Celebrating my birthday…

The past few days have flown by so fast for me. Today Ashley left to go back to Minot. Ashley arrived here Wednesday night around 8:45 PM. The time has gone by so fast while she was here but we had some fun during that time anyway. Thursday, I took her over to meet my neighbor, Gert, who is 87 and had asked to meet her when she was here. Gert is the sweetest lady and I really couldn’t say no. So we visited with her for a bit on Thursday afternoon. After dinner Thursday, I worked on Ashley’s taxes for her while she did a load of laundry. Then on Friday I went to a health fair event with a friend and afterwards, Ashley, Sydney and I went and bought doughnuts. After lunch on Friday, we took Sydney to preschool and then I treated Ashley to a hair trim and then we went shopping, and just had so much fun! I received flowers on Friday from my brother Kevin and his family and also from Ashley. Both were very beautiful. Ashley gave me lilies and Kevin gave me a mixed bouquet. I also received a wonderful card from my friend Stacia and a very nice card from my parents (with a money gift in it). Then on Saturday, my friend Nila and her husband Steve came over and we ordered pizza and watched movies. They also gave me a wonderful card. We also had cake while they were here. My hubby gave me a very beautiful card and tells me he intends to give me my present after we get our tax refund next week. So I will have to wait and see I guess… Anyway, my birthday turned out to be a very nice weekend (including the weather which was exceptionally nice and sunny) except when Ashley left to go home to Minot today. Then I was feeling all the love in my heart for her and the tears in my eyes when she left… I can’t wait to see her again soon!
