Birthday Blessings

Hello! This weekend was my birthday..... A whopping 32 years under my belt!

I actually had to go to the DMV to renew my license. Damn. I liked my last picture, too. And now a days (gosh, that made me sound old!) the DMV doesn't even give the license to you right then. They mail it! So, I don't know if the new picture is decent. We didn't get a chance to celebrate this weekend due to Jacob still recovering from his surgery. He is very needy at this point and neither one of us wanted to leave him yet. That's okay though! That means we'll get to celebrate TWICE! :-) I still haven't chosen where I would like to go to dinner.... I need to decide if I want one of the places we usually go, or venture out to a new restaurant. I'm not really picky, but I'm leaning towards a new place.

I received many wonderful gifts from my family this year, but the greatest blessings I already had. A loving, sensitive, supportive (and handsome, dare I say...) husband who loves me and my crazy ways unconditionally; two adorable boys who think I am a Goddess (or a princess.... he he..see previous post); a supportive, caring, active family that is involved with the boys; I am so thankful of the people in my life that love me.

When I think about all of the changes that have occurred in my life over the past few years.... I am in awe. The one that has changed me most is becoming a mother. I am truly learning to surrender myself and have faith that God only gives me as much as I can handle and I am learning not to "over-think" each change and situation that I encounter.

I look forward to another incredible year with much more learning, love, and memories!!
