Happy Birthday to me!

Today was my birthday. I know some of you can relate to me when you truly and sincerely believe that you don't want anyone to do anything it isn't really important. Then the day comes and it is really important and you told everyone to do nothing. Bad idea. Who can you blame? Well I did that with Mike but he learned from Mother's day not to do nothing. So Wednesday night he brought home flowers and a card and said he had to do something and that was enough for me just to be remembered and thought of but it didn't end there. We were having dinner at our friends house as well. They had invited me over so I wouldn't have to cook or clean up dinner on my birthday. She casually mentioned maybe having pizza. Then for the rest of the week I thought I don't want pizza for my birthday. I begged him to tell them we should go out and he did. So a few minutes before we leave Mike turns to Gavin and says "don't tell Mommy but I might just have done something really thoughtful for mommies birthday," then turns and smiles at me. When we get to our friends place he had prepared a 3 course meal starting with ceasar salads with fresh grated cheese followed by sauted mushrooms and onions. Then for dinner we had rock salt prime rib (which was delicious), baked potatoes, corn on the cob, and French bread. Then for desserts turnovers that I couldn't even touch I was so stuffed. Then our friends watched Gavin while Mike took me to see Get Smart, which was a really funny movie.

Earlier that day my good friends took me for a picnic in the park to celebrate my birthday. I also received 4 birthday cards in the mail. I had a very special birthday.

Thank you everyone!
