I loved my birthday this year. I totally got spoiled and had a lot of fun. I got curtains, a rug, cups, a calender, and a new bed spread. I would post pictures but I am sooooo lazy these days. I love all of my things but the best was the cards this year. I love heart felt cards. Krista, my foster daughter, wrote me the sweetest card and I wasn't even expecting it. It is moments, like reading that card, that make all the hard work in foster care worth it. Curtis also wrote a lot of nice things in his card to me and even little Ivy picked out a card for me and colored in it. From the looks of it it took her a really long time and it just meant a lot. She keeps asking me if I liked it. We went to dinner with Natalie and Aaron at red lobster and it was a lot of fun.
I really can't believe it has only been one year since my last birthday. That might sound strange but so much has happened in the last year. My last birthday I was in the doctors office with Ivy getting her tested for a bunch of things. A couple days later we found out she has celiac disease. Then we had Cove, moved 2 times, and then all of my medical stuff. I feel like it has been five years. I just hope that this next year is more mellow.
FUN birthday!Can't wait to see all your new stuff. YEAH your next year needs to be WAY better! I think that you have earned having the next 5 years be nice and mellow. Aside from having baby # 3 of course. :) haha we had our birthday dinners at the same place. We are so awesome.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your day was amazing. I will have to make a trip over and see all of your fun stuff. I really want to see your new place. Oh and I got your text. No I didn't forget... I posted something on Facebook. Not the most personal touch I know, but I was really out of it yesterday. Love you tons...I hope you know that. I am glad your day was great!

ReplyDeleteI totally know how you feel regarding the whole crazy year, and hoping this year is more mellow! I can't believe all that has happened just in the span of ONE YEAR! And you have had the same kind of deal. I'm glad your birthday was so nice- and you knoww hat- I knew we had teh same birthday but had completely forgotten! That is really crazy we have the same birthday. You made a haul on the presents- I'm happy for you! happy late b-day!
ReplyDeleteOh and yes FNL is Friday Night LIghts and it's the best show ever
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy late birthday!! Sounds like a super fun, enjoyable day. Man there are a lot of us with November birthdays.
ReplyDeleteHappy late birthday! Here's to another crazy busy year :)
ReplyDeleteHere I was feeling down (pain in the shoulder thing) and you and Nati drop by and cheered me up on YOUR birthday. Hopefully, I can do your birthday "thing" soon. Thanks for being you.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE getting cards too. They're my favorite part of my birthday, anniversarys and valentines day. I always tell shad, "I don't care about the present, just write me a sincere card." You rarely talk about your foster kids. How many do you have? how old are they? I can't imagine how busy you are.
Also, I've been thinking the same thing about all of us getting together. some sort of cousins reunion...but probably just the girl ones. = ) Do you think everyone would come? It'd be so fun.
