I had a horrible day at work on Friday, simply never felt as disheartened about my job as I did leaving the parking lot that afternoon so I can’t even begin to explain how wonderful it was to escape to Jarrett Farm and enjoy a six course meal that ended in a double layered chocolate fudge cake with rasberry topping. Besides having a fancy dinner with my husband and being able to sleep in on Saturday, my ultimate birthday wish was to simply have time alone to read. I read from three different books, a total of 73 pages. I know that probably doesn’t seem like a lot to many of you but it was an amazing feat for me. I haven’t read that much in such a short time since before Liam was born. I also got some wonderful smelling candles and a set of magnetic frames from Cindy, a yoga outfit from my mom and a gazing ball from my friend Crystal. The last item has a funny story behind it but I don’t think I’m going to tell it on here since it involves the over-consumption of alcohol and I’m trying to maintain a responsible reputation.
