Happy Birthday to Me!

Chris was home for my birthday.  That in and of itself was a treat.  Another treat!  Amy drove herself and Misha to seminary and then to school.  That's a lovely treat everyday now!

I spent the morning of my birthday with Kristen at the symphony.  You can read about that in another post.  Chris wanted to go for lunch and I thought that maybe we could meet up with Amy somewhere since she has an "off block" (no class) before lunch every other day.  Chris wasn't off a phone call until 12:30 so that wouldn't work.  So we just planned a late lunch.

I came home from the symphony to find that Amy had bought balloons and then spent the rest of her lunch hour decorating the house for me.




Misha used her recently-earned cash to buy me two birthday presents-- a tricep rope that attaches to my weight equipment that I can use in my workouts, as well as a visor.

I love the thoughtfulness that is my girls.  It is heart-warming as a mom to know that my girls are growing into beautiful, kind, thoughtful women.  That, too, is a gift.

Chris brought me red roses.


Chris and I went for lunch at Wendys.  People may say, "Wow, that's impressive Chris!" but it was my choice.  I have been working really really hard on eating well and a baked potato and small chili seemed like a good option to keep within my eating plan.

Amy had a Young Women Recognition Dinner at the Stake Center in Longmont that evening.  Kristen was at a friend's house and Misha stayed home.  That right there is Misha in her happy place.  She did, however, wrap presents while we were gone.
