Kim's 29th Birthday

Can I just say I am so excited about this blogging thing. This will be my journal from now on and I can't wait to see what becomes of it! I believe the greatest gift you can leave your loved ones is a journal of your life. I have alway LOVED to journal and I cherish all of the memories I took the time to write on paper. What an amazing time we live in to be able to share with so many people our thoughts and feelings.

My Dad called and asked me to go to lunch on my Birthday but I was already going out with my in-laws.... so he took me today. We met at Apple Bee's and spent the next hour and a half talking. Long after the oriental salad was gone we were still talking. I absolutely adore my dad. We have always been close but when you get married and have kids you don't always find the one on one time with your dad. Especially as a daughter you kinda talk more to your mom when you become a mom. I have so many wonderful memories with my dad growing up and I am so grateful for that. I was kind of a tom boy and loved going hunting and fishing with my dad. He tought me how to live in the outdoors. I am defiantly a girly girl you all know that. But thanks to my Dad I can get down and dirty and I even know how to shoot a shot gun. Hard to imagine I know. A little cheesy to take the camera I know but I wanted to have a picture of this fun day I spent with my Dad. Thanks for a great lunch Dad I love you!

So yesterday was my Birthday and I am now 29! I have to say it was the best Birthday ever!!! Jon is always such a good gift giver and always makes my Birthday special. We all went to breakfast that morning at Mimi's cafe and it was sooo....yummy! We all got french toast and shared. Later that afternoon I went to lunch with all my sis-in-laws and Mother-in-law at Jason's deli. It was so much fun to share my day with my all of them. Cade got me a Yoga mat which I am so excited about. Now I won't have to lay on the germ infested floor at the gym. Jake got me a water bottle that I love. Now I am set for the Gym. Jon got me a labeler so now I can label my entire house. Since Jenn became a "Professional Organizer" I think we have all tried to be a bit more organized. I have learned so much from her. Especially after living at her house for four days. You should see her closets they are amazing! Now I can have my closets look like hers with everything in it's place. I am so excited. Jon also watched the kids after work so I could go and get a massage. It was the most relaxing hour of my day. He also did the dishes that night and cleaned the entire kitchen. What a great hubby. One last surprise was a Baskin Robins mint chocolate chip ice cream cake. Jon even got Birthday hats. We ate so much we were sick. I can't even look at it today. But it was sure yummy. Thanks Jon and Boys my birthday was a wonderful day just for me. I LOVE YOU!
