My birthday was WONDERFUL this year!! A few weeks ago I literally forgot how old I was turning. I knew I was turning 27 or 28 but couldn't remember exactly. After doing the math though I couldn't believe how OLD I was getting!! Okay, so I know it is not that old. I feel completely content where I am at in my life. There is nothing that I would change. I have a loving husband that honors his priesthood and loves me. I have three BEAUTIFUL daughters that bring me more joy then words can express. I'm able to stay at home and nurture my children. There is nothing more that I could need or want--my family means EVERYTHING to me.
We started my birthday celebration a little early on Saturday and went out to eat at Dennys for breakfast. General Conference doesn't start until 11 A.M for us so we made it an outing. Mylee and I received coupons for a free grandslam for our birthdays. I bought them chocolate milk though because I felt bad not paying anything (well expect for a tip), and the girls LOVE chocolate milk. It was a fun morning. And conference was WONDERFUL as always!! I love how conference is always around my birthday. I had prepared conference workbooks for the girls to work on and utilized the free games on scriptures4kids.com which Kelsey loved!!
On Monday sweet Kathy Cammack--whom I've told you about before (serve with her in YW's and she's like another grandmother to my girls)--came and took Mylee for the day. Then Marti Wallace (serve with her in YW's too, used to be my YW leader as a Beehive!) treated me to a pedicure and manicure and took Lanaea while I went to get that done. It was SOOO wonderful!! While I was gone getting my toes and nails done, Marti baked and frosted me a birthday cake!! That same day I also got a stellar deal on cereal at Walgreens--.20 a box for Frosted Mini Wheats and Raisin Bran--my two favorites!!! I emptied what they had on the shelf! When I returned home I picked up Kelsey from school, then Kathy brought Mylee home shortly after with a whole Lasagna in hand for us to have for dinner!!! Wha-hoo!! So I didn't have to make dinner. The girls adorned my birthday cake with some candy I had left over from Mylee's cake and we sang happy birthday later. Blake treated me to a shopping spree at Academy (sports store) so I could get some new workout clothes that I had been needing/wanting.
It was a WONDERFUL day!!
