Birthday Blog!

Yesterday was my birthday! It was a good day! All of my kids wished me Happy Birthday before school! Then somehow my 3rd period class found out what day it was, and they all stood and sang "Happy Birthday" to me! Towards the end of 5th period, a group of kids entered my room, single-file, and took turns, one by one, each giving me a compliment and a hug. Jon even got down on one knee! Funny! Then they all sang to me!

my third period class!

After school, I had Open House. But between 3:30 and 4:30, I had time to go home and quickly freshen up, during which time Rusty presented me with a gift card to Bealls (the only clothing store in town!) The poor guy went to the store with every intention of picking something out all by himself, but a saleslady convinced him otherwise! Bless her! Hah!

Now I can get whatever I want! Woohoo!

Then off to Open House I went, where Darcy took it upon herself to announce that it was my birthday! All of the teachers, parents, and students in the gym sang "Happy Birthday" while a birthday cake was set on the Science Department's table!

That sneaky Laura rushed to town after school to get that cake! (along with another surprise to come later!) The flower rings we all wore that night were from the cake! hah!

My flower ring!

Other surprise from Laura!

And this was the party truck! And I can't tell you where it was parked!

Back at home, Rusty was baking me a cake and cooking supper! It was all delicious!

Steak, 'baked' potatoes, and shrimp! Rusty had already removed the corn in the husks! YUMMY!

After seeing myself holding the cake, I decided I shouldn't have any just then! Maybe a few laps around the track first! Hah! (yeah, right!)

And to end the day off, my BF/S (best friend/sister!) called! And so did Kristian! Hooray!

A great day it was!!!
