7 Quick Takes ~ 31st Birthday Edition

(Since I want to be able to look back and remember a few of the details... For more quick takes, visit Jennifer.)

Since my youngest brother was born the day before my birthday, my mom tends to combine our birthday celebrations. This year, my parents took us all out to the local Mexican restaurant for our birthdays. My mom pointed out that this year her youngest and oldest were turning 13 and 31! Interesting...

We have our alarm set to a country music station. I woke up on Friday, another year older, to this. It made me get all teary eyed... Time sure is going by fast!

Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

My hubby and boys gave me a yummy tuna sandwich, flowers, and beautiful cards. (Plus a couple more awesome gifts after we had cake!)

Hubby even gave me ANOTHER birthday cake!! This one was a healthy carrot cake, but it tasted just as good as the Chocolate one, believe it or not!

YES!! I WAS able to blow all 31 candles out BOTH times, and NO I am not going to show you the pictures!!

My Aunt always notices what is broken around here... The last time she babysat she noticed that our toaster was no longer working on one side, and so she gave me a super fancy new toaster for my birthday. Not only that, she spent the night so that hubby and I could go out to dinner, a movie, and ice cream!! She spoils us!! Thank you Auntie B!

I love, love, LOVE, Red Robin's Garlic Fries!! Have you ever had them? Yummm!!! I don't even want to know how many calories are in them though...


After dinner we went to see Valkyrie, and then headed to Cold Stone for a bowl of Germanchokolatekake... It's what I usually order there, but it was especially fitting this time! ;) (OH! They were both really good!!!)

I love my family. I've been so blessed!
