Thank you SO MUCH guys!!
It was ... THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My family and friends are AMAZING. I've been spoiled ROTTEN!! Everyone in my life has made me feel so special today; my face hurts from smiling so much over the last 2 days. I was thrown TWO parties (one a surprise party), overloaded with generous gifts (including custom supplies WOOT), and plied with pizza, cake, ice cream, lobster pasta, and more... I think I gained 10 pounds. And there are still leftovers ... LOL!
