January....Never been my favorite!!

OK, so January has never been my favorite month. It's always been kind of a let down. Nothing exciting to look forward to, so sick of the snow and cold. I have always been an outdoors, sunshine kind of a girl and I gotta be honest by January I really kind of start to get a little stir crazy, as do the kids. Sydney keeps asking, "When is the sun going to shine, so I can go swimming?" I kind of feel the same way. If it were up to me I might just skip Jan and Feb altogether but that would mean skipping by birthday and this birthday was a good one:)!

Brent and I went out to dinner and a movie (that may not sound that exciting to some, but it is always so nice to get out and go have fun together and act like we are still young!!) My cute niece, Britney, volunteered to babysit, which is big seeing as she is a junior and that is probably the last thing she wants to do on a Sat. night. She is such a cute girl. She decided it would be fun to make a cake with the kids and surprise me when I got home from our date. They made me the cake and my sweet Sydney was so excited to show it to me she just couldn't get to sleep. So when I came home she snuck out of her room and told me all about how they were so excited to surprise me. It is amazing the older I get, I realize it is the sweet little things that mean so much to me. So thanks goes out to Brit and my kids for the great surprise and for making my 32nd bday one to remember!!
