Happy Birthday to ME!
While still in Tooele, my sis-in-laws and mother-in-law took me to dinner for my birthday. We ate at Texas Roadhouse {favorite!!}
Marianne and Mekhi sent us home with a bouquet of birthday balloons, some yummy cinnamon roasted almonds and two cases of Harvey Weinhard root beer.
My parents gave me money so I could get something for our new apartment. I went to IKEA and got a 3 draw chest that I will use as a side table in my bedroom.
My mother-in-law bought me a gift and left it here when she visited a couple of weeks ago. I loved these darling little flowers that you can stick anywhere!
We had dinner in one of our favorite areas of Denver, Pearl Street. We at at the Pearl Street Grill. I had a yummy burger with grilled onions!
And I made myself this table runner!
I hope to post more on this project later this week!

A note from my mom:
"I can still remember the details of the day 36 years ago when the phone rang at Granite High School where I was working telling us that a three day old baby girl was waiting for us.
I was numb and couldn't speak for a few seconds leaving the social worker wondering if I had changed my mind.
Are you kidding????? After eight long years I was finally going to be a mother. . . a mother!! I just couldn't believe it.
I didn't know how to be a mother. And now I'm a grandmother. It's much easier being a grandma than a mother. This is life's payday for sure."

Happy birthday sweet Mel! Thank you for sharing your Mom's comments - even though my first son is only 15, I too remember the call to tell us he had been born - like it was just a year ago! The next three phone calls in the coming years are just as precious to me!
It looks like you had a wonderful birthday! Happy 36th! It only gets better - from a 47er :)
