28 years...

I celebrated my 28th Birthday yesterday! Those of you who know me well, know that I actually celebrate my birthday the whole week! lol. I think birthdays are so special and so I always make a big deal out of everyone's birthday - including my own!

This year, I began my special week with some snow days and my special day with a precious card from Chris and Lily telling me how much they both love me! :-) There is no better way to start the day than that! I had to work and with the ball tournament it was a long day, but I did have... tons of birthday cards and well wishes from my students. Flowers. Gifts. Cards. Visitors to my classroom to hug me and wish me a wonderful day. Lunch prepared for me by my friends at work including both a chocolate cake and a made-from-scratch peach pie! Luckily both of our tournament games were early and we were done by dinner time! Chris took me out to Red Lobster! :-) We also had to run by the hospital (an unorthodox birthday stop - please pray for Chris' sister, who seems to be having complications from an earlier surgery). And, perhaps the best part of my birthday, a half day to sleep in this morning because I didn't sleep well last night... and even better... when Chris found out I was taking a half day, he took one with me to take care of me! :-) And to top of my birthday week on Friday with a cherry on top????? ... we WON the county tournament tonight! That's right, my man coached an amazing group of boys and took the title of champions tonight! How rewarding.

Overall, a WONDERFUL birthday week! Wonder what next week will hold?
