Soundtrack To My Day

I had this record waiting for me in the kitchen this morning from Jay:)  He is taking me to Pensacola for my birthday, and I couldn't be more excited.  We have dinner reservations at our favorite place, Global Grill, at 8, and Sally, Jason & Janie will be joining.  Then we will be spending the weekend at a hotel on Pensacola Beach.  Solon already has his goggles and boogie board packed! 

Every year on my birthday, my mom would call and start the conversation by singing me happy birthday and then re-telling me the story of the day I was born.  I can hear her now.  I was due in early September, so my mom was going to take off a bit of time from work before I arrived.  So her last day of work was on like a Wednesday, and sure enough she went into labor that next day..two weeks early. I totally bummed out her nice relaxing break:)  I was born at 4:45 pm, and my mom always said she just couldn't believe it had been XX many years because it just felt like she had me yesterday.

I am going to miss that phone call today from Momma.  But I have had a lot of my super wonderful family call me this morning and serenade me..Nanna, Aunt Mary and Uncle Bobby and Silly and Janie-Belle!  Ann showed up this morning to give me a birthday hug! And I have had so many friends send me best wishes.

Paul Mcartney said the best song ever written was "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys.  I am listening to it now...and packing.  Thank you everyone for making my morning feel special.
