Look who turns......

{picture originally was taken by sister for part of husbands Valentine's present I never finished}

%$#??@@&^*%# today.  I'm only embarrassed to share my age because my Mom turned 29 again this year so that would make me a really mature looking 8 year.  Could you imagine what a stir that may cause.. 

As you can see from the above picture, I am looking really hard to try and find the age old answer. I've seemed to misplace my age. This year I actually thought I was going to be one year older than I really am. I'm serious ask my sister...she's the one that heard me screaming shouts of pure joy after I discovered I was off by a whole year. I guess I was getting a little too proud of this getting older stuff. Let's not get carried away though because I don't want to rush it or anything. I do however love the fact that I feel more comfortable in my skin as the years go by. To think I used to get really embarrassed about alerting people it was my special day.

Also, I just wanted to throw this out there today...I am so thankful for the opportunity I was given to come to earth to figure out the purpose of life on this very day a few years back.  I'm kind of a slow learner sometimes but will continue to embrace opportunity to progress.  Which leads me to how I feel about my family unit.  Can we say that the family unit is where I believe most of the refinement process is able to happen...Thank you to all of my family & friends for helping me to be a better person.  A special shout out to Ma & Pa for helping to get me here as well.  Again I have a long way to go but really want to celebrate today as it has been the day that started my life's journey.

Ok enough of all that and on to my birthday wishes for today:

Besides world peace of course...

I wish I would be with my whole family driving up the coast {in the above piece of awesomeness}  from Northern Cali. to where we would end up in Portland to visit one of my all time favorite people (my sister).  We would all then go to Farmers Markets and shop at all of the Artisan places only after we went to the beach a couple of times.  Pure heaven! 


Next, I wish to go back to Las Vegas and play a game, you know where the all knowing guy says he can either tell you what your weight, your age or your birthday is. If he loses you win a prize. Well last time I played that game I won by a landslide in the age category.  I'm just hoping for a repeat if you know what I mean.  That would make my day, considering 2 people in the last few days asked me if I was my sister-in-laws aunt and then yesterday some carpet cleaner dude asked if I was my kids preschool teacher's mom (um wouldn't that make me 50, which I guess is the new 30 anyway so I'll try not to get my panties in a wad).  Not exactly what you want to hear when it's not cool anymore to be Botox free at my age.  No I don't have a complex.  Who really cares that I called two friends today to confirm.

 

I sure love all of my friends and family.  Thanks for all of your gifts and kind words.
