The Happiest Birthday

I had a little meltdown when I turned 25, I felt hideous when I turned 26 (because I was 7 months pregnant.) I hardly even noticed 27, but 28. . . that sounds old! Sigh. . . Terry said "Oh Yeah! Just wait until you are turning 30!" (He is having a little midlife crisis in the form of exercise, but that is a post for another day!)

But anyway, today was such an awesome day (despite turning one year older!) Thanks to the sweetest daughter ever, that woke me up to "Happy Birthday MOMMY!" & Thanks to the cutest girlfriends ever, that took me out to lunch and played with me at the mall all day! & Thanks to my seriously hardworking hubby that didn't have time to buy me a gift so he let me go to the mall and SPOIL MYSELF (See the above outfit & jewelry!) & Thanks to the most wonderful Parents! My Dad was offered Jazz tickets tonight, but couldn't go because he was helping babysit my kids, so he kindly offered the tickets to us (GO JAZZ! WE WON!) & Thanks to the sweet old man sitting behind us that was so funny and generous, he kept giving us cans of soda, nachos, & popcorn from his catered box seats because he didn't want anything to go to waste! As we were leaving he waved, and grinned, and yelled "Have a nice life!" and I just smiled back at him and thought "I really do!"
