Happy late birthday to.....ME!

Last week, I turned the big 30! It was a great and fun filled week of celebrations! My actual birthday (Friday) was wonderful. My mom took the kids that morning to let me do whatever I wanted, without kids! So, I dropped the kids at my moms, and came home and actually got a good workout in without having to stop at what seems like every 10 minutes for something. I know, it sounds pathetic, but it was what I wanted! I went and picked up the kids around lunch time, put the younger 2 down for naps and got ready for a fun filled weekend! Some of our good friends invited us up to their family's cabin up by Strawberry Reservoir! Nothing like spending time with great friends, playing games, and laughing so hard you're crying and feeling like you're going to double over! Sunday night was dinner with my family, then I got to go have a girls night of shopping and dinner at the Gateway with one of my really good friends this past week! It was a fabulous birthday and I am so blessed with so many wonderful people in my life! One of the gifts my wonderful Mother-in-law gave me was a book titled "The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt", and it is going to be my next project! It might take me a while to finish, but I am so excited to start it! It is a patchwork quilt, with 111 quilt blocks, but every single block is a different pattern! So the book just goes through each individual block in detail and with the stories that inspired the quilt block! I can't wait!
