Stoned

No I didn't party too much on my birthday. When I say "stoned" I am referring to the glorious hot stone massage my hubby surprised me with yesterday! It was a lovely day, my husband and I went shopping, had lunch, and then it was off to the spa for me. When I tell you that this massage was heavenly, it's an understatement! For 60 minutes I was in such a state of relaxation I can not even explain how good it felt. I have had other massages before but the hot stone is definitely something everyone needs to try. After my massage we all went out to dinner ( my parents and Noah joined us) and to my surprise I had the best drink ever, the sangria margarita..for those who know me let's just say it's the combo of my dreams, lol.  In all seriousness it was just so nice to have a "normal" carefree birthday. Last year I was SUCH a wreck, my hubby had sent me to the same spa and I spent the entire massage worrying that my 8 week old was going to have a seizure back at home with my mother in law ( see I told you I was crazy back then!) Reflecting back is so nice to see where I was and how far we have come. I couldn't have asked for a better 28th birthday gift!

Happy belated b-day! Just catching up on my reading today, after long weekend away. Does life get much better than a hot-stone massage and margaritas in one day? Maybe not! I am glad you were able to truly enjoy. And I am glad you are also taking satisfaction in the progress you've made in a year. I had a hard time taking pleasure in things in the first year or so after Max was born. I'm still not convinced I find as much pleasure in things as I used to, but I've gotten better about that. You just reminded me, I have a gift certificate to a spa, time to get that thing out and book an appointment. Thanks again for participating in my meme! I loved seeing the shot of your kitchen. Can your husband come build us some stuff?!
