BIRTHDAY!!!

Birthdays are starting to get not so exciting for me, I've decided. If you ask Kirk, he'd say different because he thinks I make way too many references to my birthday during the year. I can't help it if I'm just trying to make sure he remembers! Well, I do like that people remember my birthday but lately I have been hoping that it will be less and less of a big deal. Maybe because I think I'm getting old (no comments please). I still remember clearly what I was like in high school and sometimes I still think I am living that life. Then I get smacked back to reality (usually by my husband) and realize that I'm a 27 year old, married homeowner. Quite different from high school.

This birthday (which was yesterday for anyone who didn't know), might have brought me out of that low key birthday slump. I am quite positive that I have the BEST husband of all time and some pretty freakin' awesome friends as well! So on Saturday, I was feeling a little bummed because Kirk ditched me to go shopping with the Udy's for my birthday. I know, I should have just let him go with no sadness but I couldn't help feeling a little ticked cause I had the whole day off, which I never do, and I had a wedding to go to which I was now to attend alone. Kinda sucky but oh well!

The next morning, Kirk wakes me up with breakfast in bed, this is just the beginning. Then, at choir practice, my dear sweet husband bullied Melissa into surprising me with the whole choir singing happy birthday. Mmmm, not so low-key. After choir, the Udy's made us stay over to have cake and ice cream, which was so yummy, by the way and open presents. By this point I decided to just throw all my feelings out of the window because I could see how happy and excited they were for me. So, I began opening presents. Ok, I need to pause here. All my life, I never really got any 'good' presents. My family was not well off and we have 6 kids so you can imagine what our birthdays and christmas' were like. Ok, back to the story. I got the best presents EVER!!!! Here's what I got: a friendship-charm bracelet (that was very thought out!), a hot roller set, two gorgeous pictures for my wall, a beautiful purse (cause I couldn't find one in NYC) and a wii remote. Now, I was pretty happy with my wii-mote cause I really wanted a wii, and I knew I was never gonna get one so when Kirk gave it to me he said, 'now you know we cant afford one of these but I got you this to start your collection.' I was like 'cool!' Then about 10 minutes later, he brings out one more present. Give you one guess as to what it was...yep, A WII!!!! Like I said....BEST HUSBAND EVER!!!!

So that pretty much wraps up my birthday! It was great, thanks to awesome family and friends! I'll get some pictures up soon.
