Title: April Birthdays / Anniversaries
Post by: Bucky on April 01, 2014, 07:43:43 PM
Whoops, another new month already?? - it snuck up on me!!

To all those who celebrate a birthday or anniversary in the month of April, we'd like to celebrate the occasion with you - so, if you want, tell us the date of your celebration.   :D

Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary to our members who celebrate the occasion in April.

I'm always glad to have a celebration that involves cake and/or presents! Hopefully, someone has some dessert this month to share with us.   ;D

I got another grandchild to be born April 8th (they are inducing labor). Don't know yet if a girl or boy. She has two boys already, a girl would be nice. ;)

April 19th is my oldest grandson's birthday (born as the news was coming out about the tragic OK bombing - won't ever forget his birthday)

Roommate's birthday April 9th

April 13th my best friend's birthday

April 16th my half brother's birthday

Wow, I had no idea April was such a popular birth month

April 10th is the anniversary of the date I returned to work in 1985 against all odds after near fatal MVA

I've not been on much this last couple of weeks, but I celebrated my 57 birthday on the second. That was the same day we sold our house - what a great birthday present:)

Kathyx - Happy Belated Birthday!   ;D

You sold your house?  Congratulations!!  I hope you will now be able to put in a bid on the one place you saw recently that you really liked.

Mmmm, chocolate caterpillar cake sounds yummy!  I don't suppose there's any left to share, is there?   ;)

We had our offer on the bungalow accepted, so we are on our way (hopefully!)

The cake was delicious!

I had my last birthday of my 5th decade on April 3rd! My DH spoiled me with flowers and dahlia bulbs to plant, a lovely breakfast, and a wonderful dinner (he's a good cook).  I confess that I broke training and had wine. I'm not one of those "oh don't make a fuss" people. I say--bring it on! I love to feel special for a day.  ;D

Happy day to all the other April people!

Congrats on the anniversary today of returning to work after your accident.

Thea - Happy Belated Birthday to you!   :D

It's nice to be spoiled on a special occasion.

I always tell my DH not to buy me flowers, etc., - but, just once, I wish he would surprise me and do it anyhow.   ;)

I turn 33 April 21, oh how I looked forward to this time last year.  Now I feel like I don't have much to celebrate :/ sorry for being the buzz kill :'(

DryGuy, I am so sorry Sjogren's has overshadowed so many happy events in your life.
You and your family need to have a great dinner and do something fun for your birthday. You have so much to celebrate this birthday: your engagement, your new job, your first home.

Don't let Sjogren's ruin that for you. I know with the dry eyes and dry mouth it is impossible to not think about it, but on your birthday just manage your symptoms and move on. No lingering thoughts. A mental vacation.

Happy Birthday early, because my fog brain might not remember on the 21st :)

Take Care,
Mary

Thanks Mary,

My engagement party is tomorrow too.  I'm going to put forth my best effort to enjoy it. I not only owe it to myself but also to my fiancĂ©. She's a wonderful person and doesn't deserve to deal with all of this just as much as I don't. I wish I could just get drunk tomorrow so I could forget about SJS for a day... I've been looking forward to proposing and marrying my fiancĂ© since we met(and it's not just cuz she's a beautiful blonde hair blue eyes girl, doesn't hurt tho). She told me a couple weeks ago that the moment she met me she knew she wanted to marry me.

Have a great time, and getting slightly buzzed won't hurt :)

She sounds like a great person, you are very fortunate as is she!

It was the same for me and my husband, We were a blind date....engaged 3 mos later! We have been together 18 yrs, married 16 1/2.

Your fiance will be your best advocate, shoulder when you need it, and promising future!

Have a great weekend,
Mary

Now, there's your mistake!  ;D  Don't be embarrassed to like a little attention now and then.

DryGuy--I hope you are letting yourself enjoy your party today. A few glasses of champagne is probably the un-found cure for SS that we've all been looking for.

Dryguy, I hope you had a wonderful celebration for your engagement. Congratulations to you both, may you always be as happy as you are together today.

Amanda, congratulations on your new grandbaby. Does she have a name? We have two boys and two girls, and will acquire two more girls in the summer when our middle boy gets married. I just love them all, particularly as they don't live with us :)

Hugs
