I am having a hard time believing I am 39!!!!! Do you realize that means I have now entered my 40th year of life. I am going to have to remind myself of that frequently so I get used to hearing the big 40. I certainly do not feel 40. Only when I can remember back 35 years or so do I realize time has really passed. Of course on a day to day basis I am in shock at how fast time does fly. For example, are we really decorating our homes for the fall holidays?!?
As you know I believe in birthdays. Even if I am getting older I still believe it is a time to celebrate. I was blessed to be completely spoiled by my family this year. I had three different birthday cakes! The day started off with a crepe breakfast with family and friends. Then mom hung out with me most of the day to do my "projects". We even went to lunch at one of my favorite places, Hot Dog on a Stick (not on Weight Watchers but hey it is my birthday).
A great way to end the day was attending the Relief Society Broadcast at our stake center. It was awesome and spirit filled. I felt like a call to be a solider in the Lord's army as I listened to Sister Beck's talk. President Uchtdorf made me laugh and realize I need to focus on the things that bring true happiness. Before the broadcast the women in our stake worked together to make 904 hygiene kits for Humanitarian aid. Mom and I got to be quality control as the bags were completed. It was a neat experience.

At the end of the evening the Barlow women gathered at my home for some YUMMY Chocolate Satin Pie from Marie Calenders.
Oh, I almost forgot to say I finally learned how to do make up "the modern way" with the powders. I had fun while Melinda pampered me at 11pm.
It was a great day!
P.S. My birthday present this year was a Nano. This is my first time owning one. I am excited to listen to talks and books on it as well as the Ensign each month. Of course, I am having fun going through all of my CDs and selecting the songs I like. Yes, I have the Nano you can shake and shuffle, Kate! It is an amazing piece of technology. Guess what color I chose?......
BLUE!
