Day 5: 25 years young!

\\I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful support system of friends and family! I felt extra special today, I had so many friends and family call, text, email, facebook a happy birthday message to me. I love you all.
It was a great day from start to finish! Todd gave me my amazing presents last night. I couldn't want any longer and I "accidentally" looked in the back seat of his car the other day and noticed a bag, unwrapped of course, from Dicks.He gave me a lot of "coaching" clothes, basically athletic wear but its all purple and gold. I love my Eagles!!!
In the morning, my amazing coworkers wished me a happy birthday and so did the kids too! My homeroom students even sang happy birthday! I was pretty surprised because teenagers are sometimes "too cool" to do that kind of stuff. None of the students guessed my age older than what I really am.
The best part of the school day was when my teacher's aid came walking in  3 minutes late ( I was annoyed and was going to mark him tardy) however, he was carrying a homemade birthday cake from my mom with candles!!! It was so cute! I have the best mama!

I already took out the candles! It was delicious!

When I went back up to my classroom, my students tagged my board. I felt "loved. "

My parents, Todd and I always go somewhere to dinner to celebrate my birthday. This year we chose Olive Garden, when I say we, I meant me. This is MY favorite restaurant!!! I was so stoked they would even go there because my mom really doesn't care for Olive Garden.

My parents even got me a present.....






oh yeah!!! My parents got me an Ipad! I couldn't believe they bought it for me! To be fair, I didn't get a  Christmas present, because I didn't even know what I wanted. So this was my Christmas/birthday present.

Love you Mom and Dad...and Todd...and Lou!
