So this year I had a FABULOUS birthday. I'll admit I wasn't that excited for it because after planning your kid's birthdays and doing all the fun stuff for them, that seems to be all you can look forward to! I'm definitely one of those people that as I get older birthdays seem less and less fun (for myself). I LOVE planning and preparing for other peoples birthdays, but anyway. Despite my feelings that it was kind of just another day and another year passing by my family made it really special and got me a HUGE surprise!! On my actual birthday Chris and I went to the Aquabats concert with my sister and some friends. Basically it was awesome. Then the day after we celebrated with a home-made dinner from the woman who gave birth to me 24 years ago... I LOVE YOU MOM!! (She made my favorite -hamburgers and big potato fries.) And of course cake and ice cream. I got some cute clothes, a book, a giftcard and the best surprise..... A NEW DESK!!! It's beautiful. My mom and Chris went in on it together and totally surprised me. I'd mentioned wanting one but with as busy as we've been I let it fall to the back burner and hadn't looked at one for awhile. My mom remembered me mentioning this one I'd seen on KSL and drove all the way down to Sandy to get it for me. They hid it in our storage unit for over a month til my birthday. It was really really awesome and being the organizational freak I am I love all the storage room it gives me. It's just really nice all around and the best surprise I've had.

My besties!! Thanks to my mom for slaving away in the kitchen all day and still being sneaky at the same time haha.
Cairi was SO excited all day. She kept saying "Happy Bertay to ME!" and then I'd say, do you mean mommy? and she'd say "No! Cai Bertay". The cutest thing was that she actually tried to sing the birthday song and helped my blow out the candles.
I'll post a picture soon of my new desk, I don't have one on my computer yet.

Awe! So fun. I love surprises. I'm
glad you had an awesome birthday, you deserve it!!
Okay, you're still one of the cutest and sweetest people I've ever met. I can't believe you're about to have #3. You're so lucky. You're family is so beautiful. You're kids have no idea how lucky they are to have such an amazing person to call mom. Good luck with the baby. We need to get our kids together for a playdate on of these days.
