Glen Ivy- Happy Birthday to Me!

I have the most thoughtful, considerate husband. I really am lucky. He has always done good on my birthdays, way more then I expect. I wasn't looking forward to my birthday this year for 3 reasons 1.) It's on a Sunday- which means church and hang out at home 2.) Disneyland - everyone else gets a $70 gift card but because I'm blocked this day, won't happen 3.) James would be in Seattle for another business trip. He told me the beginning this week not to have anything planned on Saturday. He later told me my sister Jessica and her husband, Keven were watching Jocelynn. I was excited. Friday he told me he scheduled a day for me at Glen Ivy. I haven't been there and have wanted to go. I have gotten a total of 5 massages and 1 facial my whole life. I have to admit, it's my favorite thing in the whole world. It's so relaxing. He scheduled a 50 minute Swedish massage, 50 minute manicure and 80 minute pedicure. Would I ever get that for myself? No but he did and I was super excited.

I got there at 9:30am (first appointment at 10am) and I couldn't believe there was a line. This was supposed to be relaxing. There is nothing relaxing about staying in line. I went straight to get my Swedish massage, another line and chaos. What? The massage was incredible. I did not enjoy someone in the room next to me talking so loud. I just want to crack up when it is over and the therapist asks how you're doing and I can never think straight! I could not believe how big this place was. So many pools, and places to relax. I walked around a bit and got a cookie and went to my next appointment. The pedicure and manicure was amazing. The women said there were 970 people there! Holy cow. I'm glad I didn't get a pass to the pools and mud baths because there were too many people there and it seemed kind of gross. I got out at two.

Here's the lounge pool.

So many people doing a yoga class.

Mud bath.

So after my appointments I went to lay out and get something to eat. Here's the line! I decided to shower and I took the longest shower ever. It was so nice. When I came out the line was gone.

I found a quiet place to relax for a little.

Here's my salad I ate before heading home. It was wonderful, Pecans, strawberries, celery, cheese, chicken. I had the best day! Thanks James for a wonderful birthday! I miss u but I appreciate all you do for us. Thanks Jess and Keven for watching Jocelynn!
