How I Celebrate 50!





My birthday week started out great with our WABC family surprising me with balloons, cake and gifts (more on that later in a Birthday gift post).



Monday (the actual day of my birthday) Marc and I went with some friends to The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate the big day!





Marc and I drove to the Eastern Shore to get of all things a slush and some organic bacon. It had been a while since I traveled across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge so we turned the ride into and opportunity to just hang out and talk.

Marc works over on the Eastern Shore from time to time and while over there one day he had a client tell him about the Organic Market and about the best place in town to get a Slush! Leave it to him to turn that into a birthday trip. Its funny because the ride took us back to our military days when we would catch a hop from Germany and would have to drive to Delaware mid vacation to put our name on the list for the return trip home. Man does that seem like a long time ago now that I am 50! At the time we were in our mid 20's! 



My beautiful cards from family and friends!

Tuesday a friend treated me to breakfast at IHop!


Wednesday I had lunch with my cousin Michelle at Applebee's. 


Then Friday we had a late lunch with my aunt and uncle.


That evening Marc and I attended Good Friday service at Grove Baptist Church to hear three of the young preachers we knew speak on the 7 last sayings. We so seldom get to sit in service together that it was a great treat to the end of my birthday week! LOL Everyone kept asking me if I was planing a big 50's bash, Originally I thought about doing  that but in the end I just wanted to be able to spend the occasion relaxing, hanging out with friends and eating at some of my favorite spots! And that is exactly what I did!
