Birthday Adventures

Well, everyone likes to start their birthday off with a "bang" right? Actually, let me back up a little bit. Here's how I woke up on my birthday.



My awesome hubby did this the night before, while I was snoozing away in bed! This was a great way to wake up...




However, this is what happened a little bit later that morning:



Uh... yeah. I got in a bit of a fender bender on the way home from dropping the girls off at school. I wish I could say that it wasn't my fault, but that wouldn't be true! I slammed into the back of a nice, newish Camaro. When I pulled over and got out of our minivan, I looked at that nice Camaro's bumper and noticed that it really didn't look bad - a little scratched, maybe. Mine couldn't look bad, right? Then I turned around to see ours. Ouch! Trust me - I'll never take my eyes off the road for even a second ever ever again! The bad: My boys were in the back seat, and I was still in my pajamas - not ready for the day, my purse was at home with my driver's license... The good: Atleast I had on a hat, nobody got hurt, and we have insurance. It's not fun to start your birthday with a wreck and a ticket. Nope - not fun at all. The rest of my day was devoted to calling the insurance, getting an estimate, and passing on the bad news of our adventure to everyone who called to wish me a happy birthday! Atleast it could only get better, right? It did!



Jared made dinner (pork roast, potatoes and gravy, and Birthday Brownies!) And we just hung out together as a family. My mom and dad and two of my sisters and their families dropped in,
too!
