My Birthday

Happy Birthday to me. I've been out of town so it is time to play catch up. My birthday was a couple weeks ago and it was a great 32nd. birthday. We had Jerry's family over on the Sunday before for cake and ice cream. Jerry made me this DELICIOUS cake. It was his own creation. With crushed up Butterfinger and Recees Pieces on top it was definitely a winner. We're going to have to start making two cakes when family comes over, especially when Jerry makes such good cakes. His family was so sweet. They spoiled me with gifts, and it was great having them over. I really appreciated them driving across town just to come celebrate... me. Thanks everyone.
On my actual birthday (Tues. the 14th) I took the kids to their sports classes at the rec. center, which is always fun anyway, but especially fun knowing it was my birthday.
Then I took the van in to get the check engine light off/ fixed before our trip, and Jerry met us and drove us home. My friend, Maria took me to lunch that day for my B-day. Delicious! I love the Olive Garden. And the kids were wonderful there. (Added Birthday gift.) When I got home I called the repair shop and found out our van would cost around $750 to fix - with a warranty. NOT the best present. But oh, well, what do you do? That day I got several calls from family and friends. It meant a lot to me. And when Jerry got home he took me out to dinner. I ate WAY too much on my birthday. My girlfriends, Pam, Rochelle, and Heidi took me to dinner on Wed. night too. It was fun. Then we headed up to Utah Thurs. morning. Now it is time to detox my system after all that eating out, plus a trip to Utah. My birthday week was great, full of food, thoughful friends, and fun. Thanks everyone. Even with a pricey car repair it was wonderful.
