45th Birthday

I had a great birthday this year despite the fact that it was number 45 — eek! I got in an early workout with Trent where he tortured me with 45 reps of a whole lotta painful stuff.

Here’s a closeup so I can be reminded of exactly what it was.

My workout ran a little long (it takes a while to do all of those things 45 times!) and by the time I got home Bruce had taken the boys to school. But they’d left me notes all over. First, the kitchen chalkboard.

And Ezra’s present.

(It’s a coupon book for things like massages and a car wash. Finn gave me something similar — with unlimited hugs and massages! — the night before.)

Finn’s note was on the other chalkboard. He started big but then finished small as he was worried it wouldn’t fit. Bruce helped make the block letters.

Later in the afternoon I got these beautiful flowers!

And I picked up some cupcakes for a pre-dinner celebration with the boys.

Since Cari and I share a birthday, we thought it appropriate to share a birthday dinner as well, so we went to Racion with our better halves. It was a lovely evening and a fabulous day!
