As most of you know, my family is very important to me. I spent the day with them and as I said before, it was just about perfect. The only thing was that Andy wasn't here. But he did call a few times. In addition to someone missing was Nina. I also talked to her several times as well. Not to mention all the emails and phone calls from my friends wishing me a happy birthday. Awww...the love!
The first thing I did was go to Xavier's (my godson) football game. Many would say it was perfect football weather, I on the other hand just thought it was freakin' cold.
They play on the high school football field, which is new this year.
I took this picture of the score and this guy Chris who was with Xavier's grandparents said "you took that picture but what if the other team wins".
No kidding! On the next play which was the punt return (I think that's what it's called) the other team got the ball and ran to get a touch down. He totally jinxed them!
Right after the game my parents and I headed to Topeka. We ate at Oliver Garden and I had the most yummiest drink. I gotta find out how to make it. We then went shopping and spent way too much money. But who cares, it was my birthday and we had a great time.
Forty-five minutes after getting home we headed to a birthday party. I share my birthday with Ava who is Xavier's little sister. I consider them all (Xavier, Alex, and Ava) all my godchildren even though Xavier is the only one i baptized. They are my extended family for sure! I adore them so much. David had a fun time playing with all the kids too.
Here are the birthday ladies.
So all in all it was a great birthday surrounded by my family. I felt very loved. I remember back in the day how my birthday would involve a lot of friends and a trip to bars. Wow, times have changed! Being away from my family for the whole summer has certainly made me appreciate them more. In the end of the day, I really enjoy their company. I feel lucky to have their support and love.
