Blessed....

Last year on my birthday my husband woke me in the morning with a starbucks and a warming vehicle and sent me off for the day to the Hyatt spa... Followed by what was to be shopping downtown for a couple of hours and supper at Ruth Chris' at the Calgary Tower.. Hard to beat right...

However... this year for my birthday i felt totally spoilt.. I feel like i have the best friends and family in the world.. and i felt so undeserving...

* A night out at the local dinner theatre with a great girlfriend.. meeting & laughing with spontaneous strangers :)
*A birthday greeting from my Love at 12:05 in the morning.. (he just had to be the 1st one to wish me a happy birthday)
*the absolute SWEETEST delivery.... adorable littler girl & her momma wearing party hats... singing ... flowers... cupcakes......
*6 hours in a restaurant with some very close girlfriends... discussing life...... WOW...
*An impromptu phone call from my brother.. inviting me to supper at possibly the best "seafood" restaurant in Alberta called "The Catch"... thanks for being so understanding and doing the "desert" at McDonalds... (pretty sure that restaurant had never seen kids :)
*A fun night at the Waterslides with long lost cousins... just chilaxin'
*And so many great conversations from friends/family calling to wish me a happy day..

(not to mention some kiddos of mine and their awesome rendition of "Happy Birfday"...

It really doesn't get better than this..




P.S. (my photography skills are getting worse with age... and i haven't quite figured out taking pics on my iphone... and i hope i'm not the only one who hates myself in pictures :(

Lucky girl! Looks like fun!

Someday it will not matter how big my house is, how much money is in the bank, or where i have travelled.. only that I have been important in the life of a child...
