Super awesome celebration of the day of my birth...

Birthdays have never really been a big deal. Don't get me wrong. I have had some wonderful birthdays and certainly as a kid remember all the fun parties that my mom threw me, that later morphed into high school get together gatherings, which then translated to meeting at the dance club, then the more adult like dinners gatherings. I think that with the natural progression of aging and less exciting, non-pin the tail on the donkey parties, the pure butterflies in the stomach experience just naturally fades away. We hit that point where...darn it..we are a year older and tend to reflect vs..look forward to that new drivers license etc..
This birthday however, seemed to bring back some of that old glee that I had forgotten about. I am embarrassed to admit that it was all the wonderful attention and thoughtfulness of everyone that brought that glee. I really didn't expect anything other than some warm birthday wishes but truly I felt like everyone just went so out of their way!

My day started with flowers from Mom and Dad. Then Matt had some beautiful flowers delivered to work for me. I was so tickled. How fun being surrounded by all this flora!! I also got a my first job interview request since I have started the tough hunt and that literally felt like the greatest birthday present EVER! It lifted my hopes so much that I might actually find a new job after getting laid off! Then I came home from work and waiting on my front door steps were more flowers and plants with balloons and cards from my best girlfriends. My house looked like a nursery! It was of course...very awesome! Then I got all dressed up and ready for Matt to come home to take me to dinner at Andina's! This is officially my new favorite restaurant! It was FANTASTIC! The food was divine! It was the perfect mix of comfort food and sophistication. Seriously. I know that sounds totally dorky...but that was truly the best way I can describe it, besides...so yummy that all dinner long Matt and I were making obnoxious ...mmmmmmmm....noises while we ate. After a long wonderful dinner my husband presented me with a beautiful necklace, which I love! My hubby did good...it is so perfectly me. I love it and haven't taken it off since! To disgust you even more...two days later...Erica treated me to a pedicure, lunch and gave me the best birthday present.

So perhaps I should title this...Super Awesome Celebration of the day of the most spoiled brat ever's birth. That sounds about right!

I am a lucky girl with the best friends and family ever. We should go celebrate that...at Andina's. Let's GO!



These are the flowers Matt sent me. I won't post the picture of the necklace or anything else because then you would really hate me. But if you click on the word..Andina..you can look at the menu and drool over the yummy food I ate...mmmmmmmm.
