I am a lucky girl though... life just keeps getting better for me. I had to wait awhile longer than I wanted to have my family... but patience won out. My boys are making my 30's way better than my 20's were!
We had a nice relaxing day. We went shopping and then headed to a new burger joint that just opened near us - it is one of the Five Guys chain. I had never been there before, but I love burgers so we decided to try something new. It was super tasty. Everyone else, including Ephram, loved it too! (In fact, I think we went back the next week.)
After gorging ourselves we headed home to have some cake. Andy got me a nice traditional cake this year. Andy knows that I like nothing more than a bakery-created white cake with buttercream frosting. I know, I'm probably too old to like it as much as I do. But the cake was really, really good. Charlie was excited that it had purple flowers.
Then it was time to open presents. Andy gave me a nice Le Creuset stockpot that I have wanted for years. I also got a New Balance jacket to help keep me warm on my early morning runs. It has served me very well for the past several months. I also got a book and some music that I wanted.
After I was all done and we'd spent some time just having fun, Charlie and Andy realized that they still had a card to give me that needed to be signed. Charlie was eager to put his signature on it. He is getting much better at writing with a ballpoint pen.
I had a great 35th birthday... and can't wait for the next one!
