#27

Birthday #27 is definitely a top contender for the "Best Birthday, Ever" Award.  As many of you already know, MK and I don't really go all out for our own birthdays.  To us, it is just another day... and really, we should be thankful for each day.  Plus, we feel old.  But on Thursday, Marshall woke me up with homemade Nutella & banana crepes - soooo good.  Then NRK and I headed over to one of our favorite hangouts, Play! We got home just in time for me to grab a bite to eat before leaving for a....

wait for it...

MASSAGE.

Ahhh, I relax a little just thinking about it.  If you've never had a (good/professional) massage, and you just rolled your eyes at me...get over yourself and treat yourself.  If you live in the Seacoast area, I highly recommend Lyndi Sargent in Dover, NH. Lyndi was actually our hypnobirthing instructor! Wanna see a cute picture of NRK and MK on her website? Click here.

So needless to say, the massage was amazing, especially since I'm in the middle of training.  A sincere thank you to my hubby who set it all up.  MK is notorious for always buying super practical gifts and skimping on the fun gifts.  Not this time; I love you, dear.  Although, I could write a decent persuasive speech on massage practicality...

Thursday evening we went out to Applebee's for dinner with a close friend.  I received some lovely cards in the mail and some really sweet texts.  See, not super exciting, but to me, it was such a good day.  Wish we could have spent it with more family, but I'm thankful regardless.  Plus, I had a 4 day weekend and a quiet campus (Spring Break) to go along with my birthday!  Who can complain about that?!

In my old age, I'm really trying to savor each day with my husband, NRK, and the people around me.  I'm a horrible, judgmental, and selfish person at my worst... but with Christ, I'm a loving and loyal wife, mother, daughter, and friend.

Here's to hopefully to another year - a year full of happiness and love.  May I glorify the One who gives me life.
