A Perfect Day

So its official I'm 30. The day started out with the usual dress and make a mess to get to church. Russ fully exposed me in front of the entire congregation. Not literally.

First, he told the story of how "we" got started. See, we hung out with a bunch of college friends in the evenings in Cleveland. Russ(PR) and I were part of that group. It was winter, but we all wanted to get in shape. So we all agreed to meet at "PR's" bachelor pad in the morning. So, at 8 am bright and chipper I show up and knock on Russ's door. The first thing he said was "You've got to be kidding." I felt like such an idiot. I started to leave with my donuts and bananas clutched in my hands. Then, he said wait. I'll run. So we ran. Just us two. He ran so fast and so long. He asked, " are you OK?" I lied, "Fine." That was our first sort of date. So from there on the rest is history. It wasn't until we were married that I told him, "You almost killed me that day and I almost threw up from running so far!"

The next thing he told the entire church was that I was going to run a triathlon. Now, I REALLY want to.....in my lifetime. So, as resolutions usually last, mine will continue until I see it through.

After church, I got to hang out with the girls-Nina, Betty, Cindy, Maryann and Donna. Happy Birthday to Betty and Cindy! the big 0's this year. I wont say what decades they are in!

Then I came home to My happy family, a homemade cake, cards, a fully decorated house complete with balloons and streamers and most importantly......MY VERY OWN VIDEO IPOD!!!! Watch out treadmill, here I come. Within minutes, Shelby downloaded 145 songs, so I could "get started" I was soo surprised.

Then....Tina came to babysit all my kids while Russ and I went to Outback for dinner. Our waitress just looked at my plate and said " I can't even finish a New York Strip steak." I had to politely come up with a quick excuse and explain to the waitress that I am a nursing mom.

After dinner i enjoyed coffee with my best friend at Starbucks. The day couldn't have ended better than with a girl's dream....a hot bubble bath. So that's my perfect day. God really is sooo Good!
