Happy Birthday Valarie!!
Thanks everybody for the well wishes. I did enjoy my day and decided not to do the big diner thing and instead had a fun time at Dave & Busters. I kicked butt on the virtual tennis game and wasn't to bad at auto racing.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
May God continue to bless you with many, many more years to come.
Hope you had a great day!
Andrea
Happy Birthday!!!!
You're only a little younger than me - so why do you look so much younger than me??!!!!
Hope (know) it will be the best year ever!
Happy B-day! Hope it was a great one. Thank you for your wonderful blog. I read it regularly and really feel your insight and honesty will help my husband and I raise our future Ethiopian child with grace and pride.
Valerie, I can see why they thought you were from ET, and I can see why they would not allow you to tell them any thing different, OMG.....you would never have a problem over there w/this silly recommendation of no outings w/your children.
Happy Belated Birthday...didn't forget you, just wanted you to see the words "Happy Birthday" one more time!
Happy Birthday!
I hope you had a great birthday! I will be joining the 43 club tomorrow myself, and plan to celebrate it too. I don't understand peopl who don't celebrate having a birthday. It is better than not having one, right? Who wants to think their last birthday was really their last.
