I think it's too much, Marcum...you're giving her more than she asked. If she asks a question that you must respond to, ONLY answer the question, don't volunteer more info than she asks for. I know it sounds harsh, but it's necessary.
She asked how your birthday went.
"B-day was awesome, thanks"
And wait a couple hours before sending it.
Based on how you've been up to now, this will be a huge 180, and will put her off balance, wondering what the hell you're up to. Stay the course. Be consistent. PERIOD!
And when you talk...be nice, smile, act happy and enthusiastic. You're glad to see her!
But nothing mushy, you are not at that stage at all. If she doesn't initiate a kiss or hug, then you are not allowed to. If she does, then go for it, but don't go overboard.
