HAPPY BIRTHDAY To...

Me! That's right, it's my 33rd birthday and what's not to be happy about. I had a roommate who was so excited and celebrated her birthday all month long instead of dreading it which was so refreshing to me. I started to think about it and Birthday's are truly a celebration of life, of another year you have lived through and all the blessed experiences you've been given. This last year has been wonderful, I was thinking about my birthday last year and how nothing seemed to go right that day and I think things just got better from there. I also love Birthday's because like Christmas...you get cards, phone calls, text messages from friends and family. I actually have a wall I post the pictures on so I can see everyone ALL year long. You all thought I was going to say presents didn't you? I actually really love the well wishes! Christmas Cards, especially ones with pictures in them are one of My Favorite things!

2005-Never thought I'd be making my own cakes
& liking it!
To continue on in my celebration of life here is the rest of my list of joys: 1st and foremost Family: My sweet and ever supportive Husband, my energetic lil girls who keep me young, My parents, siblings and in-laws whose friendships continue to grow. Friends Old, Friend New, and Friends Re-united like Band of Brothers their sisterhood uplifts me! My old house because it is mine! My current state of health that allows me to run with my girls and on my own, not to mention dancing through the day whenever McKenna hears any kind of music. To have food on my table...and for today a cake! The internet that allows me to stay in touch with everyone and allows me to have a resource to the questions I don't have an answer to, and gives me an outlet. A washer and Dryer because I've gone without before and the thought of doing it all by hand abhors me!
A few of My Happy 2007 Moments!

My Girls....Ahhh!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. . . Well I think in the couple of days I didn't get on to read your blog I missed a lot. But I did get to catch up on them all. I laughed, smiled, and enjoyed each one. The girls look so beautiful and everyday seems like such a great experience. I keep telling steven that you are such an example. I'm scared I'll keep my children bored in the future. Well I'll get back to blogging probably at the end of the week or beginning of next. It's been crazy unpacking and getting everything ready. Luckily Steven took the rest of the week off to help me which was nice. Nursery eh? Fun stuff. You are right anyway you look at it it's going to help you grow. It'll just be different. Cute pics of everything thanks a lot for them. Reminds me I should probably be taking a lot more than I have been. Probably will be soon. Hopefully

Mel, you are so cute! It looks like I'm a day late, but that's okay, you can celebrate your birthday all month!! I have a friend who does that too. I like the idea!!!

So... Happy Birthday Month to you!!!

Yeah! Happy Birthday! I love birthdays too! I seem to take it a little too far in some people's opinions because I love to give Dave an agenda for the entire day of what we get to do to celebrate! At least it's only a day, right? It's so much fun to read your entries! You look fabulous! Your girls are darling too! What a great life you have!
