Hi Everyone!  I just wanted to give a BIG thank you to all of my friends & family on Facebook for all of the kind birthday wishes yesterday.  It was amazing to start the day with so many wishes waiting for me on my wall, and I read each and every one that came in throughout the day and into the night.  I feel so very fortunate and special to know each and every one of you, and appreciate you taking the time to leave me a little message.  I had a wonderful day, and thank you for being a part of it.

I thought I would share with you some of my fun from yesterday.  School was 2 hours late for the girls, which was spectacular because I was able to spend the morning with them.  I thought that was just perfect!

After getting the little ones off to school, Bob and I had a scrumptious lunch at a local Thai/Asian Fusion restaurant called Wild Ginger.  I love the sushi rolls, but my favorite dish has to be the Indonesian Seafood Pot.  It is loaded with giant scallops and shrimp swimming in a creamy coconut tomato sauce.

The day would not be complete without a shopping trip of some sorts.  I opted for the art supply store, Plaza Art.  The selection of pens, paper, journals, mediums, pencils, paints, brushes, etc is staggering.  I felt like I had stepped into heaven.  Needless to say, I made a few selections

Bob and the kids got me a chocolate ice cream cake from Cold Stone’s-just sinful!  I was too full from lunch to eat dinner, so guess what I had?!  Yep, cake!  It was awesome!  The girls shot off confetti cannons…a little crazy, but fitting for our household.  It was tons of fun, and made getting older not so bad.  I am looking forward to the week ahead because I still have celebrating to do with more friends and family.  I am truly a lucky girl!

I now realize getting older is not so bad, but rather what you make of it…just like all of life I suppose.  xx
