As some of you may have guessed yesterday was a very special but sad day for me. The family tried really hard not to relate putting down Riley with my birthday but it isn't something you can just ignore. Riley was put down early yesterday morning. I said many prayers to God asking for Riley to be healthy, happy and loved in heaven. My sister hasn't said much about how she feels, I have just made sure to be there for support when she needs me.
On a happier note, yesterday was also Rosie's 1/2 birthday, she turned 18 months old!!! What a doll. We all went out for dinner last night and she choose the seat right next to me. She is so adorable and it is indescribable the feeling I get when she looks over at me smiles and throws out her arms for a hug and a kiss. Rosie gave me lots of hugs and kisses yesterday and even shared her "apple" with me (it was actually watermelon but she calls all fruit apple).
I got spoiled this year! My grandparents bought us (Derek's birthday was last week) 2 area rugs from Pottery Barn. I have been wanting these forever but couldn't fork out all the money for them so that was really awesome. My parents got us a dinning room table and chairs. And My sister, Rosie (and the BIL) got me a day at the spa package, actually 2 since what fun would it be without my best friend (my sister) there with me. The package includes a message, facial, manicure, pedicure, conditioning treatment, blow-dry style, make-up, catered lunch and merchandise gift certificate!! I cannot wait!
I had plans to take Rosie to Sesame Street Live tonight for our birthdays but since everything happened with Riley they will be going out of town for the weekend. The BIL needed a vacation. I won't get started on that because I just don't eve care right now.
I did get to the gym last night, 50 minutes on the treadmill. My ass and legs were killing me from the hills the day before so I took it easy. Tonight I will focus on arms and shoulders. I did dip into flex points last night so hopefully I will still see some loss this week. I will watch myself carefully this weekend.
Last, but not least....Thank you EVERYONE for all your support and birthday wishes. I cannot tell you how much it means to me. Growing up my birthday was always "at a bad time" for my family. To this day I still feel like it is inconvenient for everyone so it means a lot to have you all take the time to say "happy birthday"!!!
