...AND ANOTHER ONE DOWN


This was the first birthday I didn't sweat too much about turning another year older. I mean if I was to get my panties in a bind about any birthday it should have been this one.....because this is the oldest I've been.....34!!!

James planned a very fun-filled day. It all started out with James handing me one of my presents to open. It was a piece of paper that said: This is for a 1 day shopping spree!!! You may go anywhere and get anything with this "green certificate". This also includes a chauffeur to escort you to your destinations. Have fun, I LOVE you & see you when you get home. Love James & Spencer. So I did what any girl would do - I went shopping. I was happy to see that James & Spencer were my chauffeur's & escorts.
James had scoped out all the freebee birthday stuff to do around town. So we went to cold stone & got free ice cream, got truffles & fudge at the chocolate shop, I got a free video at the movie store, I had movie passes to see a movie - so we went & saw the first one since Spencer was born (we saw Taken - a good one!), for dinner I got a free meal at Tucano's & of course lot's of shopping with my green certificate in between there!


Saturday James planned for the family to come over to help celebrate. We had a big spaghetti dinner - which has been my favorite since I was little (& I'm still little - case you were wondering). It was YUM! YUM!

* James also surprised me by letting me make my own birthday "cake" (rice krispy treats - if made right they are straight from the God's).
* By giving me a "flirty apron" James is hoping that I will cook. Yes you read that right. He is not hoping that I will cook better, learn some great recipes or become Georgia's own Paula Dean....but he will settle for me to COOK!

It was a very fun birthday - thanks to everyone who helped make it special.
