It's My Birfday!

And lucky me--it's also the first day of school! Aren't you jealous? I complained to Darrell that this is the first year ever--in all my years of schooling and teaching--that I've been in school on my birthday. Of course, Darrell reminded me that he's had to work on his birthday every year since he started working after college, so apparently that means I don't have any room to complain.

And really, I suppose I don't. Because there are probably far worse ways I could be spending my birthday. Not to mention I have co-workers that are making my day pretty awesome.

I'm pretty sure the head coach is behind all this candy that the soccer girls keep bringing me... But I won't complain. I'll be stocked well enough to make it through at least the first few weeks of school.

Darrell has also made quite the effort to make sure I have a good birthday, despite spending it at school. He got up early this morning to make me a breakfast of bacon, eggs, and hash browns, plus he gave me some gifts last night...

I heart my new apron. Isn't it so super cute? And I also got some other nice baking stuff from him--and before you go and accuse him of buying me gifts that require me to "work" in order to use them, I should clarify that I wanted all of the things he got (especially a new apron) and certainly don't consider it "work" to bake. Now, if he had bought me a vacuum cleaner that would be a different story....
