Birthdays come and gone :)

When I was young, it seemed like my birthdays would NEVER come. I would wait and wait and when they finally came, they were always a blast. Mom always made them so special. We would get a special breakfast and our favorite meal and Mom would make this panda cake that I loved. I knew it took her all day long which probably made me love it even more. I actually hated to eat it it looked so good.

And now I am the mom and look forward to making my little families birthdays so special. But I have to tell you that I was one lucky lady yesterday. I feel pretty special to just have people remember that special day and tell me. And my hubby was so good to me. He has a nack of listening quietly to my ramblings without really responding so I don't actually know that he is listening and then he suprises me. I was mentioning to him about a week ago that I would love a pedicure before I have the baby so at least one thing on my body looked good...plus who wouldn't love your feet massaged? But he just smiled and went on with the night. But what do you think I found taped to my mirror on my special day....you guessed it. A one hour pedicure....,just for me :) What a guy ey? And he found this great idea for a cake from his sis and decided to try that out and it was DE-LISH!! And my mom took me out to lunch and I had a blast. It has been a long time since my mom and I just went out to lunch. I might make it happen a little more...next time it will be my turn to pay :)

And I find as I get older my "wants" get bigger (imac, table saw,etc)....but my needs are simple. I just wanted or needed for my birthday this year to get together with my family and to chat and see what everyone is up to. It seems like it gets harder and harder to get together. It was fun to sit and talk and enjoy each other's company. We are so lucky to have family near by and good friends around us. My dear husband has to deal with a lot from me...he was hoping we could go out to eat to a nice restaurant or something, but thanks to baby #3, heartburn attacks and I stop eating at 4...so that was out. Can't watch a movie because I would be running to the bathroom ALOT. So chilling at my moms seemed like the perfect way to spend my 29th birthday....yes you heard right. Keep it on the low down. Next year will be a toughy for me...but lucky for my counting system, the NEXT year after that I will be 29 again and continue the chain downward. Who said you can't be 20 again :)

Birthdays are special for the simple fact that you can look back at the __ years of your life and see how everyone who has entered your life has touched it and made you who you are and be grateful for the years and suprises to come :) Thanks again everyone.
