Waking Up To Rose Petals…

I woke up this morning to a rose petal strewn bed and room.Birthday wishes

Today is my birthday.

My husband and children decided to commemorate the occasion by fixing me breakfast in bed.  AND by plastering my bedroom with roses.

Without going into too many details, let me just say that it was definitely one of those “I’m going to remember this for as long as I live” moments.

My family is, by far, my greatest gift in life.  Birthdays don’t matter to me so much anymore.  Instead of gifts, I find myself looking towards EXPERIENCES with the most important people in my life – my kids, my husband, my family and my friends.  (IRL and on the Net)

So while I have you here, let me just say “thank you” for helping to make this year of my life spectacular!

(Excuse the brevity of this blog but… I’ve got some celebratin’ to do!)
