My 38th Birthday

                 

We just celebrated my 38th birthday and it was wonderful. I actually took off work on Friday so that I could have what I have dubbed an "Emily day"- which is a day when I only do things that I want to do. It I want a nap, I take one. If I want to watch tv and eat snacks all morning, I do that. It's fantastic. I only do this on days when the kids are at school so they aren't neglected. But I do neglect any and all housework and it's so nice. This year, the stake relief society president, Gaylene Teshima,  brought me lunch and that was super sweet of her. She stayed and ate with me and we had a great time. I also indulged in lots of snacks and I worked on planning our new England trip for this coming summer. This may not sound like fun to everyone, but I do enjoy it. 

That night we just had a relaxing friday night with pizza and movies. Then yesterday  was my actual birthday. I woke up to breakfast in bed and that was so yummy. Then Chris took the boys biking and to Sam's club with him. While they were gone, Bailey and I went shopping. When we got home, the kids and I snuggled up on the couch to watch a show and then I took a little nap. Then for dinner, Chris and I went out to "Siawok" and got pho and it was so yummy. When we got home I got to open presents and we had birthday cake. Chris had bought me a lemon raspberry bundt cake and it was so delicious. I got some great gifts, including a headache mask that I put to use immediately. My friend Melinda also sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers. She is a florist and she designed and made the bouquet herself. 


Today I had to go to another ward for a ward conference so I didn't get to attend with my family, but when I got home I got to take a quick nap before having dinner with everyone. Chris made the most delicious Alfredo sauce with seafood ravioli. Tanner made yummy garlic twists and we had some amazing green beans. It was so good and I was completely stuffed.  My family definitely spoiled me rotten. It was a great weekend, filled with  loving phone calls, texts and lots of yummy food. I'm so grateful for loved ones who make the effort to make me feel so special and so loved. Two more years until I'm 40!!!
