52 Weeks of Happiness :: Week 36

I had the BEST birthday last week.

The morning started with these
beautiful flowers.

Years ago, when my husband and I were dating,
I told him that I liked to get flowers.
He has given me flowers for
every birthday since then.

Smart man.

My mom asked me what I wanted
to do on my birthday
and I told her that I wanted a day by myself.

Funny how things change after you have kids.
So, she took the boys for the day
and I ate lunch all alone.

It was wonderful.
I sat on the patio and ate
Tortelli di Zucca- Butternut squash ravioli with
mascarpone cream and radicchio sauce.

I drank a glass of wine
in the middle of the afternoon
and read People Magazine.
I was in heaven.

Then, I indulged in dessert.
Dulce le Leche frozen yogurt
with cheesecake bites and caramel.

While I ate this dreamy cup of sugary delight,
Radiohead just so happened to play on the radio.

Total bliss!

Then I treated myself to a massage.
It was so serene and relaxing
that I almost drooled all over myself.

Later that evening, we all met up at my parents' house
and celebrated my big day
with a delicious cake made by our Uncle Kroger.

I opened a ton of presents and felt so loved.
My 37th year is off to a great start!
