Great Birthday!

Thank you everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes! I have decided that birthdays don't get worse as we get older they get better. Maybe because we just spend more time with the people we really love or maybe we have just learned to appreciate things more. I don't know, maybe its a combination of the two. Mom came down to watch the kids for us while Steve and I went to dinner and a movie. We ate at Joe Banditoes (YUM), and we saw Angels and Demons. The movie was good but I still like the book a lot better. This was a great enough birthday for me, but when I got home mom, Angel, and the kids had a surprise waiting for me. They decorated the house and mom had a cake and some presents waiting. I couldn't believe it, it was great! Mom gave me grandma Carters Wash Board! Geez I am spoiled! She also gave me her favorite purse that I have teasing her about for the last little while. I know how much she likes both of those things and for her to give them to me meant a lot. Thanks Mom! I have a wonderful mother. She always thinks of the neatest things to do for people. So generous and giving. The kids were so excited. They helped decorate and pick out the cake. Carly even sang a song for me, which was beautiful. I love my family I am so lucky. And wait there is even more. On Saturday Randy and Saundra threw a birthday party for Norman and I and it was really fun. I have great in laws also. They gave me some money to go pick out what I wanted so I decided to buy another bed set. I love it. Life is great and I am so thankful for everyone and the love they show to me and my family. Thanks again!
