Happy Birthday to Me!!!



Okay, so I don't usually like a big fuss over my birthday. The only thing that I try to squeeze in is have Nick changed a few more diapers maybe have him get me something to drink or eat when we are both laying on the couch...I do play it up a little. But when it comes to parties and presents I try to run the opposite direction. I don't like the whole center of attention sort of thing. But between Nick's family and my family the phone seems to never stop ringing which therefore doesn't let me just go throughout my day like no big deal and I might add that the phone started this morning at 8:30. This is usually how I think but for some reason my mind has changed this year. I love the phone calls and am soaking up all the attention this year!! Is this what happens the older you get??

Our friends John and Angie came up and stayed with us last night and they come walking into our house with a big pink present and I admit I was waiting for the uncomfortable feeling but it never came!! I opened it up and it was an AWESOME panini and sandwich press, which I have always wanted one of these. I was totally stoked!!!
Today, my friends Shellie, Rachel and Dawnelle took me out to lunch again I don't like the whole "Jessie's birthday", but I wasn't uncomfortable at all and I loved how thoughtful and sweet my friends are. Even if it was a fast lunch due to the kiddies I still loved it. I got a big bag of chocolates, I think secretly my friend Rachel is trying to make me fat, and I got this cool makeup bag to keep in my purse, which I LOVE...some hair products and lotion and lipstick. My friends are AWESOME!!!
Nick over did himself this year and bought my a new i-pod and a sound deck to put the i-pod on. It is way COOL!! And once I get some music put on it Davis and I will be jamming all day long. Nick woke me up this morning before he left for work showering me with kisses and singing "Happy Birthday". I seriously have the best husband ever!!
Not to mention the money my parents sent in the mail a few days ago and I ran out and bought a new rug for our foyer. I would have never in a million years paid for a rug like this on my own!! Thanks Mom and Dad :)
But really I can't forget the best present of them all and that was Davis saying "Happy to you momma" with a HUGE hug to go with it....I love that kid!!

So, overall this birthday has been AWESOME and thanks to such wonderful friends and family for making me feel so LOVED!!! I love all of you guys and thanks so much for everything that you do for me!! I seriously could get use to this sort of treatment. Y'all should have been thankful that I was low maintenance when it came to my birthdays and now you have created a monster because you totally out did yourselves this year and I expect bigger and greater things next year!! So, this is your warning you have 364 days to start planning for my birthday next year!

Happy Birthday Again - you are such a great writer!!! That picture of the icing and sprinkles makes me Crave CAKE! So what time should we come over :-)....
Make Nick wait on you hand and foot- all the way until 11:59am ... that's what I like to do and sometimes I can squeeze a little Birthday Time until the day after! Enjoy!!! Wren

Hey. We are getting ready to call and sing Happy Birthday to you. I just got out of class and I'm picking the girls up. They are in the middle of making sugar cookies. We love and wish you the best birthday ever.

Love all of US

Happy Birthday!!! I didn't realize that it was your birthday. And I call myself a friend! It sounds like you have a great day. You still have 3 hours and 20 minutes to keep milking it! :)

I didn't know it was your birthday! Happy Birthday Jessie! I wish we could be there to make your head just a little bit bigger for your day but oh well! Just kidding...you don't have a big head! You should get everything you want for your birthday. Have Nick talk to Erik about birthdays and special occasions. I can't remember the last time he bought me something without taking me to the store and buying it in front of me!

YEA! Happy Birthday!

I'm like you...I don't like lots of hoop-holah for my own, but I LOVE other people's birthdays. So fun! And I'm so glad that you had people there to help remind you how great you are! Good times.

Happy Birthday. Sounds like a good one. Maybe I'll make Ryan read this before mine comes up.

Rachel said...

I think that chocolate is always necessary on a birthday-no matter what!

Happy Birthday! I feel bad that I didn't know! I'm going to kick Shellie's butt for not telling me. I'll ahve to take you out to lunch one day when I get back in town. Are you 25 now? :) Or is it 26. You're just a baby!
I'm glad you had a great b-day!

Kate said...

ps- yes I'm a little dyslexic....i.e. ahve instead of have.

Andrea said...

I better start planning....I have to make it up to you that I totally missed it. One day I'll rejoin the world. :-)

I am very sorry that I forgot your birth date Jessie. I try so hard, but my short term memory loss due to combat related P.T.S.D. gets kind of bad at times. This posting is most late but better than nothing I would suppose.
