"I'm OLD. I'm like the crypt keeper!" (movie trivia)
I'm officially old! Yesterday marked the 30th year of my blessed arrival into the world. And while I may still act, think and look like a 14 year old, I am no longer a "young pup."
Daniel, having already crossed that aging line, and being the wonderful guy that he is, made the death of my youth a celebration of my favorite things. How I got so lucky to have him in my life I will never know, but I sure am grateful.
So one of my all time favorite things is the rain. I love love love rain. But we hardly ever get that wonderful force of nature in these neck of the woods. But Daniel called in a special request and I woke up to the lovely smell of rain, wonderful gray clouds, and it lasted the entire day. Pretty darn cool that Daniel has such a pull in the weather, dontcha think?
Daniel put fresh clean and crisp sheets on our bed, as thats another favorite of mine. He also took me to get my favorite lunch ever- olive gardens soup, salad and breadsticks. He brought me my favorite flowers, and even had them arranged with fresh pine as the smell of Christmas trees is yet another favorite. And he wrote me a perfectly sweet love note- can I say favorite.
He had the kids give me my favorite treats. And he made my favorite heath bar cake. And he cleaned up from the daily mayhem so I could have a clean house for a few hours. And then he put the kids to bed, so we could spend the rest of the night together in peace- most definatley my favorite way to spend the evening.
Aging isnt too bad when one has a favorite person to do it with.

How perfectly sweet is he??
Happy Birthday from this side of the hill!!
Happy Birthday! Sounds like the perfect day. And count yourself lucky. My hubby is one of those that thinks a birthday is no big deal and should be treated like any other day. This causes a few tiffs in our house since I expect to be treated like a princess on my b-day. Sometimes I even like to make my b-day a weekend event since one day of celebration just isn't enough(:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMMY! YOU ARE FAR FROM OVER THE HILL! I WISH YOU THE BEST! YOU ARE ONE SUPER FUN GAL TO HANG OUT WITH!
BIRTHDAY CHEERS TO YOU!
hey girl, freaky friday is the movie!
Happy belated b-day! It's so nice to have one special day each year!
Happy birthday. . . good thing you look nothing like the picture.
You're not old. One of these days you'll look back at this moment and realize just how YOUNG you are! You and your absolutely fantastic husband have lots and lots of youth still to share together. :)
WOW! Your man went all out for you. How fun. Happy Birthday!
