I had an amazing birthday weekend! I'm now 35 years old. I must admit that these past couple months I've been feeling more aches and pains. Must be because I'm getting older. Lawrence surprised me with the perfect gift, a day at the spa on Saturday. I've never felt so pampered in my life. 4 1/2 hours of pure luxury.....did I mention I had the entire day to myself? Lawrence arranged for a sitter that night (thanks, Danita!) and we went out to eat at Sakura, a Japanese restaurant in St. Paul (I'd highly recommend it). We spent my actual birthday with my family. AJ helped Grandma make my birthday cake....delicious, AJ! I am truly blessed.
