June 13th

So, before you were born, like...years and years and years before you were born, I wasn't very good to my body.  Today marks my being good to my body for 10 years...and so we celebrated ALLLLL day long.  :)

We started off by going to Linvilla Orchards, checking out the barn animals and then playing in their awesome playground before going cherry picking.  You, Sir, do not remember how much you love cherries...which is a sin, Man.  So, you didn't have all that much fun, but we did meet some cool people while we were on the tractor ride back to the car, and they inspired us to go to Elmwood Zoo to go and feed the giraffes!  You've been all about animals lately.  You beg for barns every day, so...hey...why not, right?

We didn't get to feed the giraffes (because apparently these giraffes only like to be fed from jeeps.  I bet that could have been planned better...) but we did get to feed birds!  Bella, Gi-Gi and you all fed the birds after watching me not get hurt when I fed them.  (I sure did get freaked out though!  I thought you were going to be terrified, but you seemed to enjoy them!)

We left the zoo, and headed out to Grandmom and Grandmapa's house where we were going to have dinner.  What I didn't know was that we and a whole bunch of other people were going to have dinner! Happy ten year's of eating to me!  You had so much fun with so many of my favorite people and I realized, yet again, how lucky I am to have the people that I have and that you love them just as much as I do.  

Truly, Sir, you are the best gift and the best inspiration to have gotten myself in order.  You were why I worked so hard on myself, 7 years before you existed...Thank you for your constant reminders of how good I can be, and how good life can be.  I absolutely adore you.
