33

Yesterday was my birthday.

I turned 33.

Yikes.

I really cannot believe I am in my thirties.

Luckily I have young kids, so it makes people believe I am younger than I really am.

Ha!

Hopefully they really will keep me young instead of make me age faster!

Although I have never loved my birthday being in January, I do love to start a new year being a new age.

A new start all around.

I had a really good day yesterday.

I woke up to breakfast in bed.

Jared went and got Kneader’s cinnamon French toast to start my day.

It was heavenly.

For lunch my sister, Lindsay, brought me my favorite Thai food and we hung out for a little  while.

She also brought me my favorite coconut cakebites from the Sweet Tooth Fairy.

She knows exactly what I like!

Later that night Jared got a babysitter and took me out on a date.

We went and had sushi at Koi and then off to a movie.

We saw Catching Fire.

We are way behind on our movies. We don’t get out much.

It was a really nice night.

I also received a lot of sweet messages, texts, phone calls and emails.

I received one email in particular from a girl that just made my day.

I was her leader in the Young Women’s program while I was living in San Diego and I just love her.

It was a very touching and humbling happy birthday note.

I got spoiled with gifts and flowers and I’m ready to do some shopping.

I also got to spend some time with my BFF from high school.

Her birthday is on New Year’s eve so we went to lunch this past Saturday to celebrate both birthdays.

I also recruited her to watch the Bachelor with me tonight so I won’t be a loner now that I have moved from my Vegas Bachelor lovin’ friends.

My birthday wish was for the bell’s palsy to go away which didn’t happen, but I don’t want to lose hope.

However, that would have been one heck of a birthday present!

  2. Sounds like an awesome birthday! I wish we lived closer because I would totally watch it with you. In fact I thought about getting together a group of girls here to watch it, but I don't know how to do that with my kids going to bed so late. It might be one reason to get tivo. Those cake bites look amazing. I told Jared how amazing your Jared was for bringing you Kneaders breakfast in bed. I doubt he will remember that in five months though. :)
