Look Who's 35!!!

So I'm 35 today!

As always - I LOVE to celebrate my birthday - and today pretty much rocked! And even though I had conferences tonight - I think I made the most of the day! Here are some birthday highlights:

1. Opened cards from Mom/Dad & Jen/JP before leaving for work.
2. Birthday wishes from Roommate Vanhtha before he left for work.
3. Free Birthday Coffee from Caribou.
4. Birthday Donuts and Juice from Amy in Advisory.
5. Birthday Calls from Mom/Dad & Lonny on my "missed calls" when I got back to my office.
6. Cards, Gift Cards, E-Cards, Text Messages from friends, cousins, coworkers . . . ALL DAY!
7. Birthday cookie in morning meeting - as well as birthday song!
8. Birthday DINNER at Red Lobster with dear friends and family!
9. Birthday kisses and hugs from Alice . . . dear friends and family too!
10. Home to find Birthday emails, Blog Comments, MySpace messages, Facebook messages. (and another card - from Nancy!)

I think one reason I love to celebrate MY day so much. . is it reminds me so much of how many people really love me. Like will drive in sleety snow to have dinner with me . . .like will wake up at 6:30 to try and call me before work . . . like will think of me all day. . .

Yeah. I feel the love!

Ok - here are some pics from dinner tonight:
