Happy Birthday to Me!!!

It was my birthday this past Friday, July 26th.  I turned 37 (that just sounds so old)!   Always a perfect sunny July day and this year was no exception, well the sun part was there but it sure didn't feel like July!  It was only 60 degrees for the majority of the day, it was more like a beautiful September day.  One of the perks of my job is that we get our birthday off, very nice to do on a Friday!  I was torn because I had SO many things to do at home, nesting things you know...like painting, cleaning, washing, weeding.  A day off would sure be nice.  But...it was still my birthday and it seemed pretty silly to do chores all day on my special day. 

Lucky for me I have an amazing sister who stepped up and surprised me with a morning at the Spa!  Ahhh, it was so relaxing.  I had an hour massage and my first ever facial.  I pushed for a longer massage but because of my delicate condition (being pregnant) the most they would do was an hour.  Bummer!  An hour goes by so quickly.  Well none-the-less it was wonderful!  I even was assigned a lucky locker for my belongings...number 26! 



After my spa morning I picked up my son and we headed to Gramma and Papa's to go out for lunch and spend some time visiting.  Quinn is always excited about going to the farm!!  Paige was on a field trip for summer school so she was none the wiser that Quinn and I were out celebrating.  Just before we left Shyan and Dakota came and visited for awhile too.

In the meantime Jeff had picked up Paige from school and they went shopping for a few birthday surprises.  I had decided with all of the summer gatherings already and Paige's birthday being just a few weeks away I didn't need a big family get together.  When we got home Jeff and Paige had made a special birthday dinner and surprised me with flowers and a Dairy Queen cake.  It was a perfect day and I couldn't have asked for more!!  Happy Birthday to me!!!!



 
If you look close the cake says "Happy Birthday!  Love Paige" with a soccer ball.  She picked it out especially for me.  And yes the 7 does look alot like a 1.  If only....31 is so much younger!
 
 
On a funny sidenote, last year Jeff bought me an angel food cake and coincidentally..I turned 37 last year as well according to my candles.  It too, was perfect, a year off...but perfect.  I will say though, I am glad I still have another year before I am 38!
