I'm 35 today!!!!

Today was a big birthday. 35. It's a weird number. It's half way to 70. I was fine with 30, but I just feel different. Maybe cause I'm on my way to 40. "How did I get here?" I am looking forward to the next 35 years, though. So, don't count me out yet!

On Friday eve, my mom, sister and I went for a little adventure. With NO kids in tow we headed to Berkely to 4th street and made it just in time to quickly browse through the Crate and Barrel outlet. I love that place. I can't wait to have my own big beautiful house to fill with that stuff. Mom bought me a cute new rug for my kitchen - a a few things for an upcoming wedding - and then we were off to the next mission.

We were looking for a little shop called - Love at First Bite. It is a bakery/cupcakery. We are doing a wedding in August where the bride is doing cupcakes on tables for centerpieces. So we just HAD to find the store and sample them. We found it in a small little shopping place, and there weren't many left, but enough for a dozen. The Lemon Kisses were my favorite.

Next mission was to find a place to eat... lots to choose from, but couldn't decide - we finally stopped at a little Italian cafe/bistro place. Had some yummy, different pizza and grilled asparagus. I think it was all pretty healthy, we could've had everything vegan, but we decided against it :)

Now to my birthday -

My sweet Rebecca made me breakfast in bed - cereal, toast w/butter and chocolate milk. Even some roses from outside. She is a caretaker.

Later I rewoke up to hot waffles, made by my sweet husband.

Off we went about 1pm to the temple pageatn at the Oakland Temple. There is a matinee so families can come with their children - never will we go to a matinee again - lots of loud, talking, crying babies, children and parents. I felt the spirit, somewhat.

Then off to Fentons!!!





We had a GOOOOOD time. Katelynn found a hair in her icecream sundae, so we got that for free. Nice, huh.
By the way, when we pulled up to Fentons, someone was pulling out and we got a primo spot - Happy Birthday to me from the Universe!!!

Dinner made by dad was bbq burgers, corn on cob and tater tots. Next was a surpise cake ~ made out of DINGDONGS~ my favorite.

I have a wonderful family and I am happy to be 35 yrs old today!!!
