Happy Birthday Momma

Today is my birthday. We all know how much I love my birthday...and today did not disappoint. I was getting ready for work when the bathroom door jiggled a few times and then finally opened. A very sleepy little boy with a crazy bed head handed me a card. I opened a precious Mickey Mouse card with a gift certificate for a "headache relief" massage...I'm not sure who was more excited at this point....me about the massage or Miles about the card. After a few minutes of hugging and talking about the fact that it was momma's birthday, he grabbed the Mickey Mouse card and headed for the door. He turned around right as he got to the door, pointed & shook his finger over his shoulder at me, and said "Happy Bird-day Momma"....and that was enough joy for the whole day.

But my friends at work didn't think so. So, they fixed a massive breakfast for me. And then, I received a gazillion Facebook posts, emails, calls and texts from friends and family all day long. What a happy day. Darrin surprised me with a cookie dough blizzard at work....he knows me. After work we went to eat dinner. We had to stay local since Darrin had practice. Volleyball season will always keep us from a blow out birthday and anniversary celebration...and that's ok. Darrin's birthday was last week and we celebrated with Mexican for lunch and brownie batter instead of a cake. During season, you just get by with what you can.

I'm celebrating now in the silence of my house. Miles went to sleep at 7:15pm b/c he was exhausted and Darrin has practice until 10ish. It was a fun day, but normal for the most part. Thankfully my "normal" life is pretty great.

I almost forgot (not really) the most important thing about today....it's our TEN year anniversary! Looking back, we didn't really know each other that well after only five months of dating...but we knew enough to know that we never wanted to be apart....and ten years later nothing has changed. I love you babe....you are the only one for me.
