Brian took the day off. Those of you that haven't figured it out, I really love my man and like nothing better than spending time with him. This alone would have been special enough. He got the kids up and on the bus while I caught a few extra winks....heavenly.
We went out to lunch (with Gabe) at Subway (my choice). Brian often comments that I am a very low maintenance wife. :-) We ran a few errands and did a bit of shopping.
He had intended to make a cake, but we were out most of the day. We stopped and picked one up. We decided to have dessert first as Bess had a babysitting job. So we did cake and ice cream when the kids got home from school. It was very yummy and the kids thought it quite the treat to have dessert first.
I opened my presents. Brian is always very generous. I got new birding binoculars, three Cricut sets, a portable speaker for my mp3 player, a wireless weather station, a shirt and some jewelry, plus several precious cards from the kiddos. Just perfect.
After dinner, Rachel gave me a very long, wonderful foot rub. She has such a servants heart and knows what her momma loves. She is so sweet about it and loves that it makes me happy.
I received tons of birthday wishes online from friends far and wide and phone calls from family.
It was a very pleasant day spent with the people I love most. Thank you, Brian and children, for making my day so special. I feel so very loved and blessed by you all.
