Feb. 4, 2008 - Today is my birthday!!!

Posted in Everyday Grace


On this day, 34 years ago, I was born.  It's been a pretty uneventful day.  I woke up this morning and totally forgot it was my birthday.  Si-Bay gave me a birthday present last night by sleeping from 8pm - 4am this morning.  Even after 5 hours of sleep I felt very refreshed.  Underdog reminded me that he had given me a birthday present this morning.  That was when I remembered it was my birthday.  Birthdays are pretty simple when you get older. 

Yesterday was fun though.  We decided to have a family Super Bowl Party (can I get in trouble for using those words in my blog?  Maybe I should say the Big Game.)  I made Tortilla Soup for the adults and two older kids.  We even got to have a little bit of goat cheese with our soup.  Any kind of dairy is a treat in our family.  I made tostados for my two picky eaters and gave one tostados to everyone else.  Si-Bay got a bowl of black beans and steamed apples.  It was a delicious meal.  For dessert, Underdog enlisted the girls help and made me a pineapple upside down cake for my birthday.  They made it from my new Agave Nectar cookbook so I could eat it.  :)  It was very rich but very yummy.  I think that is the first time Underdog has ever volunteered to make a cake for my birthday.  I felt honored.  He also gave me my presents before the game started.  I have been asking for a copy of the ESV Bible on CD for a long time now.  He got me a copy of that and an iPod so I can put my music and the Bible on it.  I am really excited about this because now I have something to listen to while I am running. 

Speaking of running, I can't remember if I blog about my new adventure.  I am training to run a 5K.  Yea!!!  I am hoping to run one by May.  We bought a treadmill using our Christmas money from my parents.  It's been awesome being able to work out again.  I actually missed running.  The last time I ran was back in high school (10th grade.)  That was almost 20 years ago.  I have taken right to it again.  I really enjoy it. 

Well, I am off to finish my laundry and get ready to go to dinner.  My family is taking me to a Monogolian grill tonight for my birthday.   I have a coupon for a free birthday bowl.  We are also sort of celebrating Pee-Poohs birthday.  He also gets a free bowl since his birthday is in February.

I love having a place on the web to simply write out my thoughts. I am a wife and mother to 5 very special blessings ages 6 months to 8 yod. As I am growing through this season of my life, I hope to share how the Lord is teaching me to live by His daily grace and not by my own strength.
