Birthday Time!
What a great birthday! It was my 27th today and I got to spend the entire day with my hubby. He surprised me by taking the day off and taking me to my favorite place…Disneyland! I love going to Disneyland on my birthday because I get to pick the rides, and I usually tend to stick to the kiddie rides. It makes me feel like a kid again:) My absolute favorite ride at Disneyland is Peter Pan. I love that you fly through the nighttime sky of London, and then enter into the fantasyland that is never never land. Jason is so wonderful about my obsession with the old school rides, and he just smiles and listens as I go on and on about all the things I love about them.
After a full day at Disneyland who doesn’t need a big dinner? Jason also let me pick where we ate tonight, and I picked good this time:) We went to the Jazz Kitchen at downtown disney and it was delish! I ended up with two desserts, and I didn’t let myself feel bad about it! It’s my birthday, I get to indulge. Great company and great conversation. Oh I love my hubby!
It was a year of being a kid again, and enjoying the small things about birthdays. I wanted to have a girls only sleepover on Friday, and once again Jason was wonderful and let me have my way. He went camping with Curtis while I had the girls over. I think the girls need to get together more often than once a year. We need the girl talk, and the silliness that goes along with that. We talked, and played games, it was the perfect girls night! All of my girlies have such wonderful and unique qualities, and I’m glad that I get to have each one of them in my life.
Not only did I get to spend quality time with the girls and my hubby, but I got to spend some quality time with my parents and sisters. My mom and Gabs, and Heidi and Bernie joined us for church and sushi on Sunday. My dad and Megan came to visit and bring me yummy perfume on Sunday too. The entire weekend was filled with little visits, and little surprises. Jason got me guitar lessons because learning to play guitar is on my bucket list, and he wanted to help me check off some items on that list:) We are going to take the lessons together and I think it will be so fun to learn it together and share it when we get home. Dander and grandmom left wonderful surprises on my doorstep today. It was just a weekend filled with people who love me, and who wanted to wish me a happy birthday.
I think it is so easy to get wrapped up in your iphone or blackberry and forget to just enjoy the moment and the people you are sharing that moment with. My goal this year is to enjoy every moment as it is happening. I want to try and remember all of the small things that make life so enjoyable.
Thanks everyone for making my birthday such a good one! I love you all so much!
