So today is my 32nd birthday! Birthdays for me are like getting bills in the mail, you know there coming but yet you still have to deal with it. I know I should have a better outlook than I do. I guess it's because Billy's been able to miss my birthday for the past 4 years. He always makes holidays and birthdays 10 times better when he's here. But this year I did have a bunch of great friends make me feel special. My best friend Ang overnighted me her grandma's homemade raviolis (they tasted so great). Talene brought by a great tasting chocolate cake. Danica and Lisa called just to make sure I knew they knew it was my birthday. Many, many friends and family texts, facebooked and emailed. I really have felt loved today! I am so blessed! Thank you, Thank You!
In celebration of my birthday I thought I would tell you a little about myself. I was born in Cedar City, Utah. I lived there about two weeks when my parents moved. They then moved a bunch more times before moving and settling in Orem, Utah. I was 7 years old and about 3 months away from turning 8. I loved growing up in Orem. I have so many great memories of Utah. I really miss it a lot. I lived there until Billy and I got married and moved up to SLC. Then Billy joined the Air Force and we moved to North Dakota and then on to Turkey. While in Turkey Billy switched to the Army and we then moved to Missouri, Georgia, and now are here in beautiful North Carolina. No matter what beautiful exciting places we move my heart still aches to go home to recharge my batteries. I only ever need a couple of weeks and then I can go back to wherever we live and love it there too. I am very blessed and I'm very grateful for where I've been and where I am going.

I am totally serious about getting together to party for your birthday. Amanda comes home tonight i think, and so you, me, her, and Danika should go out and celebrate all three of your birthdays, since each of you had them without a husband around.
