Great Moments this Year

I have had a great birthday.  Cora is off for finals. We did some grocery shopping and ordered doors. Then we went to lunch together.  Earl's chicken tender with house salad and their home made ranch is my favorite.  Dave doesn't like Earl's so we never go.  I decided today was my birthday so we were going to go.  It was delicious.  Dave has high council tonight, but the girls made him dinner as I was picking up Blake and we are going to watch a movie.  I have had many birthday wishes from family and friends.  It's been lovely.  I couldn't decide what my list should be this year.  This morning when my mom called and I was talking to her, she suggested this idea.  I thought it was perfect. So.....
