...and the day has arrived! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! It is a brief moment in our home, mere blip on the birthday radar as Gwynn's birthday is in 6 more days, and Devin's in 9, but still, we take pause, to honor, and love and dote upon ME! And I will LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

Funny story, but Tim and I were out over February break, and I had him buy two books for me, telling him, "Here, put these away and give them to me for my birthday!" Like the man he is, he totally forgot, and went and got me the Ugg slippers I REALLY wanted. He also got me a silver charm for my charm bracelet, of Puerto Rico, our "honeymoon, finally" trip from last year. What a great guy! Now, on Saturday, I had also bought some jewelry at a jewelry party claiming it was a "Happy Birthday to ME!" gift. Here's to treating yourself well, I guess!

So, CHEERS, and I am looking forward to seeing what the next 364 days hold...the next 364 days of my 40th year!
