My birthday kind of snuck up on me this year. Usually I get really excited about it in the weeks leading up, but
Despite my lack of excitement/planning, it ended up being a great birthday!
The weekend before, I was home in Austin for Mother's Day so we celebrated early as a family... with a delicious dinner at Roaring Fork and homemade brownies and ice cream!
Rachel had all the kids wish me Happy Birthday, which just melted my heart. I love those little munchkins! She also brought cupcakes for us for snack - and since it was my birthday, I indulged. (Biggest Loser Challenge... what??) I also got my annual voicemail from Mom's class singing Happy Birthday to me - always love that cute message! Thanks, Mom!
Since my birthday was on a Monday, and I was going to be out of town the following weekend, I just decided to keep it low-key instead of trying to arrange a big girls night out as I have in years past.
My roomie Ryan came home with a bottle of Champagne (and a Dora birthday balloon!), which we thoroughly enjoyed for a pre- (and post!) dinner birthday toast!
Then my friend Sarah and sister Danielle met up with us at a little mexican place called Banditos. Brisket tacos... *swoon*! And margaritas, you ask? But, of course!
The following Wednesday my team had a birthday breakfast for me and another girl on my team... delicious breakfast and all my favorite birthday treats! I work with some amazing women!
And tomorrow night, Rachel and Matt are taking me out for a belated birthday dinner/drinks!
All I need on my birthday is some of my best friends and family reminding me how blessed I am... So what if my life plan isn't exactly on track? I'm happy, healthy, and loved! And that's all that truly matters!
