THE BIRTH MONTH HAS OFFICIALLY COME TO AN END....

Today was the birth "DAY" celebration. My friends and coworkers really spoiled me today. I am so blessed!

One of the gals I work w/ has a mom that makes and decorates cakes. The cakes are absolutely to die for. The last time we had an office function she was unable to make our cake b/c she was out of the country so someone purchased a cake from a local bakery. Although this bakery (Baeslers) makes awesome cakes I was able to restrain myself and pass it up.

Welp, she brought me my own personal sized cake from her mom today! It was the size of a mini loaf pan. There was a little guilt in eating it (not all in one sitting) but I know that riding/swimming/walking it off is feasible.

Tonight was the high school open house--the parents were given the opportunity to walk their child's schedule and meet all their teachers. There is nothing like being pulled aside, the 2nd day of school mind you, to have that little talk. Fortunately she was very nice--I think we will be getting to know one another this year.

Nat has been saying all along that he wants to try out for basketball. Fortunately I stopped the basketball coach tonight and asked when conditioning starts b/c he informed me it starts tomorrow. Tryouts are around the first week of November. I am very grateful that they are starting this soon so he can get involved and focused. One of my concerns was too much idle time.

Thanks again for all the birthday greetings! I am so loved! Lovins right back atcha!

Year 39, time to kick into high gear. Only 364 day left to 40!
