This past week I celebrated another birthday. "One year older and wiser to..." not sure about the wiser part. Last year I looked forward to turning 30. It spoke to me, it felt appropriate to be turning 30. I was comfortable with the idea. 31?!?!? NOT SO MUCH. It's all down hill from here :) Just kidding, but it didn't hold the same spark as 30 (I have a feeling this is the new birthday norm).
The day was great. I started off by going to my Total Body workout class, where my dear friend tried to cripple my legs with endless squats. Then I went to the dealership to get a new glove box installed in the van. Yes, you read that correctly...we are now a minivan family. (Ben's car died, he took the Pilot and we bit the bullet and got a minivan...happy birthday to me). After that I took the boys to playgroup at the park where I was greeted with a song and lots of cupcakes and goodies to eat (my friends are sooo good to me). After playing I took advantage of another friends kindness and Ben and I were able to go on a lunch date with out any little people. We just hit up smashburger...nothing fancy...but it was nice to just sit and talk.
Once Natali got home from school we opened cards and gifts that came in the mail. We had some coupons for Jason's Deli (just opened up here) and went out as a family. It was nice and it made the kids feel like the day was special. That morning when we woke up they were all REALLY disappointed when the birthday fairy had not made an appearance....where were the balloons, the cake, the presents...why isn't there a big special breakfast..."This is not a birthday MOM...this is like any other day!!" Apparently I had ruined my birthday for my kids, selfish ME! But after dinner I think they forgave me.
I ended the night by going to my favorite Zumba class and working off some of the extra goodies I had eaten. Between the date with Ben, great friends, lots of birthday wishes, good work outs, and not doing any real cooking...I'd call the day a TOTAL success!!!!
Here's to hoping that 31 holds some great things in store.

Happy birthday, lovely lady! A mini-van, eh? I swear we just talked about mini vans when I was out there, and I came home and told Nick "I want a Honda Pilot." Funny how the world works, eh? Glad you had a decent day!
