Yes...I had a birthday. Everyone shout hooray! I did decide to turn 23, not 22B this year. I was considering 22b, but then everyone at work keeps telling me how I look 14, so I decided to make the move.
I'm 23 years old. After a great pre-birthday party at home, March 2nd arrived. I had the day off work, but nothing eventful planned. However, my friend Mary went grocery shopping with me (I bought extra strawberries as a birthday gift to myself), and Mary surprised me with a birthday lunch along with a "kiss me it's my birthday" badge. Totally made my day. Matt arrived home, I got to open my birthday cards, and Matt sent me on a birthday treasure hunt.
I followed the rhyming clues to find my birthday treasures - compression socks (yes...I really don't want varicose veins), tennis rackets for both Matt and me, and a coupon for a new wallet!
Now, the partying continued. You'd think I turned 50 or something. Not so. We had my favorite cabbage salad with the Hagge's on Saturday. I even got the "you are special today" plate. And then, to top it off, Nikki made some of her divine cake and invited over a few friends. It was a great excuse to celebrate.
Last, but not least, my birthday did have a theme this year....ALL Mykel, ALL the time! Yes. I am that vain. If you're my family member, you may recall receiving a notification of my upcoming birthday and theme. Well, it worked. Stacy called me on my birthday eve, just to tell me she'd spent the day making an ice sculpture of me - I'm sure it looked amazing. My mother gave me real time updates of my birth story that lasted ALL day long. Text messages, birthday cards, calls, and songs...Man...Sure felt the love! Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Happy belated bday cute girl! Sorry we didn't get a chance to join in the festivities.
ReplyDeleteYour hair is looking so long and beautiful. I am glad you had a good birthday. 23 is a pretty exciting age.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Happy Birthday Mykel.
ReplyDeleteYou are so gosh dang pretty! Gracious sister. I love seeing your pictures. Sounds like Matt made your birthday great fun. My favorite was the card with the "How old is Mykel turning in 2011?" Delightful. I vote... 16H
