It was my birthday this week. It is sort of one of those days filled with fun, but this year it was all different. I woke up alone, which is not unusual for birthdays, but has become mostly unusual for me. Fernando had been gone forever though because of the rodeo, which I did go to one night and was impressed by, but not as impressed as I would be by a long homestand. Anyway I woke up and got a phone call inviting me for breakfast with the kids. Being invited over to my husband’s ex’s house is also new for me, but it was amazing. She is great, we talked and I got to play with the kids and get presents and all of it was amazing for me. All of it.
Then much much later that day back home and a lot of phone calls and fun from back home too, and even later still Fernando came home. Which was a better present than any I could ever want or think about wanting, but I had more from him, I am truly blessed. And I know it.
Again much much later there was sleep and I woke up early to far too much brightness, I couldn’t figure that out at all, until he told me it was snow. Snow! I have no idea whose good side I have gotten on this week but it has been amazing. Amazing! Best birthday ever. Ever!
