Happy Birthday to me!!

Okay, so my awesome hubby celebrated his 33rd birthday two weeks ago. Now it's my turn! I'm 27 today! Last year on my birthday, I cried myself to sleep the night before because: Brandon wasn't with me (he had accepted his new job in Logan and had to be up there to help with registration), my grandma had passed away two days before, I had to find a song for my grandma's funeral, and deal with her death, I was trying to pack up our duplex and get ready for our move, I was stressed because we didn't have a place to live, or any really promising leads, either, and, oh yeah, did I mention that Brandon wasn't with me?? It was the first time in the 9 years we've been together that I haven't at least seen him on my birthday. He did have flowers sent to me, though, and called me a couple of times during the day to tell me he loves me.

Since then, we've moved twice, but the last time was into our new home, and we love it! The boys are settled in their elementary school, and won't have to move again mid-year, or make new friends then lose them 'cause we have to move again, Brandon has a great job that he loves, I still get to be a stay-at-home mom, and I get to see Brandon today. Might seem like a little thing, but it's huge to me! There's nothing I want more on my birthday than to be with my hubby and kids. The boys are giving me their gifts this afternoon - one-on-one time spent playing the Wii with them (and Braden will even let me be player one!!!) :D I'm happy, and that's what I want on my birthday. :D

So, Happy Birthday to me! Here's to a great day, and a great year!

Happy Birthday!

I just saw your blog, but I've been thinking of you all day! I hope your day was glorious and I hope all those boys spoiled you rotten!

Love you, Renee, and miss you like crazy. Happy, happy birthday!
