I'VE HAD A BIRTHDAY, SHOUT "HOORAY!!!"

Yes, I have officially turned another year older and am now in my Mid Thirties.... Yuck! That is a bummer:) Yesterday was my Birthday and I was a little unsure about it, there was a lot going on and Andy was again out of town:) But it turned out to be one of the best Birthdays yet!!!
The day began with breakfast out instead of working out! Which was way fun! Andy figured since he would be gone he would take me out for Breakfast, which in high school used to be a tradition with a very close friend! So that was cool! (Andy told me calories don't count on your birthday! So that was nice to have Strawberry Crepes instead of a yogurt and banana!)
I received a wonderful gift from a doctor in Utah who made my dads surgery go smoothly! He found that one artery was 99 percent closed... what a miracle that the doctors sent him in when they did and that they were able to get this fixed! Here's hoping we really don't make this surgery routine:)
I have some GREAT friends and family who just showered me with attention and love all day long. I received visitors, calls, texts!, calls, emails, gifts, cards.... it was great! I think the best thing about birthdays when we are OLD, is that it reminds us of the great people in our lives who think about us and care about us! Thanks to all who shared a moment with me yesterday!
One of the best things about Andy being gone is that I get to celebrate again tomorrow! Andy is great! Always making sure that I was OK yesterday and then for my Birthday gift he is letting me attend a photography workshop in Salt Lake when I go in June with the kids! That is the best gift he could give me! I am so excited to go!!! All in all It was a Great Day!!!

wow you are a busy girl! sorry i missed your bday- so happy late bday. sure would be stressful trying to have a good day when your dad is having surgery but i am glad all went well - that is an awesome present and a sigh of relief to know he is doing well. you tend to always worry about others and trying to help them that sometimes i wonder if you don't forget about yourself. but that is the gospel in action and that is what good friends do. you are a trooper and a good example. well maybe i will catch you on your bday next year and not be late! take care
