My Birthday

My birthday was on a Fast Sunday this year - and also on the Super Bowl. I read scriptures in the morning and had some special spiritual feelings before and during church. I bore my testimony in Sacrament meeting. The spirit was with me. It was really special.

When I came home, my ice cream cake that was sitting on the back porch was melting. William was sure it would stay frozen there. I quickly put it in the freezer (where William said there was no room for it).

I then had time to myself since William was on High Council duty in our Stake. I really like time to myself, but it was a little longer than I wanted.

In the evening, William made me eggs benedict for dinner. He had wanted to make them for breakfast, but it was Fast Sunday. Anyway, they were delicious, but I could tell they were very high in calories and fat! He had tasted them in Las Vegas and wanted to duplicate them. He put banana peppers in them which really gave them a nice flavor.

Later that night, our children all called on ichat from a Super Bowl party at Melissa's. They sang Happy Birthday to me and it was fun to see them. I really wished they could have helped me celebrate my birthday and helped eat the ice cream cake (which didn't taste that great - I think because it melted and then was frozen again).

For my birthday, I told William I wanted a jewelry organizer. I have a small one, but I had seen a particular one about a year ago while looking on the internet for solutions to organizing my jewelry. It arrived on Valentine's Day and I LOVE IT! It even has a mirror in front!

I had some nice wishes for my birthday on Facebook and emails. William's parent's called. My parents were in Mexico, but my father sent me a lovely email. I got some sweet gifts and cards from friends and my sister including a silk floral arrangement, a necklace and earrings set, a video, and lotion.

I'm another year older and hopefully another year wiser. I'm looking forward to a terrific year!
