I am 28!!

Yes it sad to say but yesterday I turned the big 28! I can't believe it. When I was little I used to think that 28 was so old. I also thought the 4th of July was for my birthday. I could never figure out why it was always 2 days after my actual birthday. Now here I am. I have had some amazing experiences in my life, I've gone to some amazing places, and meet wonderful people throughout my life. I have had some really hard times, and some really good times that I will never forget. I have a great family that loves me no matter what, and that I am truly thankful for. I had a really good day yesterday. Randy ( my wonderful husband) did everything possible to make my day special. We had a family BBQ with my family. So that meant he had to get off work early so he could prepare my favorite chicken in the world. He also cleaned the house, made some brownies, cooked some shrimp, then set up everything to party. He is AWESOME!! Thanks babe, it was great. My battery for my camera was dead when we started the BBQ, so no pictures till the end. Bummer.
Randy was so cute, he had my sister Shay go and buy me some jewelry. If you know me , you know that I am very plain and simple. I told him that I wanted to start wearing jewelry. He was afraid that he wouldn't pick out good stuff. So he had Shay be his little elf. She did a good job. I love it all. He was happy he told her she had to get big hooped earrings. He loves those, weird huh?? ha ha


He also bought me this bike. I have do to a lot of cross training on a bike and I always have to borrow my sister's bike. With the price of gas I might be using this more than I want to. Ha Ha. I love to be active and enjoy the outdoors so this was a great gift for me. Now we need to get him one so we can go on long bike rides. I love the summer, there are so many fun things to do outside.

More pictures of our BBQ. It was a lot of fun. Thanks you guys for coming and celebrating my birthday with me. Hopefully there are many more to come. I will just stop counting at 30.. Maybe by then I will have found the fountain of youth.

I'm glad you had a good birthday. 28 isn't that old - and I think you look the same as you did when you were 21. I remember when I started working for your dad you were only 14. Time flies doesn't it?

Don't crash on your new bicycle! ha ha.

One month early and now a day late. Ha! Just can't seem to get it right.
Happy Birthday Dear!!!
Looks like you had a pretty awesome day. We need to have a family bike ride... That would be funny. We could have our Mom's lead the pack on their new "old" school bikes.
Your comment cracked me up about the email blunder. Sooo true.

Congrats on turning 28! Doesn't it suck! I hate getting older. But you age very well. (since 28 is so very old.) Glad that you had a great birthday!
