Happy Birthday To Me...

Ahh...another year older, another year wiser, just like any other day...but only it's not.

I've had a GREAT birthday. This has been the first year that I've been able to convince Dave that I really am a fan of Birthday Chunnaka (sp) and he should be to. He embraced the idea this year and did everything he could to make this a very special birthday!

My celebration started last Sunday, when Reilly arrived in my arms sporting a brand new, "I love my mommy" bib that is waterproof. If you're reading this and don't realize how amazing that is in itself...you must not hang around us very often! The celebration continued on Wednesday, when I received an itunes gift card so I could get some of the cool apps on my iphone that I always want but never "purchase." Then, more celebrating on Friday, when I got a new pink wallet to take the place of mine that has been falling apart for quite some time now.

On to the real day, which is today, I got a new Nintendo DS puzzle game, the movie "Fireproof" and Bubbers got me a coloring book that had a message inside saying he can't wait for me to teach him how to color.

This morning, my dear friend Lisa invited Bubbers and I to breakfast to start my day! We had a great time catching up and visiting. My sister and brother in law, Kim and Glenn, offered to keep Rei for us this afternoon so Dave and I could go on a "date" to finish our celebrations. We dropped him off and had a great time seeing the moving "The Bounty Hunter" and then enjoying a late lunch/early dinner at Texas Roadhouse.

We went back and picked up Rei, then stopped off at Mike and Teri's for a quick visit before heading home and gettin' in our jammies.

Although Dave has made my day very special this year, I received the greatest gift of all earlier this year in October. The best present of my life was born on October 27th. It was exactly one year ago today that the Dr. confirmed that there was indeed a baby in my belly and told me that I was going to be a mommy. I'm not sure what else you can ask for on your 30th birthday.

I'm so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. I've had so many phone calls, texts, face book messages and well wishes. It's been a great day! I'd kinda like to have a birthday everyday.
