I had a wonderful birthday!!!! Thanks to all of you for the awesome bday wishes via blog, FB, text, phone and in person!!! I have no idea how I am so lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life. It is truly amazing and totally awesome! THANK YOU for sharing this crazy life with me!

And to my T3 girls, THANK YOU for taking me in, with out hesitation. You have made my transition here so much easier! It usually takes years to find friends like you when you move to a new place. So I want you to know that I am thankful for you both and look forward to many more adventures!!

To my T-Town girls (and encompassing the entire PNW), ALL OF YOU-THANK YOU for being there over the past 3.5 years and even now. Thank you for supporting me and encouraging me to become the best person, mom, wife, daughter and friend I could be. Thank you for being a part of my progress. You have not wavered in your friendship. Distance may separate us but I can truly feel that I am still a part of you and your lives. I CANNOT WAIT to see you all in June!! I miss you all terribly, today, yesterday, tomorrow and every day!

And to my Bloggy Friends-You all ROCK! You may not know exactly how you have contributed to my being what I am today but you have. Your comments and unwavering support is almost overwhelming at times, in a good way. It is mind boggling to think that you take time out of your day to encourage me, support me, motivate me…read and be a part of my life. I am blessed! THANK YOU!!

Cheers to another year of training, running, riding, swimming, sweating, crying, griping, complaining, being sore and pushing myself!

I wouldn’t have it any other way!

    Happy Birthday! Glad you had a great birthday... The closer I get to 40, I always get really sentimental on birthdays and launch into big "thank you, you're wonderful, I'm so grateful" speeches to my husband. He thinks it's so odd... but I appreciate life so much more every year - and it sounds like you do too!! So LIVE IT UP GIRL!!

    Oh no you DIDN'T just get the tackiest, shiniest pair of Spankies ever made. LMAO

    You HAVE to post a picture of you wearing them, you know that right?

    HAVE to.

    YES YES YES! I hunted down the brightest most tacky spankies in all of Fayetteville for you! I had on one hand a zebra striped pair, and on the other the ones I like to refer to as "disco" spankies. Obviously the disco ones won, ha.

    I'm glad you had a fun birthday, love you to bits!

    Happy belated birthday! A birthday wouldn't be complete without some SHINY spankies! What a hoot!

    Trust me, without you and your blog I would have a lot less laughter in my life. Thanks for being and keeping it real!

    I'm glad to have you around myself (even if it's 11 or so hours away - OR a few clicks).

    It's awesome to know you found friends so quickly and feel like you fit in. That's certainly something to celebrate aside from your birthday itself.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Just remember, you have to top the half marathon next year!

    The first phase the preparation should, theoretically, be uninfluenced by the intended intensity and duration of the sound which is subsequently produced. In fact, however, so quickly are the three phases accomplished that the pianist rarely has capacity to think, in performance, of each phase separately. Toronto Party Bus Rentals
