I don’t like birthdays – let me specify – I don’t like MY birthday!<\/p>\n

I have never understood the “big deal” about birthdays – it is just another day.<\/p>\n

Why do we get presents on our birthdays – shouldn’t our parents be getting the gift – especially mom?<\/p>\n

I married into a birthday family – they LOVE birthdays!<\/p>\n

I thought I would chronicle my past few birthdays …<\/p>\n

2005 – my 24th birthday – I was working as an Aide at Phoenix with Jared’s cousin Alyssa and she pulled off QUITE the surprise!<\/p>\n

She arranged for a cheesecake and Jared and his mom to come down over lunch to surprise me – pretty sure I cried but can’t remember why!<\/p>\n

Then she took me for a surprise trip – I thought it was to get something pierced. It wasn’t.<\/p>\n

We went to Old Navy – I think – and she bought me a few cute tops then to the Olive Garden where my parents, Jared, Jared’s parents, Cody (I think), Alyssa’s parents, and Sassy & Andy were waiting for us!<\/p>\n

I hope I didn’t leave anyone out that was there – Jared’s parents got me the long lens that I had wanted to badly – it was one of the best birthdays ever!<\/p>\n

2006 – my 25th birthday – I had started with my jaw pain in March and felt like absolute poo all the time – I am pretty sure we were supposed to do something on my birthday but I didn’t feel well at all.<\/p>\n

\"3d\"<\/p>\n

I don’t have any pictures from 2007 and can’t even tell you what happened that year – I have no idea!<\/p>\n

2008 – my 27th birthday – we had a meal with Jared’s parents …<\/p>\n

\"4s\"<\/p>\n

Still feeling like absolute poo from my jaw – especially this time of year!<\/p>\n

\"5f\"<\/p>\n

2009 – my 28th birthday – oh goodness!<\/p>\n

This birthday is hard – I wanted to be pregnant on my 28th birthday so badly – my mom had me when she was 18 – I feel 10 years behind!<\/p>\n

But seriously – it’s been a sad birthday since I wanted to be pregnant today.<\/p>\n

This morning I did dishes and cut open my finger on my Captain Kirk glass and subsequently had to cancel my manicure – BOO!<\/p>\n

I ran some errands and watched Indiana Jones – the newest one – ‘cus it is amazingly cheesetastic!<\/p>\n

We went to dinner at the Chinese place tonight and saw Night at the Museum – and it has turned out to be an okay day!<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes!<\/p>\n

Yesterday we had lunch with Jared’s parents and a little cake …<\/p>\n

I still feel a little crappy this time of year with my arthritis in my jaw – but 100 times better than the past few birthdays!<\/p>\n

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE WISHES – I LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
