Another Trip Around the Sun

I turned 25 yesterday!

Kerry put aside his studies and trips to Panera to spend the day with me. He and Otis woke me up bright and early with breakfast in bed...waffles and scrambled eggs.  I shared with them, and I don't think I've ever laughed harder at this dog.  We have to get it on video some time, but he has absolutely no table manners lately...we'll leave it at that ;)  AND the birthday fairy came to see me "while I snored" according to some people...and brought me a new charm for my Pandora bracelet.  Pretty original way to give me a gift, don't you think?  (It'll only start to worry me if he's wearing wings and a tutu.)

Next Kerry showed me my birthday cake he decorated all by  himself.  He drew a running shoe, Otis, a heart, and wrote all kinds of crazy sayings all over it.  Truly a masterpiece!  We saved sweets for after lunch though.  I was told to get up and get dressed because we had a date with a massage table!  We got an hour long couple's massage at Beach Massage on Thomas Drive.  Let me rephrase that...a MUCH NEEDED couple's massage.  I fell asleep during it ;)  My foot hasn't felt that good since before my run back in December!  I came home and took a nap for a bit.

Later on we continued the birthday tradition we started several years ago. No matter where we are, we try to make it to a Bonefish Grill for our birthday dinner.  No particular reason why, we just like it...so we decided to get out of PCB and drove over to Destin to eat at that one (where we actually started the tradition).  We stopped at one of the beaches along 30A on the way for a few minutes, but it was too cold to hang around.  We had a fabulous meal and came back home with the intentions of staying up until 10:58 to celebrate my turning 25, but we fell asleep...and that's ok because I was pretty tired!

All day I had to think of a song Kerry played for me earlier in the week.  Jimmy Buffett:

"Hear 'em singing Happy Birthday
Better think about the wish I made
This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake
Every day's a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
Just one more candle and a trip around the sun"
 
I hope my next trip around the sun is as wild and crazy as the last few have been.  If not, it'll just be boring :)
