Happy Birthday to Me

Every year I have another birthday.  Birthdays are measures and markers, opportunities to think about the year gone by and the year to come.  The best birthdays are those that are spent with the ones we love.  I was lucky enough to spend my birthday with Matt.  Since my birthday fell on a Thursday there wasn't much we could do between the time I get home from work and bed time.  Matt took me out to dinner for steak and he bought me some super cute flowers and a running jacket as well as some soft and warm hoodie sweatshirts.  What a great guy.  Being 29 (again) isn't so bad.

 Then, on the weekend we had a party at my parent's house.  Matt was wonderful and made me a cake from scratch.  He also made it look like the cake from the video game Portal.  That sure made me smile.
