Last month was my birthday - and it was such an awesome day! Actually, it lasted more than just one day!
The day of my birthday, I went and had a birthday lunch with my favorite birthday buddy, Cathleen Grimm. We did a bit of shopping, got lunch, and just visited. I always enjoy days with Cathleen. By the time I got home, I had messages and voice mails from family and friends wishing me a happy birthday.
I skipped out on mutual that evening, and instead Gabe and I went to a free concert in Forest Park. The St. Louis Symphony was performing on the hill in front of the art museum. I couldn't believe how lucky I was that they were holding their free concert ON my birthday. I'd wanted to attend a concert since moving up to St. Louis, but could never justify the cost. The concert was so much fun. We packed a picnic dinner and sat on a blanket on the ground. They played classical music from a variety of composers, and had some more recent ones thrown in as well. They ended the concert with some of John Phillips Sousa and then fireworks over the pond.
The entire day just felt absolutely perfect and I enjoyed every minute of it.
