Happy Birthday to....ME

Is it weird to say Happy Birthday to yourself? Well, I just did so who cares. And a good day it's been. Or rather, I should say, a good few days it's been since I started celebrating the day after Christmas. My mom and stepdad were in town until last Saturday morning, so Paul and I had to take advantage and go out on a nice long date. We went to see a movie (The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons. Quite a good movie might I add). Afterwards, we went out for BBQ at a local restaurant. Then Saturday I spent a little time shopping. Sunday I took a nap (definitely a birthday treat when you have three little kids). And Monday (today) I woke up to Breakfast in Bed and a whole hour to myself to get ready. Ah....it was nice. Then later this morning, I met up with my good friend, Charlotte and her family, at the Mall. They moved to Indiana about a year and a half ago, and happened to be in town and driving through our area this morning. It was GREAT to see her and get to hang out for a few hours. Tonight(after the kids are in bed that is), I think I'll have a nice little fire and cozy up with a movie and some hot chocolate with my honey. All in all, quite a nice Birthday!
