Hello friends! The sun is shining here in the Pacific Northwest and that means scooters, hula hoops and bikes are scattered around my yard {as opposed to our indoor playground aka the basement}!
Here is the five spot:
1. Yesterday, after my dreadiversary post, jerbear brought home this bottle of wine:
In honor of the two year mark. It totally cracked me up.
2.When Moses was little and the only kiddo I had, I remember taking him the pet store quite often. We have never been ‘pet people’, but little ones get so happy over seeing hamsters and rats crawling around that the five minute walk around the shop was always so worth it. Not to mention the one in our town is located next door to the Goodwill! Well, somehow I have not entered the pet store in the past 5 years and thought that yesterday after our GW run, perhaps the 3 little ones would like to poke around for a few minutes.
Pure Bliss!
3. Last night Jer decided we should have a birthday pre-funk date night and came home with the wine, but also a BLT salad from a pizza place we like. Once the kids were in bed we picked out a movie on the television. We landed on a new pre-release called A Little Bit of Heaven starring Kate Hudson. I think she is really adorable, but this movie… let’s just say I cried for an hour straight. I should have gathered as much from the synopsis, considering it is about a woman dying of cancer. Not a happy movie. It is a downer to say the least.
4. I am headed to Seattle this afternoon with Jer to celebrate my 30th birthday with my siblings. I thought about doing an entire post lamenting my old age, but decided against it. Afterall, this morning when Moses snuck in my bed to wish me happy birthday while the rest of the house was still sleeping, he asked, ‘Mom, how old are you?’ I said, ’30- aren’t I such an old lady!’ To which he responded, ‘Well, you are pretty old, but not really old, like grandma’. So that made me feel better. {Sorry mom..}
5. I have already felt so loved on this day! I opened my door this morning to find a box filled with these treasures:
My friend Pamela had these ceramic tiles made with some of my favorite photos on them!
And yesterday my friend Heather gave me this wonderful utility tote with my word of the year, BRAVE, embroidered on it {in my favorite color to boot!}:
I actually get a little teary eyed thinking about it because these are just so dang thoughtful. I am feeling the love today.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend friends. You have truly made this year more full for me by being apart of it through this blogging space.
Happy birthday my dear, sweet friend!!! I love everything about you! Really, ALL of it! Embrace your age it’s really a fabulous age to be 30!
It really is nice to be able to leave your twenties…and with them the preasure of having to be right all of the time…my twenties were exhausting! Happy Birthday Anya
Oh my word. You are such a baby. If I was my mother’s worst nightmare and was a pregnant teen, I could almost be your mother. As it is, I’m due to be a granny any second. I hope you continue to have a wonderful day, and that your special day stretches into a weekend long event, wherein you feel very loved and cherished. Happy thirties. Enjoy the ride, and look forward to the fab forties.
I LOVE those ceramic tile photos!!! They are so awesome. I can’t wait to see them. Happy Birthday youngun’!
Happy belated birthday! Hope it was fabulous
