Dustin and I both happened to be up around 2 am to go to the bathroom when he told me Happy Birthday for the first time. I then got texts throughout the day from family and friends. When I got to school, Stacy and Kelsey gave me cupcakes. I got so many Happy Birthdays from co-workers and many more on Facebook. Dustin surprised me by bringing a beautiful bouquet of flowers to my classroom with a card signed with his and the baby's name. He also had 2 roses placed in the bouquet, one for him and one for the baby. It also happened to be Birthday Bunch lunch for all the kids with birthdays in October so I got to hear a chorus of Happy Birthday while feeding one of my students.
On a cloudy, chilly day like to today, it's hard to believe that 25 years ago when my parents brought me home they had the AC on in the car!
Birthdays I feel are fun! Who cares what the number is on the cake, have some fun with the fact that it is your day! I have had so many memorable birthdays in my life. I had so many sleepovers in elementary where we ran around outside until dark, played an N'SYNC game, and staying up so late! We always had such a party at Donna and Errol's that included homemade hats and the singing candle! My 16th birthday was very special too! We basically had a block party (all of the neighbors within 5 miles of our house), with a potluck and it was the first birthday in the new house. It was such a memorable evening.
Tonight, I'm already in my sweats, and Dustin is ordering a pizza. We are celebrating bigger this weekend with a trip to pick up the baby's crib and go out to Texas Road House. I'll let Dustin tell them it's my birthday, but there is no way I'm getting on that saddle this year!
