Guess What Today Is

Today is my birthday!

Yesterday and today have been amazingly fun! I work with 5 men on the corporate sales team for my company - West Business Services. On Friday, Rick came back from his lunch with an ice cream cake for my birthday. He picked it up from Dairy Queen. So, we took a little break in the afternoon to enjoy some refreshing ice cream on a hot summer day. THANKS GUYS!!

Today was packed with activities. This morning my phone started ringing early. My parents called at 8:00 and sang happy birthday to me. At about 8:30 I went to hang out with my friend Nicole who was having a rummage sale. At 2:00 my friend Virginia threw me a birthday party in our big city park in downtown Appleton, WI. Lots of friends came to celebrate!

At about 6:30 tonight I met my friend Susie out at Olive Garden for a relaxing dinner. What a wonderful day!
