Belated birthday post

Now that my birthday has been over for a week, I suppose it is time to write about my birthday ;)

The day started out great!  Brian let me sleep in a bit, and then made me breakfast.  I love his breakfasts!  He makes the most delicious eggs.  After breakfast, the four of us got ready to go to the water park and off we went.  It was so fun to have it be the four of us!  Brian even told the kids that since it was my birthday, I got to pick out what we did all day.  :)

The water park was a lot of fun, but after we ate a late lunch and got back in line to go on more slides, a storm moved in.  Since thunder and lightening were part of this summer storm, the water park closed about 3:00 pm.  This seems like it would be a bad thing, but summer storms are some of my favorite things.  I just love the warm rain and the huge lightening strikes that flash across the sky.  This storm was really interesting.  Princess and I were on the top of a large tower when it came upon us, and the storm surrounded us.  It was really cool.  Lightening kept streaking all around us.  Before you get upset that I was putting Princess in danger, please know that we left the tower and got back down on the ground as soon as it started. 

After leaving the water park, the four of us headed over to my little sister's house to get ready for dinner and to hang out with her.  Tiff is an awesome sister, and we all love her so much! 

For dinner, we went to one of my favorite restaurants, a Brazilian steakhouse.  My sister and her friend Jen went with us.  It was great to see two of my favorite girls and spend my birthday with them!  OF course, after eating a fabulous dinner, I had to have a very large piece of chocolate cake.  I was even nice, and shared it with Brian ;) 

On Monday, my birthday continued at school.  My wonderful coworker brought me a yummy treat!  In addition, my class all made me a birthday book that they wrote me notes and colored me pictures in.  It was so cute! 

Today, a week after my birthday, I was able to pick up my birthday present.  My adorable husband gave in to my wants and desires and let me buy a new kitchen table.  It is a large, counter height table that expands to fit 8.  I am so excited for my table!  I have wanted one for YEARS and our old table didn't really fit anymore than the 4 of us. 


Overall, I had the best 30th birthday a girl could have!  I was surrounded by the ones that I love, and had a wonderful time with all of them!
