Early Birthday

July 4, 2010 | Uncategorized

We went to my parents house this weekend and celebrated early. (My bday is the 13th) We did a lot of nothing, just hanging out talking. I did elliptical Saturday and Bobby and I ran 3 miles this morning. It was nice, and not too hot yet!
Last night we had birthday cake, it was wedding cake flavored, my favorite! (I also had a wedding cake flavored snowball yesterday!) So I thought I would just post a few pictures from the festivities. This week will be crazy, sadly, Bobby’s favorite aunt passed away this morning, exactly one week after his dad, so it is hard on the family, there will be another funeral at some point this week. Everyone has been so kind. We have gotten several cards, phone calls, and e mails in the past week and it all means a lot to us!

say cheese!

my parents put my presents in a reusable New Orleans Saints bag, haha

Look at my pretty cake! It has poured icing on it. Yum!

I definately had to light my own candles. not cool! At least they sang to me!

Now, I always, always, get a “birthday week” and I am not sure when it is starting but it must be soon! Ok going to unpack.

QOTD: Do you celebrate on one day or multiple days?

    Heather, I am so sorry about the losses you and Bobby have had this year. But I am glad that you took time out to celebrate your birthday. And guesss what – you share the day with me, and my FIL. LOL. However, I have a feeling that we are all from different decades. LOL. BTW, your consistency with running is what inspires me to keep going…!!!

    In my family we totally have birthday weeks. I make a pretty big deal out of it. Especially since my birthday is January 4th, right after Christmas, I make it a big deal. No Christimas mixed with birthdays for me! And because I’m cheesy I tend to remind everyone that my half birthday is July 4th. I like to think fireworks are all for me =) And so sorry to hear about the 2nd passing. That must be so rough! You’ll pull through

This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety can be. (Ad)

After a really stressful week with a new sitter (who wasn’t a great fit and left her alone far too long), Dolly started coping the only way she knew how — nonstop licking. What started as “normal anxious behavior” turned into a raw wound that required a vet visit, meds, and constant care.

We changed a few things in her routine, and we also added NaturVet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements into her daily support. The difference has been incredible. She’s settled, sleeping better, no more licking, and truly back to her happy, goofy self.

I’m sharing this for anyone whose dog struggles with stress, separation, or big changes. You’re not overreacting. Their anxiety is real — and it deserves real support. 🤍

You can find @naturvet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements  at select Walmart stores, and they’ve been such a gentle, helpful part of Dolly’s healing.

I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky ba I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky bags on my trips! ✈️

So I invested in the Carry-On from @hulkenbag! It’s lightweight, sleek, and glides effortlessly wherever I go. It has 4 pockets and opens from the top, so it’s very easy to grab things in flight! I’ve got room for everything I need and can fit all my devices, snacks, books, and a neck pillow seamlessly inside.

I always pair my Carry-On with the Schlep Stack because who has time to dig through a messy bag? 👜✨

Trust me, Hulken is a total game-changer!
