26 Years Ago...

Today is my big 2-6 b-day. And as an added birthday bonus, today is my normal Friday off from work. My mom is in the air somewhere on her way to see me for the weekend. After I pick her up, it is off to get pedicures. How lucky am I?

Grant gave me some wonderful birthday gifts. He bought me ski pants, a subscription to the Economist magazine (one of my favorites), and my very own Wee Little Barfly. Barfly you might ask? He is a small fly figurine drinking buddy that you take with you so you never drink alone. Since Grant will have a very hard schedule this spring, he wanted to make sure I never have a drink by myself. What a thoughtful hubby. There is a picture of it below if you are still lost.

I thought a few baby pictures were in order for this post. Below is the first picture of me after I was born. I had a full head of black hair!
Here I am showing off my dimples. Man those have come in handy when wanting to get my way!
Next is me looking a little drunk off of breast milk. Look at that loving smile from my mom!This is me a few months later with my dad. Me and my beautiful mom.
Too much partying.
I am a girl who knows what she wants!

The doorbell just rang and it was a florist delivering flowers from Reppy! They are beautiful. They came in a classy red glass vase and brightened up my day. Thanks Rep! I also just opened up a stunning scarf from Allison. I have received all sorts of birthday cards, texts, e-mails, facebook messages, and calls. I feel so loved, and my b-day isn't even half way over!
