Happy Birthday to Me.
Due to the craziness of Wednesday evenings (Awana for both kids, class for S.) I decided we would go out last night. Very yummy at Mike's American Grill imperial crab dip, filet tips and penne pasta, flourless chocolate waffle with ice cream and my family singing "Happy Birthday" to me. Today was a fair day. I can't believe I am 37. How did I get this old? I don't feel like I should be 37. What should it feel like? When my mom was 37 I was 15/16 and dating my now husband (who'd've thunk that then???) I have a 4 year old, 2 1/2 year old and we are talkinga bout numbers 3 and 4.
Do I wish I could have started my family sooner? Yes.
Would I trade any of the experiences I have had in my life? Nope. Not even the negative/bad ones.
Do I feel my age? some days - especially when my feet are killing me
Do I act my age? NEVER!!!
What did I get for my birthday? a few ecards, a few phone calls, a book and a card
And chocolate cake at 9pm - complete with kids singing and helping blow out candles.
God is great and life is good.
Also - Rich Mullins went home to heaven 10 years ago today. On my 27th bday. If you haven't checked out his music and lyrics, please do so. It'll touch you.
Blessings
the Birthday Girl
