big one is coming next year '30'... it's just another year, right?
