My birthday was a couple of weeks ago. It came and went, and now I'm officially "in" my thirties. Yikes.
Typically, my parents come to visit for my birthday weekend and babysit for us so Matt & I can celebrate with a weekend "away" (even though we usually stay in town). Unfortunately, my dad had knee replacement surgery recently, so there was no way they could travel to Dallas. I have to say that when I realized that this was the first birthday they haven't visited since I can remember, I was a little sad, but it's ok. Every year is different, and this year was a wonderful birthday celebration. Hopefully next year things will be back to normal. :)
The birthday weekend started with a family day. We took a trip to the Arboretum (my favorite) and had a picnic--more pictures for another post. Then that night, Matt took me on a special dinner date to Sissy's--a new (to us) restaurant that has delicious home-cookin' food.
When Matt asked what I wanted for my birthday, I told him that I wanted a day "off" from being a mom. This meant sleeping in the guest room so they couldn't wake me up early :) and spending the day with friends and relaxing. It was wonderful. I've always been a girl who enjoys "me" time, so this was the perfect gift that Matt could have given me. I felt very loved and special. :)
