Yesterday was my 31st birthday. It fell on a Saturday this year, so I got what I really wanted: a day to relax and rest. It started with breakfast-in-bed made by my sweet husband, it included time read, rest, and talk to family via video chat, and it finished with a delicious dinner at Chili’s and fun at the mall. Mixed in there were some other special moments, and of course, I tried to capture most of the day in photos.
