What a fantastic day. :] I have had nothing but happy moments since the moment I woke up this morning and saw a text from my Grandma that she was going to take me out to buy me some new jeans (I haven't bought new ones in over 5 years and it definitely showed) right up to now, as I am all cozied in bed next to my sweetheart and our little bed hog. So much laughter and all around fun as we gathered at my parent's table and had my favorite dinner- chicken tortellini- and talked about the day I was born, how much everyone thinks I am so great, etc... ;] After that we ate the yummy yellow cake with chocolate frosting that Rodney made! Then we had a short dance party, my Dad and I reenacted he and newborn me laying on a blanket in the sunshine (you'd have to know my Dad), watching awful recordings of Sing A Long Songs on YouTube (Still my favorite) and video gamed the rest of the night.
How grateful I am to be so close to my siblings and my parents. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same kind of bond and love that resides within our family but I was hit tonight with how that fact that I do have the blessing of that love, makes me sad for those who either can't or choose not to have that. I love my family dearly, and would be nothing without the support that they show me.
I was also informed, through my birthday present, that I will be taking a road trip down to Utah to see a very dear friend of mine that I have been missing severely missing lately! AAMMYY!! ( http://austandamy.blogspot.com ) I haven't seen her in like 40 years and we are in desperate need of a reunion. We are Dragon and Nighthawk. If you don't get that reference, look it up. If you still don't understand, well, get over it because we're moving on. I am so ecstatic to meet her little family and get to make some great memories with our little ones getting to meet and play! :] It will surely be a grand adventure and we plan on stealing ice cream from someone's freezer so...Look out Utah. :]
My little family has made this an incredible day and I am so glad to have been near to them this year to celebrate together. Wonderful gifts, laughter, food and sweet dance moves. What a fantastic day.
P.S. I registered for my classes today. I'm getting this thing done for real this time.
