In years past, I have shamelessly dropped present hints, countdowns, and reminders in the weeks [months?] leading up to my birthday. I might as well have just made a billboard that said “Hey everyone, don’t forget it’s my big day on October 24!!!” But this year, I played it pretty low key. I didn’t make a big deal out of anything. No over the top plans, no New Orleans vacation, and in fact, I even worked on my birthday - I think this is the first year I’ve done the 9 to 5 on my b-day. I didn’t plan a party, or a night out on the town, but my wonderful husband did coordinate an awesome dinner with friends. [I must admit though, when I had to wake up from my nap to get ready for my birthday dinner, I may have considered cancelling to keep on sleeping the day away. No offense friends, pregnancy is exhausting!]
But when all was said and done, this was truly one of the best birthdays EVER. Early in the week, I spent time in Dallas catching up with co-workers and friends. On my birthday, I had a birthday breakfast of chocolate pop-tarts toasted to perfection by my loving husband (at my own request, he did offer eggs), and then I had 8 dozen cookies delivered to me at work (sugar overload??). Over the next few days, I had an Aggie football win, a cozy dinner with my parents, and a wonderful evening at The Winflo Osteria on W. 6th Street with close friends (several of whom showed up on crutches and some who traveled over an hour to join - they are real troopers!)
So a big thank you to everyone who contributed to my happy 26th birthday. I appreciate the thoughts, cards, gifts, and especially the time we shared. I just know this year will be one of my best years yet!
