So I have the best couple of friends in the world here in Iowa that I kind of came across through my sister getting married. One is my sister's ex husband's sister (Liz) and the other is her best friend (Katie). I wanted to skip my birthday and they decided that I couldn't just act like it was another day so they took me to Okiboji for dinner and then to Jo-Ann fabric (love love love this store always and my mom and I used to go all the time) where Katie picked out the back to the quilt I am making for her. She truly hates to shop but I think I truly saw her entire self light up when I out of the blue mentioned she could have flannel on the back! WOW! She was finally excited! (or so I think that is excitement for her)
I then went back to pick up my son at their house where Katie's daughter was watching him and was surprised with a cake that my son decorate with tons and tons of sprinkles. He is the BEST son a mother could ask for. Although there are times (when he is reading) he is a handful to try and get motivated. He is my sunshine and I fell in love with him before he was ever born.
Overall it was a wonderful day. I got a few cards from my folks, my aunt, a few friends and of course had cake! 40 will be over in a year and this too will pass...
