The Birthday Finale....

Wow what a great birthday I had this year! I know this may sound like a "duh moment" to most of you, but I had a realization today. Most of us, especially women, get to the age where we start hating our birthdays....I think it comes after age 23. We all dread getting a year older, getting a few more wrinkles, and loosing our "youth." While I was thinking about that this morning, the thought came into my head, "well at least I'm not dead." DUHH!!! Each year that I get older I should view as a blessing, because there are a lot of people, young and old that don't get to see their next birthday. So the point of my story....bring on the wrinkles!! Well, maybe I will still fight those, but I will have a different attitude about birthdays!!

Moving on to a less deep subject...last night, we went to dinner with Micah and Justin. The only picture I got from the evening was this one...

Micah was doing "Fire Marshall Bill"

Today after work, David surprised me with my last gift, which was this....

Yes I know I am 10 years old, but I am super excited about my new bike. I haven't had a new bike since I was....well, 10 years old. :) Guess it was time for one!

Then we headed off to Shogun, which I was super pumped about.


Lastly, we made a trip by Huntsville Hospital, to see Mike and Lori's new baby boy who will share my birthday. He wasn't due until later on in January, but I told Lori if she had him on my birthday I would give her $100.00. Must have been some motivation, because he arrived this afternoon. She said she was starting his college fund with our gift and we are the first contributor!!


All in all it was a wonderful birthday and my last gift from David is a cruise in February, so Mexico here I come! Thank you to everyone for your wonderful birthday wishes, phone calls and cards today! I am truly blessed!
