I am happy to say that I was able to have a lot of mini celebrations with a few of my friends over the past week and have a few more scheduled this week and next...nothing like spreading out the joy!
Michael really spoiled me this year! He really out did himself! He bought me a gorgeous watch...for the second time! (I believe I might have lost the first one, and I was really sad because I loved it so much. So he got me the same one again!! (Or one day we will uncover the lost watch, because my theory is our 3 year old little helper might have moved it somewhere for me.)) But I love my awesome watch! And I also begged and begged for a jogging double stroller and Michael surprised me once again with a super fancy one! Unfortunately it has been a million degrees here and I haven't wanted to get up at 4:00 am to take a walk, since that is the only time it is somewhat acceptable to be outside! So as soon as we go below 100, it's on!
About a week prior to my Birthday I asked Jonathan if he knew that my Birthday was coming up and he said, "Yes, momma, I am very excited, I am getting you...Cupcakes...ummm...Ice Cream...ummm...Bummooms (Balloons)...ummm...and a stroller!" (Michael had already given me the stroller and Jonathan was pretty excited about it!) I laughed and laughed. He is so funny! So as promised, Michael took him to the store and let Jonathan pick out cupcakes & balloons for me! I will never forget it! Thanks guys! (we already had lots of ice cream) They also gave me some very sweet cards.
Michael also treated me, the boys and his sister to a fun day at the circus! I used to go to the circus for every birthday since I was like 15, but we had taken a break from going recently, so it was nice to go back! I will share more in a separate post!
Another fun thing we got to do was meet up with Amy, Waylen, Scarlet and Will for brunch on Sunday the 14th! It was a great meal and good times, but unfortunately something there gave me food poisoning. Yucky Yuck. I have never had food poisoning before, so I wasn't sure what was happening. After about 9 hours straight of being sick, it finally passed and I was on the mend. But, in it's wake, I wasn't able to really enjoy dinner at Pat's to celebrate her Birthday on Sunday evening...and well pretty much anything on the day of my Birthday. But that's okay, I relaxed, slept some, enjoyed being with my boy's and doing pretty much nothing. Michael went and got dinner at my favorite Mexican place. It was yummy. I guess the silver lining is, I LOST 4 LBS because of it!!! I needed something to help push me over the hump, I had stopped losing only a month after Ben was born and still have a bit to go. So I will see the positive it! :)
Thank you so much for the phone calls, texts, cards, gifts, facebook posts, dinners, lunches and well wishes. I felt very, very loved! And I love ya right back! Here are some photo's of all the celebrations...
