Today I am celebrating, or in actuality, I've been celebrating for several days.
On Friday I had a pesky lump under my arm ultra-sounded and it was just a pocket of fluid!!! I must admit, I think I started breathing for the first time in weeks after the tech assured me it was nothing. I am so grateful.
Last night the kids spent the night at my parents and had a ball while I got to go out for dinner with the love of my life and a few of my dearest friends to celebrate my birthday. It had been way to long since we had been out socializing like that and it felt really good!
The rest of the weekend was spent outside. Lots of time in the woods, soaking up Vitamin D before our long, cold winter. We even cleaned out the garage so I could park my little bug convertible (do I have the best husband or what?!) for the winter.
David and I chatted a lot about possibilities, plans, goals.... very excited to see where we end up heading in the next few months.
Tonight was a birthday celebration at Mom and Dad's complete with a chocolate angel food cake! Yum...
Kids got their snow skis ordered for the season.
Ben finds out tomorrow that he was selected by his teacher to be the student of the week for being an outstanding student! We are SO, SO proud of him! He LOVES school and is thriving in 1st grade.
Tomorrow I am celebrating my 36th birthday. WOW. I am so thankful to be getting older and being able to experience where life takes me. My little girl was so excited today to be celebrating my birthday. She waffled between wanting everything to be a surprise and wanting to be right with me the whole day (I preferred the later) and my little guy whispered "Happy Birthday Mama" and gave me a huge kiss. I could melt. And.... I must admit I often am overcome with emotion these days. Something I will attribute to being so thankful for having a long life ahead of me! Life is grand, we should never forget it.
Here's to celebrations of milestones, life, family, possibilities and potential for tomorrow.
