Birthday :)

The old me hated my birthday. It was a reminder of things I didn't want to be reminded of. The new me has a different attitude about a lot of things.  One of the changes is that I decided a few weeks ago that this year was going to be different. Instead of thinking negatively about my birthday, I'd let people celebrate it. I've had a whole week of birthday fun! It started last week with a birthday lunch with Marie, Sam and Amy at Whiskey Creek. Then on Sunday, I was showered with cards and the Happy Birthday song at Chocolatte - thanks to my mom, Dawn, Maria, Sandy, Linda and Heather. In addition to other fun stuff during the week, Steve will be taking the day off on Friday, which is my actual birthday, and we're going to Sioux Falls for the whole day. We'll be back in time for my date with Riley that evening. He's taking me to 'A Flood of Jazz'. We'll get all dressed up and have a fun time of music and deserts.

Now it's time to get ready for a birthday lunch at the local mexican restaurant. But not for me. It's time to celebrate Dawn!!! So happy birthday Dawn!
