sweetest hello

hello thirties.

you welcomed me with such a wonderful, fall weekend of camping.

although i had reservations about going away for my birthday, away as in outside the realm of all communications, once we pulled on to the gravely mountain road - my heart was happy.

my husband is that of perfection; what a wonderful job he did planning.

he is the sweetest, most compassionate, caring person. i love him, completely.

the freating we do over age. it is kind of silly.

i said my prayers & thanked my dear Savior for another day, another year.

but -because i do freat. and i do put big deals on birthdays.

- this is a new beginning for me.

not one tear did i end up shedding the day of my birthday.

i really surprised myself.

i am happy to report i did not spend the day in bed with a gallon of ice cream, bottles of wine and boxes of kleenex - instead, i woke up with such a rejuvenating sense of life.

i was no longer thinking of what i had missed out on or hadn't accomplished.

or of the silly girls who had recently hurt me;

but only what i have to look forward too and the many new things that awaits.

i have so many wonderful and new exciting things coming up in the next few weeks and months.

i plan on making the most of every minute.

i am happy. i am loved. i am blessed.

happy birthday to me.

the beautiful sunrise the morning of my birthday.

a perfect morning.

our sweet home away from home.

thanks my darling for this photo op @ 6:00 in the morning,

after awaking you to build a fire -

thanks for this perfect birthday weekend.

our toasty camp fire where wonderful memories are made.

happiest birthday to me.
