It’s My Birthday!

March 26, 2011 by Elaine

I love it when my birthday falls on the weekend, don’t you?


Today is a really good day. I woke up in my warm bed with one of my most favorite little boys next to me (the other “boys” were already up preparing a surprise for me…).


Yes, there are days that I get a tad overwhelmed (just ‘keeping it real’, as they say…) but most days I enjoy this life immensely because that is who I am and who my parents raised me to be. It takes many more than my own two hands to count the blessings in my life.


Today is a wonderful, fabulous day to be 36. Life is good. 

 Also love that my b-day is in Spring – yay for gorgeous azaleas!

p.s. Thanks for all your awesome comments on yesterday’s post about my weight loss.

p.p.s. The winner of the beautiful baubles from Jaclyn is Amanda G. I’ll be emailing her today…

    Don’t you think the azaleas are really beautiful this year? They just seem more plentiful here than they have the last few years.

    And happy birthday. I’m glad you are having a great day.

    Happy birthday! I know, I’m late, but I’m here! And congrats on your weight loss. I’m so happy for you even if I am standing in my bathroom trying to puke out the pack (yes, PACK) of Oreo’s I just ate. Stupid chocolate cookies always calling my name.
