Todays events:


I had a wonderful b-day with Morgan waking me up to pancakes in bed after he got the kids off to school all by himself and let me sleep in.... (best present ever).


My best buddy here in town treated me to wings and a movie for lunch. It was wonderful and we laughed a lot. (Will thought it was funny to mimik my laugh when we thought the movie was really funny, it was more like a gaffaw or cackle).


We had my favorite kind of pizza for dinner (pinneapple) and then we had WONDERFUL chocolate cake curtousy of Marie Calendars frozen pies.


The kids made me a treehouse for my birthday. It was so cute and here is what the note said on the treehouse...."We built this treehouse for you. Happy birthday, it was really hard. The main builder was Lund. The other builders were Sarah and Cassidy." He later told me that he hit his thumb five times while making this treehouse for me and that it hurt a lot!!! That is true love!!!!


Morgan gave me a card and some money and he drew a picture of what he thinks he will look like in 30 more years..... Interesting!


I recieved a "Happy birthday phone call from a friend that I haven't heard from in many years" Thanks Crystal, it was good to hear your voice.


My friends here in town threw a party for me at last Scrap Wednesday and they all gave me some scrapbooking stuff. It is a wonderful feeling to be surrounded by good friends!


Morgan's parents send me a wonderful card and even sang to me this morning while I was eating pancakes in my recliner and yes, they even bonked their heads together. Some people reading this might think that is a very weird comment, unless you have ever heard Lund and Karen sing the "Happy Birthday song".


My parents sent me a wonderful card via my dad last Saturday, which commented "How can you be 30 when we are still 39???" He!He! And having my dad help me this past Saturday was a gift in itself!


My sister Becky called to wish me a happy b-day as her husband was adjusting her back. He just happens to be a chiropractor so I guess that is o.k.


My sister Becky and my sister Alisha sent me a wonderful package that contained a necklace, a new wallet debt reduction plan, some candy (the kids stole) and some girly stuff like nail polish, etc... thanks sisters! Your the best!


And last but not least, the blood bank sent me an e-mail wishing me a happy birthday!!! How wonderful!!!! He!He!!


Well, here's to a wonderful day full of memories and fun!!! I love you all!!!!!
