I woke up and made some bread dough before going to work. Today was a mandatory teacher workday, so I went in for a couple hours just to get the credit for being there. A friend of mine from Eno took me to lunch for my B-day.
When I got home Mark had decorated the apartment with streamers, made an icebox cake from scratch, and taken out the garbage left from our cleaning spree yesterday. He is SOOOOOO wonderful.
My family sent me my favorite Girl Scout cookies (thin mints).Mark's family came over for cake, ice cream, games, and fun. I got a ton of cake decorating things, including a cake pan that lets you make a heart filling in the middle. Jenny gave me a cool book with 50 different things you can make for baby showers (which means I can mix up my burp cloths with other cute things). Mom (Mark's gandma) and Paulette came and gave me some green to spend as I wish (maybe on a cake decorating class so I can use my cake stuff better). Thank you everyone! It was nice to have everyone over for my birthday. I am so lucky to have such wonderful families!
Sunday, after church, most of the LDS families in the apartment complex got together to have a big birthday party. All 4 of the
wives were born within a month of each other and this is about the middle. Sarah, Myself, and Missy shared one cake with 25 candles (we figured that was close to the average of our ages).PS: Happy Birthday Mom, I miss you!

We had such a great time today! (It's always wonderful seeing you and Gizmo.)
Happy, happy birthday, Jill, my dear. Happy days will come to you all year. If I had one wish, then it would be, a happy, happy birthday to you from me.
You're a good Pictionary partner.
We hope you had a great birthday! Looks like a fun party!!
Looks like you guys had fun! Sad we missed out on it. Happy late birthday!! You should totally take a cake class. It's a lot of fun.. But be prepared for eating a lot of cake. I keep cutting and cutting, giving it away, and eating it... but it never seems to go anywhere!!!
Happy Late Birfday Jill! It sounds like you're on your way to ultimate baby inspired craftiness. You'll have to share your new-found knowledge.
Happy birthday! Wish you were closer so we could celebrate it with you!!
Happy birthday Jill! A couple days late...Wow you are getting SO old. Oh wait, NOT. I'm the old one...my birthday's in two days and I will be 29! AH! I was sorry to hear about that incident with the 5th grader at your school. It certainly is eye opening when it's so close to home. Thank goodness we have the gospel. If only we all had that comfort in these troubled times.
