Queen for a day

Thank you to all my family and friends for the calls, emails, texts, cards, and gifts for my birthday! Your thoughts and prayers were the icing on my cake! I am especially humbled by all your kind words and well wishes!

I was pleasantly surprised on Friday to learn that Eric had arranged a one hour massage, manicure, pedicure, and make-up application for my birthday gift! I've wanted a "make-over" for a while now, but never got around to making it happen. It means so much that Eric would coordinate the whole day for me. He even watched Lily while I was away!

On my way to the salon I felt a little emotional. I was so touched by Eric's thoughtfulness, I actually felt guilty for leaving him and Lily just so I could be pampered...but after the manicure, I was ready to be spoiled!

The afternoon turned out to be such a treat--every minute was bliss! I was so relaxed after the massage (and so confident in Eric's babysitting ability) that I even lingered in the boutique to pick a few gifts out for myself!

When I returned home, Eric had flowers and champagne waiting for me. We got ready and headed to the Power & Light district for dinner at Bristol. The meal was delicious, the service was excellent, and our time together was fantastic! After coffee and dessert we watched the snow fall and headed home to pick up our princess.

There is so much I want to say about the day and all the love I received from family and friends, but I can't seem to find the right words. Please know that this birthday was the greatest and just what I needed to help me face this new year feeling my very best!

Hugs and Kisses!
