birthdays......another one?

this past wednesday, november 10th, was my birthday!
yes, i know that you are shocked that i am getting older....
because, i certainly don't look it...hahaha!
i turned 45.....pretty much smack dab in the middle age of life...

it was a busy, crazy birthday....
phone call from ashley at 8:00 am, master's swimming, going to jordan high school for fun bus sign-ups, lunch with annie cheney, boundary committee meeting, young women's.....
the older you get, the more your birthday's turn into ordinary days.....
but, i do have a sweet family who make me feel loved!
when i was down at the high school, addison and a friend carried in 72 cookies from paradise bakery.....yum!
the "commons", where i was gathering sign-ups, was packed that day....
addison gathered his friends around him and everyone else joined in to sing me happy birthday!
it was very sweet!
i was told that there were 72 cookies - 1 for every year of my age.....thanks a lot, add!
we shared the cookies with kids at the school!
i thought that addison had bought the cookies with his own money....$50 worth.....
but, he and mark had planned together to do this during lunch - no wonder mark had asked what time i would be down at the school......
mark and addison are very sweet! mark is always doing something for me every year to make my birthday special....thank you!

face book is sometimes a good thing....
for example, you can go onto your wall on your birthday and see all the birthday wishes from lots of your friends.....
i never knew i had so many friends....:0)

it was a wonderful day even though it was a crazy, busy day!
onto another year.....hope it's a good one!
