Grateful Abundance! (and the winner!)

I write today with nothing but an abundance of love for friends and family!

Thank you to all that made my birthday one that was probably the best I have ever had!

It was multiple days of all the different ways I would want to celebrate my birthday. Either an evening at the temple, lunch at the Cheesecake Factory with shopping at Ann Taylor, a girls night watching a chick-flick (edited Notebook edition for me), at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple dedication, hanging with my best friends up at Scout Camp, dinner and a girls night out with some of the most amazing women I know, another temple dedication with cake and ice cream with my family.

I awoke Monday exhausted from the weeks events, but I wouldn't trade any of it for a little rest. Thank you to all that called, celebrated and wished me a happy birthday by word or gift.

I had no idea how many wonderful people I am surrounded by. I was actually afraid because Brian was out of town that this would be the saddest time of my life. Thank you to all that stepped up to the plate and made me feel so important.

"To have a good friend is one of the highest delights of life."

PS - Thank you to all that participated in my quiz! Because I am a girl all about attitude and effort, ALL 3 participants are winners! Thank you Mom, Ann and Kristen. Ladies, you and I have a Cheesecake Factory date! (Mom, we will probably do it next time I see you or when I come to Vegas next!)
