What a nice birthday!

Saturday was my birthday. I don’t usually want any sort of celebration but was happily surprised by a weekend visit by Rachel, Nathan, and Orion! They arrived Friday afternoon and stayed until Monday morning. Friday afternoon, just as the snow began, Mom brought me my birthday apple pie! Not only was it delicious but it was ready-made dessert for the weekend! Thanks Mom! She also got to see Orion and his parents and my newly painted living room. Bonus!

Saturday, for lunch, we, and Ben, went to Azul Tequila and had fantastic Mexican food. Rachel gave me a fun chunky (designer) bracelet, which I’ve worn twice already. That night, for dinner, I made a brisket seasoned with a dry rub. So good! I’ll provide the recipe if anybody wants it. We spent the evening watching the first season of “Chuck” which Dennis and I had never seen. So fun! Now I’m addicted.

Sunday for lunch we had ham, smashed potatoes, and corn. Yummy. Ben was able to join us for lunch again and visit with his sister, Nathan and Orion. We just hung out, napped, and played with Orion. For supper we got pizzas from Pizza Hut because they had any large pizza for $10 not matter how many you ordered. We got 2! In the evening we watched more “Chuck.”

The only thing missing was Andy.

Monday came too soon and they all went home. *sigh* When I got to work, two coworkers gave me gifts and hugs! What a surprise! So nice to work with great people.

I have to say this was one of my best birthdays EVER!

Sometimes the simple things are the best!
