Today I am 39. Its already the best bithday in a decade. Today I have peace, friendship, and love. Nothing tops that. Last weekend my parents worked with my daughters to throw a family party. All day long they worked on steak, presents, and KitKat(my 11 y/o)baked our favorite chocolate cake from scratch. KitKat and my parents got me tickets to see Cake Boss on Tuesday, which also gave KK and I much needed bonding time. Throughout the week I received handmade cards full of touching poetry from my sensitive 9 year old and carefully formed letters spelling "I love mom" from my adorable 6 year old. I love my family.
Wednesday Neat Guy asked what I wanted to do on my birthday. Thursday and Friday he counted down via text. I'm not used to having my significant other do that...which made it all the sweeter. Last night I enjoyed laughing through dinner with his daughter (Miss M)and son (H) then snuggling with Miss M in our new matching fleece jackets. And best of all, they gave me a framed photo of the 3 of them smiling and talking. I love my man, and his kids.
Later I logged onto FaceBook to find a birthday tribute from my best friend Miss Daisy (yeahisaidit@blogspot.com). With humor and insight she beautifully described our 11 year friendship. I love my bff.
It's my birthday and I am blessed.
