Happy Birthday to Me!!

Well, despite a monkey wrench getting thrown into my plans for the day (unforeseen goings-on at work) I had a great birthday!  I had hurriedly tried to bake a vegan birthday cake for myself last night, and it was a tremendous failure which ended in tears and a garbage can full of cake.  Fortunately I'm surrounded by wonderful people that helped to make the day special in spite of cake-tragedy. First and most important is this patient SOB...


He consistently puts up with my crazy like a champ, and I love him for it. When I went into the house for my lunchbreak today, I was greeted with a very festive surprise courtesy of Blake's mom, complete with vegan cupcakes!!



And it continued into the bedroom...


After work we headed out to my mom's house where my brother, sister-in-law and nephews joined us for a vegan birthday feast!  Homemade vegan lasagna and focaccia followed by the vegan cupcakes and vegan coconut milk ice cream.  Everything was super tasty!



Plus I got a bunch of neat gifts from my parents...


And this awesome card my oldest nephew Gabe made for me!



I'm very thankful for everybody that made today a very special day indeed!  Now Blake and I have got to go get packin' for our trip to N'awlins tomorrow! Goodnight!
