My 34th Birthday!

Today is my 34th birthday. I have to admit that it really isn't so bad to be 34.

We just had a normal day at church. The primary kids were cute and sang happy birthday to me. After church I had a few friends stop by to wish me a happy birthday. That is so nice. Even some from my old ward. Who would have thought that they would remember my birthday. It was so sweet. Then we went to my mom's house for my birthday dinner. She always tries to make our birthdays special. I really love and appreciate her for this. My whole family was there, including my Grandma. For my birthday, she handwrote me the sweetest birthday card. She told of some memories she had of me and it was so sweet. It made me cry. I am so grateful to have that from her. It was the best present she could have given me. I will always treasure it. My family gave me some really nice gifts and when we got home there were cookies from some other neighbors who remembered my birthday. Steve and I are always amazed at how sweet people can be. It was so appreciated. My primary presidency took me to lunch on Friday for my birthday. They are also so great and I love them and appreciate them so much. Steve's parents gave me a gift card to get a facial at a local spa. I have never had one before so I am way excited for that. They are really great to me as well.

As you can see, on this my 34th birthday, I am feeling extremely grateful for all these wonderful people in my life who make me feel special and touch me in so many ways. I love them all and hope that they know it. Thanks everyone for helping me to have a great birthday!
