One of the down sides of Scott being on the road (other than the fact that he is absent) is that he misses out on special events. I can’t remember the last time we were together on our actual anniversary date, and today is no different. It is days like this when I miss him more than usual. Thankfully a very good friend of mine, Christy, who by the way put aside volunteering obligations, house cleaning and Christmas assignments to accompany me to EPCOT. The Mouse himself had a special birthday gift waiting just for me – a $75 gift card with no expiration date - SWEET. As we walked through the park, I could not help but feel an overwhelming since of déjà vu. Just five months ago, Christy and I w

I am truly thankful for Christy making my birthday so special. Once home, I had to take off the birthday hat and put on the “Mom” one. I spent the rest of my birthday sitting in the dance studio lobby. I can’t complain though. I was still with my two wonderful children, and by 9 PM my final birthday gift arrived – Scott safely home! Special thanks to everyone who called, sent emails and facebook messages to wish me a happy one! It most definitely was!
