So I have tried twice now to get this up for you all to read. This is attempt number 3 so I hope you enjoy! Just so you know, the first one was the best but I lost it so this is just a thrown together version of the first one. So here it goes.
Well the day has passed - my birthday. Every year when it comes I don't know what to expect. For some reason I tend to wake up gloomy and face the whole day negatively - focusing more on the fact that I'm another year older and reminding myself how much I wanted to have accomplished by this day and haven't.
This year, however, has been different. It has been amazing and wonderful and I've never felt so special in my life. I have so many friends that have went out of their way to make sure I know they're thinking of me. All the little priceless things that people did Tuesday caused me to have a perma-grin on my face. And not just any grin - this big, dorky, grin that is hurt my face. I fought back happy tears a few times too... I wish so much that everyone could know just how much their actions have meant to me. Little things like a huge spongebob squarepants balloon (it's so big it can't really be counted as a little thing lol) on my chair (as you can see from the other picture there), randomized sticky notes in the plans I was working on that spell out 'Happy Birthday', cards and greetings by people whom I don't even know how they know about my birthday, but am so glad they do from their wishes of happiness. And of course, everything that Chad had done to make the day truly stand out in my mind. His undying patience with my growing moodiness as it approached would've been enough, but he was sure to greet me first thing in the morning with pretty pink tulips and a perfect princess present. (I am keeping that present a bit of a surprise since I want to show it off before saying anything about it). Then after work we went out for supper at this beautiful restaurant with incredibly great food (Newport Grill - it overlooks Lake Bonavista). Everything about it was perfect - the setting near the fireplace that still overlooked the lake, the servers that were sure to always be there whenever needed, the food that caused us to both pause at every bite to savour the flavour, and of course my company. I can't help but smile remembering our 2.5 hour long supper. Yup... it was THAT good. And then last night the spoiling continued as he took me to Curious George. It was sooo cute!! AND we had the ENTIRE theatre to ourselves. I couldn't have asked for more.
So in closing, I want to thank everyone for everything. I think next year I will just be excited for my birthday knowing that I have so many wonderful people in my life to make the day everything that it should be.

I think birthdays seem to be much better when you get excited before the date. If I try not to get excited...it's usually a boring day. This year I got pumped and told everyone I was around about it. It was one of the best birthdays I've had. Everything just worked out. I'm glad you had a super day too. Way to go Chad.
