That' right...today I turned 29 years old.  WOW is all I can say.  Time is flying by and I just don't feel like I should be starting my last year of my twenties today.  I have been dreading this birthday, but it has actually been a pretty good one :-)

My day started off with Mark waking me up to tell me Happy Birthday.  I wanted to get up early, but I decided to sleep until 8:30.  After all I am on vacation and it's my day.  Once I got up I went right out to the shop to get my hardware on my dresser so I could move it inside tonight.  Mission accomplished!
dresser finished and in the house WooHoo!

Then Marks Mom stopped by and brought me my gift and a gift from Marks Grandma

 my favorite...Chocolate Pie from Marks Grandma and a Pecan Pie from Marks Mom...yummy!!!
Marks parents also got me this cute necklace and earrings that match  :)

Then I came inside and started cleaning.  I know that sounds lame on your birthday, but a birthday is no excuse for a dirty house!  Actually I didn't get much done...got the kitchen cleaned, swept and mopped but it is dirty again already (((sigh))).  I also vacuumed and done a little cleaning in the bedroom that is a mess from having the furniture painted.

After that Mark came home from hunting.  We were both starving since we hadn't ate all day (it was around 2:00) so we decided to go to dinner early.  We never do gifts for birthdays we always just go out to eat.  My choice was Milton's, they have a salad bar that is to die for and the Stromboli is so yummy.  But first Meg was going to stop by to bring my birthday gift on her way back home.

Isn't this purse so cute?  OMG I love it :-)  Thanks Meg!!!  It's perfect!

After Meg left me and Mark headed out for our dinner.  There was not a sole in Milton's which was nice.  We ate and headed out before traffic got too bad.  It was perfect.  Also Milton's had sent me a coupon for a free entree so it didn't even cost that much.  Thanks Milton's!!!  Free Birthday Stromboli for me YAY!

Then back home. My sister stopped by and brought my present on her way to work.

From my Sissy
 Matt and Dusty ended up stopping by to bring some deer, but I am going to pretend they just came to tell me happy birthday (LOL).  Then Mommy came and brought my birthday cake and it was sooo cute :)
a Princess cake for a princess (me) of course!

 Winston, Me and Mom
Winston and I trying to light the candles...there was A LOT of them :)

Bronson and his girl friend stopped by too, once again I am going to pretend it was just for my birthday ;)

It's my Birthday and it's been a lovely day!!!  Happy 29 years to me...
This was suppose to be me blowing out my candles...as you can tell by all the smoke Mom was a little late with the picture.  If you know my Mom that's not surprising.  LOVE YOU MOM!

and last but not least...my birthday present to myself.  A NEW pair of Sperry's, these were so cute and if you read my post here  you will understand why these shoes are necessary.  No more wet socks!  One of the lady's I work with will tell me "April don't wear them shoes with the holes in the bottom, it's suppose to rain tomorrow"  HA HA!  I can't live with out my Sperry's!!!  Well I can, but I love their shoes and I prefer not to be without a pair :)
