Last week I celebrated my 26th birthday. Yuck! I would have rather not celebrated it and just let it pass by like any other day, but my love had different plans. Paul got the day off and early in the afternoon my sister, her boyfriend, my husband, Maddox, and I, made our way to Lava to go swimming. It was very nice. They have some new slides that go across the roadway which Paul and Freddi liked. It was lots of fun, but eventually the storm clouds rolled in and it started to rain. We went to the indoor pool while it finished raining and afterward made our way back outside to eat some food. After that it wasn't raining anymore but it was cloudy and cold, so we decided to make our way back home. Later that evening after everyone had cleaned up Rachael and Freddi took Paul, Maddox, and I out to eat at Red Lobster. It was very good and lots of fun. After that we took Maddox back to our house so his grandparents could watch him while Rachael, Freddi, Paul, and I went to the Angels and Demons movie. (The movie was a lot better than I thought it was going to be!) It was a wonderful birthday and I enjoyed the opportunity to just be with my family the whole day!! Thanks Paul for going out of your way to make it a wonderful day for me. I love you so much!!
