It is amazing that the older you get the more your birthdays seem just like another day. However this year was unlike any other, because I had my precious daughter join us this year. The week started off fun, because Barry started surprising me with things like my favorite ice cream appeared in the freezer, a spontaneous lunch delivery and of course flowers. The lunch delivery was quiet something, it was the biggest burger I have ever seen, better yet it had a “cheese skirt” that was almost as big as the burger. It came from “Squeeze In” a little burger restaurant here in Roseville. We have both heard a great deal about the place, but never actually ate there, so Barry decided to give it a try and indeed it was a very good burger (you can find a picture below). Later that day, my family joined us for desert and we had a lovely time talking and laughing. I got showered with greatest gifts where I felt very spoiled and loved. My birthday did not end there, I also got my wishes come true on the weekend. I wanted to be at my parent’s house and lie in the hammock in their back yard, I absolutely love it there. I also wished to go on a nice long bike ride, but it was way too windy that day so I decided to do my first long run since delivering Bella. The biggest wish was to spend a relaxing day with my family and that is exactly what I did. My parents went above and beyond as always with preparation of food and of course mamusya made the best cake, thank you sonechko! I truly felt spoiled!
The funny things is I never even imagined I would live this long, we read the Word and always wonder about “the day” and I thought it would come way before my age, I didn’t’ even think I’d reach my twenties, but God has a different plan and He has blessed me abundantly. I am grateful for every year of my life, for the best and most dear family one can ask for, the greatest husband and the absolute best daughter in the world. Thank you precious Lord for gifting me with all that I have but most of all salvation.
