It's official, I've joined the 30 and over crowd. ;) So far, I haven't taken it too hard. I feel like I'm right where God wants me to be and am in a closer relationship with Him than ever before. I have so much to be thankful for. I am blessed with a wonderful husband and two beautiful kids (that often drive me crazy, but I still wouldn't trade them for the world). I have my health and am probably in better shape than I was for much of my "younger years." Aging is for people who don't know better, according to Tony Horton of Beachbody fame. :) ...and "old" is always 20 or so years older than I am. ;) So there.
My birthday got off to a rough start when the van wouldn't start as we were headed out to take Avery to school. Thankfully, the battery just needed a charge, and my wonderful neighbor Liz was home to watch Claire and let me use her car to drop off Avery. Yay! Goodness knows I was looking forward to the little break that preschool provides.
After school, the kids got busy helping me make my birthday cake. I was willing to go without one, but Avery insisted I needed one so HE could blow out the candles and make a wish. ha. Thankfully, I had a box of mix and some frosting in the pantry for emergencies.
Avery decorated the cake, too, in his usual fashion. AKA pile of sprinkles here, pile of sprinkles there. :) If you look closely, you may even see some Christmas tree sprinkles on there.
After dinner, it was finally time to light the candles.
Avery even let me blow out a few...
Let them eat cake!
Thank you to my family and everyone else that helped make my birthday special. I'm grateful for another year and hopefully many more to come!
