My Birthday

The only thing I ever want for my birthday is to spend my day with my family. Today, I got my wish!

I woke up to a display of cards from Jeremy and each of the kids. I had to take a picture of Emma's card, because she drew me a cute little picture.

She's saying "Mama", and apparently I'm saying "sweaty".

Then it was off to school for an assembly. I was told the kids were getting awards, but I didn't know what they were. I was so excited to find out that both Landon and Emma won scholarships towards next year's tuition. They only give out a handful of these, so I was so proud that both of my kids earned them. That was a great birthday present! Landon also earned several other awards that I think deserves a separate blog post, so more to come on that.

I picked up the kids from school and Emma informed me that she only had 7 kids in class today because they are all out sick. Later, her best friend's Dad called to inform me that she tested positive for flu and strep. These two girls are inseparable, so I know it's coming our way. Sweet.

After school, we picked up Jeremy and ate at the Olive Garden.

We dropped Jeremy back off at work and later he brought home my favorite dessert.

"Nothing Bundt Cake"

If you haven't tried it- you must!

I love their slogan...

...and yes, that was my piece, and yes, I finished it all.

Then we watched the rain attempt to flood our basement again, but did a little damage control before it could get in.

Take that Mother Nature.

I can't believe how quickly this year flew by. I can seriously remember blogging about my birthday last year...it doesn't seem like a year has passed. I don't feel older, and I don't think I look much different.

Other than the hair.

Which by the way my Mother informed me she hates.

What a great day it's been. I got a lot of phone calls and texts, cards, and online birthday wishes. I have the most amazing friends and family. Thanks to you all ♥

Here's to many more years and hair colors!
