I don't know. Am I really 32? Most of the time I have to remind myself that I'm in my 30's. I still feel like a young 20 something most of the time. On the inside that is. My body likes to remind me that I am over 30 and have given birth to 5 children. But I can't complain.
Once you have kids and lots of life responsibilities, birthdays just don't seem that important anymore. Today is pretty much just like any other day. When you're a kid each birthday marks another milestone. Now its just another day. However, today did turn out to be pretty special. I knew Andrew would be working until late tonight so the kids and I decided to celebrate by bringing home pizza so mom wouldn't have to cook. While Avery and I were gone to town running errands, Summer and the boys cleaned the kitchen and Summer made me a cookie cake. I intended on taking a picture to put on here but it got cut before I could get to it. My long lost little sister called from Florida to wish me a happy birthday along with several other family members. Along with a ton of well wishes from FB.
I am a very blessed person. I have a husband who is hard working, caring and faithful to his family and his God. I have happy healthy children who delight in doing little things they know mean a lot to me. I have a great extended family and church family. I live in a great country and above all else I serve an AWESOME GOD. He delights in giving me the desires of my heart. What more could a girl ask for.
So maybe I am another year older, but I'm also another year wiser. I have another year of learning under my belt. God is showing and teaching me so many things and had another year not already passed I wouldn't be the person I am now.
Thank you to all who helped make this a special day.
