My 29th Birthday.

Last birthday of my twenties. Whew! Kind of scary.

I had a great birthday weekend. My mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I told her a day out with friends and a night of uninterrupted sleep! That’s exactly what I got! Mom came to town and watched Drew all day last Saturday so that Sam and I could go tail gate with friends before the 1st Razorback game of the 2008 season. We spent the day tail gating at Chris & Jill’s spot and then went to Lyndsy’s house when the game started (Sam went to the game with Chris E.). At Lyndsy’s house, we celebrated my birthday with pizza and cake. Yummy. I have great friends who always make a big deal about my birthday. I love them. Sam and I started to get tired around 9:00 pm (yeah I know we are lame these days), so we headed back to the house. Mom was still up with Drew, but about to put him down for the night in her room. We went to bed childless and got an entire 11 hours of uninterrupted incredible sleep! I have never been so thankful for such a great night of sleep – I just don’t think you can know until you have a newborn baby!!!! The next day – Sunday – me, Mom, and Drew went shopping around town. I found a few new shirts for work and LOTS of stuff for Drew. Sam’s parents and Suz stopped by the house on Sunday to see Drew and give me my birthday presents. I pretty much just got money for my birthday (definitely not complaining!!) – I’m going to do some very needed shopping sometime soon!!!!! I’ve missed being able to shop for REGULAR clothes!

I didn’t take my camera to Lyndsy’s house so don’t have any pictures of my birthday celebration right now….when I get them from the girls I will post. But here’s a picture of me and Drew though on my birthday (Sunday, August 31st)! Drew is 7-weeks old here.

Thanks to everyone for a great birthday weekend! And thanks mom for the night of sleep!!!!!
