On this date last year 8/18/2007

I went out to dinner with my parents and husband and was distraught over not being able to have a celebratory birthday drink. I also couldn't eat most of my food (2nd trimester weirdness) and had to bring it home where I'm sure Matt ate most of the leftovers.
Fast forward a year later and the sacrifice of that drink resulted in one of the most joyful experiences I have ever had.

I know you can't read this yet but I wanted to say it anyway: I love you, Miles. I look into your eyes and see myself. We can't be in the same room together without smiling at the other. Thank you so much for being a part of my life. My birthday will always have a new, special meaning because without this day you would not be here.
Today I do not celebrate myself, I celebrate you.
"You make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Where ever you go"

I GOT A JOB!!!

Of course, at the celebratory dinner we took the obligatory pic of the baby with a beer.
For once in a very, very long time two companies were competing over me. First, the option to have my old job back and secondly, the opportunity to get 50% off the cutest clothes for both Miles AND myself. Being me, I of course, took the job that gives me the virtually free clothes.

I went in this morning to fill out the paperwork and watch some corny training DVDs. I go in Saturday to learn how to handle the flow of customers and start a "real" schedule next week. It feels soooo nice to be back in the work force amongst other grown-ups and making real money again. I hope I do a really great job and impress the hell out of my new employers. Wish me luck, everyone!!
