On Monday, I celebrated my 28th birthday. I certainly don't feel 28 in the sense that I'm now only 2 years away from 30. That seems strange to me. I heard the saying 'The days are long but the years are short.' It's so true. So, the day before we went to Disneyland (posted about that trip) and then on my birthday. Fred surprised me with an 80 minute massage at the spa (my favorite spa) and it was heavenly. Then when I came home I was surprised with a 'Princess Party'. Everything was pink, purple and princess themed. It was adorable. The kids made cards, picked out the decor and helped pick out my cake. I loved it. I really enjoy being the only girl, especially at times like this where I'm the only one who gets princess and girl stuff.
After all that, Fred and I went out to dinner while my friend babysat for us. She even got me a Harry Potter bracelet! I really wanted one for a long time now. I loved it. She's so sweet. Fred got me the whole collection of Faerie Tale Theatre movies. Seems silly to get that for a 28 year old but these movies are really special to me. I remember vividly going to the library and renting them out on VHS with my mom. I would watch them all the time and I was always so excited to see which ones that had each time I went back. It's a big collection so I always wished someone returned one I wanted to see. I have a really bad memory and honestly don't remember a whole lot from growing up but I remember that. I love these movies, even now, and I really wanted to own them so I could always have them. All of them. And watch them anytime I wanted. Fred knew I loved these movies growing up so him getting them for me was such a thoughtful gift. I can't wait to watch them with the boys. I hope they enjoy them as much as I do.
I had a great birthday. I felt so loved. Fred always knows how to make me feel so important, loved and special. I don't deserve him. Especially because I don't always treat him as good as he treats me. I don't do it on purpose. I'm just not as thoughtful. I need to work on that. Anyway, I hope 28 is my best year yet!
