A Day For Me :)

I love my birthday - always have. It is the one day all about me without having to sound selfish, and you better believe I milk it for all it's worth. I threatened Greggy with all of his future happiness that he would be there Saturday, all day, without working. Well, my threats took effect. He woke up and worked early from 6:00-8:30. It was a lovely morning. Sofi and I both slept in, and cute Greggy made us breakfast. It was delish!

After Greg had made my cake, with the help of Sofi, we all got ready and spent the morning at the Zoo. It was so much fun! The animals were all active and it wasn't too cold. Perfect March birthday weather.

This little guy was the best. His tail was SOOOOOOO long! He would eat breakfast up on his perch, then climb the two stories down to get more food, fill his hands and mouth, then climb all the way back up again.

We found some peacocks.

This poor gorilla. He was sleeping there in the corner, with a blanket on, and kept pulling it over his head. 

Super unflattering picture of this lady, but we were able to see them do the physical checks on the elephants. Those animals are so smart!

We got to ride the carousel! I kept wondering whose birthday we were really celebrating. Mine or hers ...

Sofi loved the sea lions

Greg was so exhausted from actually walking around instead of being stuck in a cubicle, that he had to come home and take a nap. You better believe I got a picture. :)

 

We went to The Old Spaghetti Factory for my birthday, and it was SOOOOOOO good! (We would eat there the night before all 4 State XC Meets in high school, so it was fun to be back and reminisce the good 'ole days). Sofi ate her noodles, I ate my lasagna, and Greg at his Vesuvius(?) Spaghetti. We were all so full, that we didn't eat cake and ice cream until the next day.

I am now 26 years old. Officially closer to being 30 than 20. I find myself wondering where my 20's have gone, but I get the feeling that the older I get, the more I will wonder where time is going. I am so grateful to be able to spend it was people I love; my sweet little Sofia Lu and loving hubbers Greggy. He knows how much I love birthdays and he always makes them feel special. 1 week later, and we are still enjoying the cake he made. I will always love this day.
