Special Birthday wishes did abound this morning as Bobby woke early this morning wishing me a Happy Birthday. I’m saying goodbye to my 30’s this year and looking forward to my upcoming big 40 next year. I’m feeling pretty smug as Lauren thought I was 33 so by the time I’m 40, maybe I’ll be lookin’ even a little younger. We plan to celebrate Saturday evening by going to my favorite place in the Stock Yards for dinner, then to my favorite place for chocolate peanut butter fudge, then to Billy Bobs to dance.

Lauren and I are going out to lunch today otherwise it will be a pretty quiet day. I came downstairs this morning to find this beautiful bouquet (pictured above) of flowers and card from Lauren. She’s quite a thoughtful young lady.

Pops beat me to our birthday wishes this year as he called me first. We kinda have this race thing going on where we try to beat the other one but he won today.

I talked to mom briefly and she’s having a little trouble with her vision from her accident Tuesday. She just started seeing flashes and hairs so she’s off to the ER this morning. She thinks it could be a displaced retina and knows if that’s the case, it can be fixed. I just hope and pray it’s nothing serious.
