On Monday I will be flying to Washington State for 3 weeks to hang out with Kym's children while she and her hubby Jim go on a Mediterranean Cruise. I'm super anxious! I'm so excited to spend time with my niece and nephews. I was able to visit with them shortly last year in Minnesota for Samantha's graduation, but now we'll really have time to spend together. While I am there I will teach Emma to read and possibly speak a second language. I will teach Davis how to drive and take him skydiving. Russell will probably be teaching me some stuff, and perhaps we will get him a concealed weapons permit or maybe a couple tattoos. Who knows, we'll see.

TAGGED!
6 Random Facts About Me!
1.) I was a speed skater when I was young. Skating was my passion, and I still skate everyday. (Well in my mind anyway)
2.) I have obsessive compulsive disorder, and certain things disturb me to the point of physical sickness and/or panic attacks.
3.) I love to eat, yet HATE to cook and find it to be gross waste of my time.
4.) I am germaphobic. I know better, and I know it's crazy, but can't stop it. Some days are better than others.
5.) I'm very shy, yet love to talk, yet hate to talk on the phone. I know it's very strange.
6.) I am fascinated with Asian babies (hope to have one one day of my own) and the Asian culture.
Okay, so now I'm supposed to tag some people. I tag everyone who reads this and will participate :)

Look who's 40
I awoke to the most beautiful roses from my wonderful husband for my 40th birthday with a sweet little tiny cake just for me.
At work, my coworkers surprised me with a yummy chocolate fudge cake and even sang to me. Wish I would've taken pics of them but I forgot :( I am 40 you know. Beside the cake at work, I couldn't begin to tell the amount of messages, voicemail, texts, emails, and phone calls I received throughout the day from all my family and friends. I was really touched by every one's thoughtfulness and well wishes.
Then my wonderful friend Stacey took me out to lunch to my very favorite restaurant in the world, "Cracker Barrel". We had a great time even though our time together was short. This is a pic of Stacey and Corbin (a little guy Stacey babysits).Next is picture of me and sweet "LilaBeth". I love this kid and best of all she love me:) I had the best birthday ever and when it was time for bed I told Darin that I didn't want to go to sleep because I didn't want my birthday to be over, so he told me tomorrow could be my birthday too, so.........................
