31 years ago today I came bouncing into this (sometimes cruel... sometimes wonderful) world. At 10:46 Atlantic time to be exact! I was born in beautiful Summerside, Prince Edward Island. I wish I was still there. Anyhow... I had a great 2 day birthday. Hubby took me out for supper last night to a little japanese restaurant. It was AWESOME! Before going out though he was cracking for me to open one of my presents. He wanted me to open the card. Well in this (perfectly fitting I might add!) card, he had attached one of my presents...
Have I told you all how much I love my husband??? He spoils me rotten and is fucking good to me. Don't know what I'd do without him I tell ya!
So today I woke up and opened the rest of my presents. My mom sent one up, so that's why I had multiples (in case you were thinking what the fuck!). My mom sent me a willowtree angel
It's called Mother and Daughter. I absolutely love willowtree angels but never had gotten one. I'm always giving them to others but never bought one myself. Not really something you buy yourself though. And hubby got me one too...
This one is called Together. I love 'em both. I guess I can stop complaining now eh! LOL The rest of my day consisted of going for breakfast (Remind me to STOP GOING TO DENNY's!), going downtown to get my nose pierced (notta chance there'll be a picture of that!) and a birthday supper at our very good friends.
Overall I had a great birthday. I adjusted to turning 31 much better than I did to 30. I had so many things I wanted to do by the time I was 30. Most importantly... having all my babies. Of course since that was one of the highest items on my list, it was a crappy birthday.
This birthday was great and I LOVE my hubby and friends to death!!
No news on the TTC front. Off to see Doc Boyscout on Friday. WooHoo!

That fear of never becoming a mother -- I hate that.
I'm glad 31 was easy for you. It sounds like you had a really happy day. My hard birthday was 28. I hated that I was on that gallop to 30 and not yet in the career I wanted and not yet a mother. Your husband seems very cool.
On a 6 Feet Under note: OH MY GOD I can't believe that Crazy George is engaged again.
