Man, oh man, was it a special birthday or what?  It all started with my brother sending me a WHOLE CASE of Twin Bing candy bars, straight from the Palmer Candy Company in Sioux City, IA.  One bite and I am 10 years old, and home......



Thursday I was kidnapped by my 3 friends and taken to the island of Kauai for 2 days of celebrating.  It was a total surprise.  All I was told was to pack an overnight bag.  It was an amazing trip!  Room with an ocean view, amazing food, shopping, late night swim, exploring, and the very best part - hours and hours at a rustic, outdoor spa with everything heavenly from a salt scrub to an hour of lomi lomi massage.  It was absolutely, pure pleasure!  I have the best friends in the universe!

The next day was my actual birthday.  It was Quincie's first Cross Country meet that morning.  It was really cool to watch her run, and so exciting when she came in in the top 20!  Way to go Q!  You are my hero!

When we got home it was off to my next surprise.  I was told to wear a bathing suit and be prepared to get wet.  The car finally stopped at Xtreme Parasail!!  Dang was that fun!  It was so awesome to just be out in Pearl Harbor zipping around in a boat, but then to be flying along ABOVE and behind the boat - WOW!  The view was breathtaking, and absolutely wonderful!  I have the best family in the Universe!

A few hours later, Carl whipped up one of his world famous lasagna dinners.  It was delicious, and the company was great!

I couldn't have imagined a better birthday!  I feel truly loved!  I have the best family and friends in the Universe!
