Birthday Celebration

Friday was my THIRTY-FIRST birthday. I'm a big believer in celebrating birthdays and my family did an awesome job celebrating mine. The day started with a scrumptious breakfast in bed and an hour all to myself where I relaxed in bed reading a novel. Later in the day I went out to lunch with Audra while Mike watched Summer and Emily. Then... David came and picked me up and we spent the evening together. We both got pedicures, we went out to eat and to a movie, and the coolest part of the evening was when David made arrangements for our quilt shop to stay open late and I got to shop with the entire store to myself. I felt like a celebrity. :)

On Saturday I went to Time Our for Women. I went with about 20 people from my ward, but I mostly hung out with my friends Stacey and Connie, my sister-in-laws Marla and Laura, and my sister Audra (pictured below).

As always, it was an awesome experience. I came away ready to take on life and to be a better person.

Thanks also for the phone calls, e-mails and blog comments. I think 31 is going to be a great year!!

Sounds like a fun day. Enjoy them now because the older you get the less fun they are..hahaha..and it gets harder and harder to admit your age. You look awesome though. And tell David that Rog has had a couple of pedicures and he loves them!!!
