Happy Birthday to me ...

This year my birthday fell on a Sunday, which turned out to be very profitable for me because we actually made it last for the whole weekend! Saturday morning John was anxious for me to unwrap the presents he had for me before we left for our over-night trip to Phoenix. The card was hilarious, he couldn't find any English cards so he completed the Tucson birthday experience for me with a card in Spanish. Anyway, he was so thoughtful and the card said, "If I had a dollar for every good thing you did it would never be enough, but here's a start ...", so as I unwrapped my presents there was a 12 pack of Diet Coke, a bag of Doritos, Reeces Peanut Butter cups, Junior Mints, all my favorite junk food each with a stack of 25 brand new $1 bills. It was so sweet, so I definately got spoiled and I'm excited to spend my birthday money. After we left we went shopping at the outlets and then we went to IKEA, which was heavenly! Later that afternoon we checked into our hotel and got ready and left for the baseball game. We made lots of fun memories and we're grateful for all the fun times we've been able to have here. We're looking forward to more birthdays spent with our families, but we had a good time being here this year! Thanks for all the cards, phone calls, and gifts, it was definately a year to remember!
