Well today is the DAY!! I turn 35 today ! A day I have long awaited. I can officially STOP counting birthdays now. All I wanted for my DAY was to be out of town at the BEACH. Michael gave me my wish and we are sitting here on the sand. What a great GIFT.



I have spent the last 5 days here watching ALL my BOYS play in the ocean, build sand castles, try to touch a seagull (to earn $100 from Grandpa) and bury each other. What more can a GIRL ask for?



We are going to Sea World tomorrow and will come end our trip and come home on Sunday. I have LOVED every minute of our "birthday vacation" and can only be THANKFUL on this Thanksgiving Day.



How VERY blessed I am. I have an adoring husband, 4 "Loud Boys" that I could not live without, siblings that I love and parents, who without their example, love and guidance I would not be as blessed as I am TODAY.



Thank you for all the birthday wishes!! I feel VERY loved today and treasure the gifts that I have been GIVEN.



I LOVE YOU ALL...

Happy (belated) Birthday, my friend. Among the many blessings I count, one of the best is the privilege of being friends with you. I'm glad you were born!

What a great "gratitude" post. Sounds like your week on the beach was wonderful. Does Grandpa owe any money to the seagull touchers? Love to you and your "boys"!
