Birthday 2.8


What a wonderful day!

I started by waking (on a sunny-75 degree day) to my loving husband muttering "happy birthday, baby" in his sleep...then to my baby boy's snuggles. I, then, had an amazing breakfast waiting for me on the stove, courtesy of my Mamma before she was off to a meeting.

After Atticus's (perfect) nap, my sister, Mamma, Atticus and I went to my FAVORITE place, Genji, for lunch. I smothered my food in Yum-Yum sauce, totally disregarding my 'oath' to Weight Watchers.

My mom gave me some 'moolah' so we ran off to steal an hour or so of shopping, in which I found several bargains I'm slightly proud of.

After Adam got home, we went to Easton, where we ate on the patio at the Cheesecake factory and shopped like crazy. Walking hand in hand, the lights hanging over the walkways were almost magical, making us feel like we were in some European city. My patient husband followed me around like it was his job, never saying a word about how badly his feet hurt...until I said I couldn't walk anymore. We both limped (literally) back to the car, then we stopped for ice cream at Greater's. (I ventured out and tried the seasonal Chocolate Coconut Almont...I highly recommend!:))

Coming home to hear my mom talk about what a great time she and Atticus had playing, and how easily he went to sleep was just the perfect ending to the perfect day!!!

Thank you, Lord for another year to live this amazing life you've given me!
