I started my morning bright and early when the tornado siren went off at 1:30am and the four of us spent an hour in the basement. Not a great start to the day....but luckily it got much, much better!
Lots and lots of Happy Birthday wishes from the kids at school.- Beautiful flowers from my mom and dad delivered to school.
- A colorful planter for my patio from my teacher's aide.
- An Archiver's gift card from my friends at school.
- A balloon bouquet from Becca and Ryan delivered to school.
- Packages in the mail from both of my sisters...with lots of bling, zebra stripes, and pink!!
- Cards (some with surprises in them) from my family and friends.
- Lots of birthday wishes via facebook, text messages, and email.
- A surprise get together with our basketball "family" and neighbors organized by Chris (and I was surprised!!) - lots of good food, laughing, and visiting!
- Finding out that Jacob made student council for next year!

These are great, I was wishing last week that I had a copy of the picture of you and Barb to send you and here it is. Lots of good memories. Wish we could have shared in person but glad you had such a great day and start to your 40s. Mom
Also notice a lot of "marble cakes with chocolate frosting" Did anyone make that for you this year? MOM
