I woke up today as a 28-year old woman. I don't think I quite understand. Wasn't I just 17? I looked around and realized that I have a husband, two kids, and a dog. Where did they come from? My life must be in warp speed. There is just no other way to explain what is happening to me.
What a crazy feeling! But I love everyone blazing quick moment that flies by me. This life is more than I could have ever imagined in my wildest dreams. To be so lucky as to have an insanely wonderful husband that would make other wives drool by the way he treats me, a little boy who's smart as a whip, a little girl that is the apple of my eye, and the true "man's best friend" for our dog, what more could I ask for. God might just laugh in my face if I make any such requests!
I have had the absolute best birthday a 28-year old woman could possibly have. I found out today just how many people really, truly care about me. There are more than I thought - honestly!
I woke up this morning to little post-it notes all over the house with sweet nothings on them from my husband, since he had gotten up early to go to the gym. What a way to start the day, hey ladies???? I got two voicemails this morning with Happy Birthday being sung to me; one from my Dad, and the other from my friend, Karen who sang it first in English and then in Spanish! How cool is that?
I feel like an adult for real now. I have had all of the responsibilities for years - I think I just was refusing to actually call myself a grown-up; but here I am, almost 30, and I can honestly say that I am ready now. I am looking forward to the next year, and I hope it's as fantastic as the last few!
I did do one thing last night as a 27-year old, that was a bit risky. I decided to make both pancakes and syrup completely from scratch, and it was delicious! Here are some pics!
