Whew - I Made It!

I need someone to make me a shirt that says, "I survived my 41st birthday with no cake!"  Holy cow!  I never thought I would make it, but I did! 

I was worried this morning because the last dream I remember last night was me standing at a counter full of all kinds of chocolate, cookies, and cupcakes, and taking as much as I possibly could and stuffing it all into some bowls I was carrying!  It doesn't take a genius to analyze that one, huh?

I actually had a great day!  It started with Geoff and Abby bringing me a birthday cake with candles on the iPad.  I actually got to blow out the candles and everything!  Geoff downloaded the app last night.  Then I opened my gift from them - it was an iPad 2 just for me!!!  Do I have an awesome husband or what?!?!?!  I forgot to blog when I got home from the hospital that he surprised me that day with a pearl necklace and earrings.  Then to give me an iPad for my bday - it has been an expensive month for my sweetie!  He is a good man!

I also went and got a pedicure this afternoon.  My Mom sent me a card with some money, which I immediately put on my amazon.com account to use on my Kindle, and my Mother-In-Law sent me some beautiful flowers.  My Dad and Sandy sent me a gift card for one of my favorite clothing stores, which I will be needing very soon as all of my clothes are close to falling off of me.  I received many wonderful cards from friends, some of which made me cry, Kristin Holt!  And a whole lot of texts and Facebook posts wishing me well today!  I am so thankful for all of my friends and family.  I know I am not always the best at returning calls, texts and emails, but I do cherish each and every one of you, and can't imagine my life without you!  Thank you so much for being so supportive of me during this journey I am taking.

I can't believe I'm 41!
