Sweetness...

Well, today is my birthday. I'm not saying that for attention, promise. When I was asked what I wanted, I thought about it for a long time. Never in my wildest imagination could I have dreamed of a better day so far (and it's only noon). I worked last night and was fretting a little about being too exhausted to enjoy today when I went to bed (at 1:30 this morning). Oh well, right? Anyway, Bryan waited on his schedule so that I could go read with Jack's class this morning. I REALLY enjoy that and so does Jack, which makes my day too! I will treasure every moment because all too soon he will "too cool" or "too old" to be so excited about my coming to class! On Mondays, I volunteer in Grace's class, so I got to see her this morning too! And all three of the older kids gave me the most beautiful cards and pictures this morning! My mom came over and made a cake with Katie and Mary while I was at Grace's class and had beautiful sweaters for me. Katie and Mary and I are going to go shopping for a little bit (they are my shoppers :)). My "aunt-in-law" wrote a beautiful note to me that brought tears to my eyes, and so many friends have wished me a happy birthday. Bryan is making me a wonderful dinner tonight, and we have NOTHING else planned for the evening! It just makes me feel so special and so blessed! So THANK YOU to everyone!!! What a PERFECT day!!!
