Birthday

On Friday I turned 36. I am not sure how that happened. It is not that I feel old or embarrassed about my age, what surprises me is I feel like I turned 30 last year. The song Time Warp keeps coming to mind about age.
To Celebrate I organized what we have been referring to as my Birthday Extravaganza. Scrapbook Expo was in Anaheim at the Convention Center so we spent Friday and Saturday there. Oh it was so much fun. I completed 25 traditional Scrapbook pages. Did a little shopping and had lots of giggles. Sunday we went to church and I was able to see a childhood friend. (Please don't judge the Sunday activities. We had to eat and this was very out of character for us) Then we hung out at the hotel for a while. We walked around DownTown Disney and then enjoyed the huge fireplace at the Grand Californian. For dinner we went to the Story Teller Cafe at the Grand Californian Hotel. Dinner was sooooo good. It is now my goal to replicate the eggplant that was served with my fish. Monday we went to the Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa in Corona. I still feel a little loopy and overelaxed from all of this. Monday after the spa we went to Don Jose for dinner with my parents before driving home. The spa and Don Jose in the same day. It doesn't get much better than that. It really was a perfect weekend. I am so glad we were able to pull it off. I am so thankful to my friends who covered my financial shortcomings so we were able to do all it. I will hopefully have pictures to post soon. I did not take one picture myself which is very much out of character.  Thank you ladies for joining me.

To top off all of this I just found out I won the Jay Kordich Power Grind Pro Jucier from the Green Smoothie Challenge hosted by Maria Rippo Health and Body Transformation 
I have been planning a post about Maria and how amazing she is but there is so much to say that it will take me a bit of time. She is wonderful. Check out her site. I am so excited to get my new juicer.

Hopefully this relaxed wonderful place I am in right now will get me through the next two weeks. Eric has 2 flyback interviews and a trip to England. I will be a single mom for half of the next 3 weeks. I think I will survive. I have decided to assume he is getting a job this year because the alternative is to hard to consider. I am being my own worst enemy and being hopeful.

It has been a wonderful week and I hope so much that in the next couple of weeks we will have more to celebrate. I have been dreaming about how to announce Eric got a job for so long I just hope I will actually get to announce something this year.

I am so thankful to all who wished me well, took care of my kids, went with me, and for my husband who has been extremely stressed out and overworked and still made it possible for me to have my Birthday Extravaganza. If we do end up moving I know that this trip will mean so much to me in the future.
