My birthday


Today I turned the age that I always remember my mom telling everyone she was.....29.  So I finally caught up to my Mom....who knew one day we would be the same age:)  I had a lot of mixed feelings this birthday.  Most of my thoughts consisted of, this is not where I thought I would be at this age in my life, but I'm sure a lot of people feel that way.  Well my birthday started off with a Jamba Juice and sitting in work meetings all day.  However it got better with the numerous calls and messages that were left.  I couldn't believe how many calls I got, seriously I think people knew this was going to be a difficult birthday.  I then got home to find an edible arrangement from my parents.  Then Jane took me out to dinner with Cheryl to Tommy Bahamas (I had no idea they had food...I just thought they had clothes:)  It was delicious and they even gave me a free dessert on my birthday.  I ate way too much and was stuffed, but I had a wonderful time.  I gave Cheryl a hard time that she didn't write me a witty song for the big 2-9.  (She is a wonderful family friend, who has written me funny little songs at big stages in my life:)  Well the next day I get a message to go home and listen to the voicemail at home, sure enough there was a witty song about me turning 29.  There were always flowers from my parents, gerber daisies, my favorite.  Then the next day I got a bundt cake from my sister (it was supposed to be delivered on my birthday but the place messed up and so I had to pick it up), it was so worth it and so delicious.  Then on Friday, I went to my cousins and ate tortas and german chocolate cake.  Seriously it was a great birthday week and it wasn't so bad :)
