Ok, I gotta admit that it seems weird to say '30' and have it mean my age, both because I've felt 30+ for MANY years and also because it seemed like I would be in my 20's forever, LOL! Bubby told me I could be 28 today and we'll start counting down for everyone's birthdays LOL. But me being 30 only means that Mr. B will be another 30+ yr old this year, LOL!
I had an absolutely AMAZING day today! I am so blessed and God really took care of me this birthday!
The day started with gifts from the kids & Mr. B, early this morning.
Bea was first, she gave me a box with assorted goodies as listed below:
A cute card with a bag of Hershey kisses taped to it that had $5 of her allowance in it!
A half eaten roll of bubble tape-she said she knew I couldn't eat it for a few years (because of my braces) but that I could save it until then, LOL!!
And a cough drop :p
I love that girl!!
Bubby bought me at gift at Walgreen's the other day. He had it rigged up taped and in a sock so that he could attach it to Mac's collar to have him bring into the room for me. It was a glass unicorn! Thanks, Bubby!
Boo provided a card that Mr. B had entrusted in his care which he has kept hidden for me for many months now. Thanks Boo for being the card keeper, it's helped to make the occasions even more special!
Mr. B & the kids got me a Pandora bracelet with 4 charms, I absolutely love it as each charm represents something dear to my heart!
My Pandora bracelet
The charms are:
Everlasting Love (hearts all around): First true love found me
Bible: Then God found me
Butterflies: For all the signs God's been sending me
Forget Me Knot (sliver knot): For all the friends I've made through this journey that I will never be able to forget!
Then after dropping off the kids at school I was able to run some errands before heading to the SPA!
Yes, I said SPA! And best of all it was FREE! I was blessed to receive a haircut AND pedicure as well as a catered lunch! I also got to meet some new ladies as well. The best part of all was what happened when I got my haircut. Basically the woman who cut my hair is so highly sought that you have to book her 9 months in advance, I just happened to be in here care today. She decided to come in today as she heard that our group would be there. As we got to talking we realized how small of a world it is as her daughter and Boo happen to go to the same school. Then we started talking about church and she told me that they have been thinking about changing Churches and just happened to visit our church last Sunday. We spent the rest of the time talking about how God is working in our lives, it was really amazing! I know that God was the coordinator of all of this! That was worth the trip to the spa in itself!
So, yes I got my hair CHOPPED off, about 11-12 inches of it. It will be sent to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths to make a wig for a child with cancer. My head feels much lighter and a child will benefit from the weight I've carried around on my head the past 2 years.
Here is my new hair style:
While at the spa I also ate a yummy lunch catered by O'Charley's!
Then I headed to finish errands and pick up the kids. I checked them out early and we got to see the jets practicing for the air show tomorrow. We also stopped at DQ and picked up a birthday cake.
As I drove home I was considering what to make for dinner. We get home and Bubby checks the mail and in it is a birthday card, personalized by Poppie & Omah, and a GC for Texas Roadhouse, so guess where we had dinner?! I made the kids promise to not tell the waitress it was my birthday! It got to the point where I had to threaten their allowance if they told, LOL!! I was so NOT having someone singing to me!!
I have also gotten several awesome packages in the mail this week from other family members & friends, I feel so loved! Thanks everyone for thinking of me!!
We are now home and getting ready to eat some DQ cake...I can't wait...the desert is always my favorite part ;p
