Happy Birthday to ME!

Just wanted to remember my 34th birthday. Nobody else has to read this. Last week Jeanine called and said her tooth had broken and that she wanted to use one of her free tickets to come out here and get it fixed. Luckily for me the only time available was the 4th and 5th. Jeremy was a saint. He had already taken the day off, but said if I wanted him to fix her tooth for my birthday he would. What a guy! Even though the 4th was a cold, dreary and totally foggy day her plane only landed 10 min. late. Jeanine and I headed to Ashland to window shop and eat at Pasta Piazzi, while Jeremy had a game night at his office. Jeanine bought me a fantastic puzzle piece charm that read, "I am grateful". My wonderful magnetic coat shoplifted another one that read, "I am fierce". (My fierce self returned the stolen one). Jeanine was wearing her southern California coat under my long white trench because it was a whopping 24 degrees outside. Dinner was fantastic. This morning I woke up to my favorite breakfast , Pecan encrusted croissant french toast, reserved only for my birthday and mother's day. I received a beautiful birthday shirt, some amazing kitchen knives, and awesome dish towels. While Jeremy was fixing Jeanine I went to the gym. Afterwards Jeanine and I went shopping for some new cereal bowls (I was down to four, and with five in the family that's a problem). Came home and Jeremy had prepared my favorite almond cake topped with berries, which we ate at three so Jeanine could have some before her plane left. All this was interspersed with phone calls from friends and family. After dropping Jeanine off we went to dinner at Olive garden where Jaden gave me his Andes mint, because he knows there my favorite. LOVE HIM SO MUCH! Came home to a roaring fire and warm house. What a great way to get older. I don't know how Jeremy does it all, especially on 4 hours sleep. He always goes out of his way to make my birthday's amazing. Thanks.
