Since my 30th birthday last year was all about celebrating, this year I decided it should be all about relaxation.  Thanks to my husband and friends, it was exactly that.  It all started with . . .

  • Kevin letting me lay in bed until 6:30, since he didn't have PT, and so was there to distract Derek and Lily.  (I still heard Derek trying to get in the bedroom, but I knew Kevin had things under control.)
  • Then, Lily and I made cinnamon swirl muffins for breakfast – so yummy!
  • Next, Marilyn took Derek for me so I could go spend the morning at the Vanilla Day Spa enjoying their "Mommy's Day Out" package that Kevin gave me :).  After a massage, a fantastic facial, and a pedicure, I truly felt like a queen.
  • After that I met up with Kevin and Derek for a terriyaki chicken bowl for lunch at the mall. Derek ran to greet me, threw his arms around me and said, "Mom, I missed you so much!"  Ahh, I love that little boy!
  • Later on, after picking up Lily from school, we headed out for the Olive Garden to enjoy a delicious dinner that I didn't have to cook or clean up :).
  • Then it was back home for presents.  I was so spoiled, and even got the movie, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" from my sister Holly – ahh, the memories :).  Kevin won though, and he  really surprised me.  First with the coolest fake coupon that he made and put in my card (I wish you could read the fine print), good for a new camera.  IMG_0001
    Then, when I opened my gift from Derek, it WAS the camera :).  Best husband ever!

 *After that, it was time for our White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory.  And I am definitely getting old, because there were so many candles on that thing, that you can even see the smoke in the pictures!

 *And we ended the day with watching yesterday's new episode of The Office. 

What a fantastic day!  I couldn't have asked for more :).  Thanks to all of you who thought of me – you are the best!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I’m so so jealous of your new camera. Mine is a point and shoot and it’s about 3 years old. In the land of cameras that is OUTDATED!
    And yummy yummy cheesecake. I love that place.

    What a PERFECT day!!! And I’m so happy and excited for you that you got a new rebel!! Woo-hoo!! If they would only come out with one with video then it would be on my wish list too 🙂 Hopefully my wait won’t be too long. The size of them is SO much easier to work with than the bigger cameras. I bet you are having SO much fun with it 🙂 Happy birthday again my sweet friend!
