Not Your Typical Birthday

Wednesday, Jan 25, I turned 28 again. It began like most wednesdays, waking at 5:3OAM to teach my early morning sculpt class. They are an awesome, energetic class and I got to make my announcement that I would proclaim over and over again that day... It's my birthday! I'm the queen of the day! All bow to me! Well, it wasn't exactly like that, but I certainly felt that way. It was the beginning of a great day!

Once class was over, I made my way home, got myself together, and headed for work. I wondered what the day would hold, a decorated desk and a home made cake from Chalene? Yum Yum... As I was approaching work, I glanced at my phone an noticed I had missed a call. Bret (my boss) had left a message for me to come to work in workout wear because Chalene (his wife, my other boss) was going to preview Round 27 for us in the office. She wanted feedback on some of the choreography. Wheeee! This would be super, duper, keeno funo! As I made my way into the office and to my desk, I was surprised, there was no decorated desk awaiting me.. but something much better! A decorated coffee tumbler with a photo from our office holiday brunch and to top it off a gift card to Starbucks! Can you say.. like totally awesome?

Bret and Chalene arrived in the office and called everyone into their office. Oblivious, I thought there was going to be some big business announcement. Gullible is my middle name. Anyhoo. Chalene says... since it was my birthday, the entire office would get to go down to Laguna Beach and run the "thousand steps". Right on! So cool! To top it off... we got lunch too! I think I left my lungs on one of the steps. But, it was so worth it. The beach was beautiful and it was the perfect day! Who could ask for anything more. After all. I had two more classes that night to announce... It's my birthday and I'm queen of the day!
