Why, you ask, am I posting a picture of my living room to begin my birthday post?
I have plants! Granted, I just have four right now (two barely made the edges of the photo), but it is a start. It took us almost five years to get here, but it's finally happening. I am thrilled! By the time I wanted to buy plants a couple years ago, we knew we'd be in the States for half a year, and so it just made more sense to wait until we returned. Gregory surprised me the morning of and came home with a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a potted plant in the other! Happy Birthday to me!
For lunch, I took Nathanael and his friend/classmate out to McDs between school and football practice. That meant a birthday cupcake and coffee for me!
(Yes, they're doing their homework at McDs while eating mini cupcakes!)
We went out to dinner as a family, and true to my birthdays, I have no good photos. I even forgot to take a picture of the birthday dessert before we'd cut it up for Eva. Oh well.
Craziness at the King table
Gregory (and the kids) celebrated me well, and I was grateful for all the sweet notes from friends and family around the world! Thirty-six doesn't seem to be all that bad. Or different.
Late addition: Look at the incredible gluten-free cake my friend who works at Demel gave me!!!
