Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!!!!





So it was my birthday this last Monday. I stayed home from work and watched Season 2 of Lost (my new addicition). Sunday, Gary made dinner for me and my family. He made (from scratch) homemade lasagne and then made (again from scratch) a Lemon cake. It was divine! He got me a new ironman watch and new running shoes. My mom got me some geneology books and some spa/bath stuff. And Aunt Skip and Brenda got me a gift certificate to WalMart. It was lots of fun! Thanks to all those who remembered and a big thanks to those who came.

I feel so blessed...


Okay, so I have a tendency to get bogged down in self pity. I am fat. I have a crappy job. I feel sorry for myself alot. I don't know how much I can promise that I will change that, however, every once in a while Heavenly Father takes a moment and knocks me over the head and helps me to see the blessings I have. I have a wonderful adoring husband who just loves me for who I am. If I gain twenty pounds, don't get a tan, or let my hair just dry (which those of you who know, its Scary), my husband just loves me. He does all the dishes and cleans the kitchen and doesn't ever complain about it. I have a loving Mom and Dad. I feel like the coolest person around them. They just think I am so smart and strong. I don't really know what I have done to deserve them, but they are just perfect. I have so many more blessings. I recently got in touch with an old friend. It reminded me of the old school days. I had a good time. It was hard a lot of the times, but it was fun too. I am glad to have been raised in Perry. I feel like a better person because of it. I am blessed to be a member of the Church and glad that I had the opportunity to go on a mission. I feel like I learned so much from that. A very special big thanks to all those who have been in my life. For good or for bad, I am a very strong, happy individual who has a very wonderful life. Its hard, but great!
