It's My Birthday!

It's here! My favorite day of the entire year is finally, FINALLY here! Eek - I LOVE LOVE LOVE my birthday! I mean, I'm like a freakin' little kid about it. I just LOVE it! Anyone who had any concern about Ava not getting a proper birthday celebration because her birthday is between the Christmas and New Year holidays can erase that worry from their minds because, around these parts, birthdays are WAY awesome!

I would be lying if I wasn't holding out extreme a wee bit of hope that David was going to propose today. I've only been humming Single Ladies around the house all week...

...oh well, a girl can hope. Don't worry - if he does, you'll all know before the day is out. Don't hold your breath though.

Today is going to be awesome. We have plans to go join some of our single, childless friends at a Memorial Day pool party at an apartment complex (hello two years ago!), and I'm very excited to see all of them! It'll be nice to hang out with old friends while having some beers and BBQ, AND it'll be Ava's first time in the big pool! So excited. Don't worry - once mommy has so much as a taste of booze, there'll be no more pool time with little A. Water is such an amazing thing to explore, but it can easily turn deadly. Please please please never look away even for a second. When I worked with foster children, we had a little girl nearly drown while the foster parent changed her little brother's diaper. You'd think you wouldn't need to emphasize these things, but sometimes people just need a reminder :)

Have a fantastic Sunday everyone!
