still trying to recup from saturday night. i am not a drinker but i will admit that i got smashed.  my party was awesome.  i have not laughed and loved so much in a long time.  my friends and husband(and my cousins) made this one hell of a night.  we had some great food and some strong drinks.  it was good to see crystal(high school friend-hadn't seen in about 5 years.) i was so happy to see her and she was just as happy to be here.  the next morning when mom calls to see what time i was picking up "X" i could barely open my eyes and my best friend was in my guest room just as smashed as i was.  we slept until about 11 and as we ate leftovers from the party we watched "why did i get married"  (tyler perry) i got the movie for my birthday and she had never seen it.  towards the end of the movie my husband shows up with our son, so there went the peace and quiet :)  we took lots of pictures and i can't wait to get them developed. 

today was a great day.  my 30th birthday.  i was awakened by my husband with heart shaped pancakes, sausage, and eggs.  i spent the day with my friend, shopping and ended it with  a small get-together at my grandparents house.  i received so many wonderful gifts and as i drove home i just thanked god for keeping me just one more day....to see 30.  i am so blessed to have reached this milestone in my life because so many of my peers have passed away.  i am greatful for another year of life, and i look forward to so many more.  but if that is not in the master's plan i am just thankful to have made it this far.

Yesterday was beautiful, my husband and i celebrated our wedding anniversary and on sunday we returned from a week long vacation to the beach.  we had a great time at the beach, our son had a ball.  on our first day there our son needed us to help him swim so we went out and bought him some water wings and he was swimming all over the pool.  we caught a really cool crab but it died once we got it home.  our anniversary was beautiful and we made love like never before.  our son went next door to play with the neighbors kids and we had a candle light dinner that i cooked.  i made t-bone steak which i marinaded and shrimp sauteed with baby portobella mushrooms, steamed broccoli, and julieene potatoes which i drizzled with a sour cream/ranch sauce.  my husband loved dinner and he bought 2 bottles of wine.  lets just say that the alcohol helped loosen us up.  we really connected last night and i had a lot of trouble getting up this morning.  he bought me a rose for each year of our marriage and a beautiful card.  i love his cards  because he always adds his own words to them.  i bought him a card (added my own words) a watch, a wallet and some cologne.  on our way back from the beach we stopped and shopped so i really was not looking for a gift from him plus i stay at home everyday with our son, so he does plenty.  anyway we had a great time and he asked if we could have a night like last night once a week, and i replied "YES!"
