I survived

I thought I would let you all know that I survived the first day back to work and turning 30, all in the same day.  I didn't even shed a tear.  I guess I am now stronger in my older age.  There was almost a breaking point when I did get a little teary eyed.  I mean, don't you wanna cry happy tears when you receive an email from your wonderful husband that says:

 Happy Birthday, Mommy!  We Love You!

Gah, that little boy gets my heart strings.

(I don't even know what heart strings are, but he gets em')

Then I have such wonderful friends / co-workers that know what a special yet hard day it was for me.  I came to my office and found these!  How thoughtful!  I love you Dawn, Gina & Glenda! You are the best!

It even has a fancy dragonfly on it!  I have been trying to figure out how it's attached to the flower and have decided it's magic. There is seemingly no other explination.

Then I had a couple of other friends / co-workers that got me a cake.  I didn't get a picture of it...I hate I didn't because it was so cute!  It had three plastic puppies sitting on it in icing that looked like grass.  Shareta, you know me too well.  Thanks, friends for making my day special.

I've had a good return to work experience.  There has been a bit of playing catch up, but not bad. It really has been a celebratory time; not only because I'm back to work where I feel so loved or because it's my birthday but also because I got a promotion!  I'm really excited and nervous all at the same time.

Maybe the birthday wish I made when I blew out my candles (at my surprise party Saturday - will post pics later) is coming true.  I can't tell you what it was though because that's bad luck and we don't want any of that!

Have a wonderful day and weekend!
