Birthday Update

As I posted previously my best friends made my birthday so special. I wanted to show off my great gifts and give a little recap:
It started on Sunday October 4th with a Chiefs game with Roy. We got great seats; great weather and even though they didn’t win it we still had a good time. I saw my dad got lots of good pictures.

Then Monday was my official BIRTHDAY! Jasmin came to see me for lunch and brought me one of the funniest and true cards and a large bouquet of balloons in the shape of flowers and a butterfly. I just wish I was down stairs watching her trying to get them through the revolving door. After lunch I came back to my desk and as I started to get back to work I got an announcement that I had a delivery in the lobby. "Wow really two in one day". I had a smile from ear to ear because I just knew it had to be from Tracy… she had hinted to a surprise earlier ;) I got to the lobby to find a very colorful, fresh beautiful bouquet of carnation flowers and a sweet card. I sniffed the flowers so much on the way back to my desk that I got light headed. The card said “Two friends-4days apart with love on your birthday. Tracy” so I know Tracy pretty well and I knew there was some sort of message beyond the kind words I just couldn’t figure it out. So the next day she asked if I got the connection between the flower colors and the card. I had to admit I didn’t even think it had to do with the colors I just thought she picked ones I liked. So this is what the meaning to my card and flowers.
2 yellow flowers= 2 FRIENDS, 4 pink flowers= Pink is for Oct & 4=days apart
1 red flower is Love on your day!

Shaun gave me a card and a box of MIKE & IKE's... he said he couldn't find Hot Tamales. He's such a sweetie. LOL I also received lots loving and fun phone calls and emails from other friends and family.

So as my birthday week continues I’m still slowly celebrating. Jason and Sarah took me to “The Thai Place” for lunch today; yes that’s what it's called. It is my favorite restaurant. We laughed and gorged on great food and took a little extra time to digest. I got back from lunch and my boss brought me a gift from him and his wife. It’s a great bag brought back from Korea, all hand silk and pretty. I received one from them as a gift last year in a spring pattern and this one will be a great fall winter item. Thanks to everyone who made my birthday (day and week) a great one.

NOW it’s time to get ready for “T’s” fabulous birthday. YAY!!! October 9th !!!!



The card is hilarious from Jamin. You can't really see it in the picture but she wrote on top of the ladies heads... "Me.... You.... Tracy"! We are fabulous and will be the most fabulous old ladies :)

I am glad you had a good birthday. I hope you got the phone call you were hoping for.
It made me laugh when I read you went to the thai place. I remember driving by a place called "tasty thai" with Christian several years ago. He saw the sign and laughed, then I found out he thought it said tasty thigh!
