Happy Birthday to ME!

It happens every year. The Christmas lights are taken down and life is getting back to usual and then BANG! It is my birthday. I feel a little bad for Matt because he has to come up with something for my birthday right after he finishes my Christmas. On the other hand it is kind of nice because whatever I wanted and didn’t get for Christmas is up for grabs for the birthday.


This year my birthday wasn’t a big thing. Matt was still sick with his crazy cold, it was freezing outside, and my birthday was on a Wednesday. What can you really do with that?

The day before the big day I asked my parents to come and help us pick up my Christmas present. We added an elliptical machine to our home gym, and it wasn’t going to fit in the Corolla for the ride home. So my parents were wonderful and pulled their trailer down for us. We picked the little guy up and brought him home. Then the men carried it down the stairs and got it all set up. I must say – I like my elliptical.

After we set it all up we went out to dinner and had a good time talking. It was nice.

Then it was my real birthday. My poor sick husband wished me happy birthday and then I went off to work. It has been crazy stressful at work lately, and my birthday was no exception – so I decided to take some cupcakes in for everyone. I hadn’t had time to cook them, so I ran over to Target on my lunch break and picked some up. They were actually really really good. I almost went back after work and got more.

After work Matt met me at the door and said we were going to go to dinner and a movie. He was still crazy sick, so I talked him in to just dinner. We went out to Layton to Outback (had a gift card) and had a yummy dinner of steak. Matt was nice and didn’t have them sing to me (Last year I had to sit on the saddle at Lonestar). Then we went home and relaxed the rest of the night. Matt gave me some nice silver necklaces. It was a good birthday.

Then the day after my friend Dawn invited me to go with her and her little girl to see Tangled. I was excited to see it, and it was a really good movie.

I would say that it was a good birthday. I guess 25 isn’t going to be so bad.

Since I didn't take any pictures on my birthday, here pictures of my first few birthdays.
