So yes - it's my birthday today and I suppose I should blog something wise and impressive.
Um - yeah right - it's me still - don't get your hopes up.
I'm 36 today. As my wonderful husband said "closer to 40 than otherwise". ;-)
At first I felt old this morning, but as I pondered more I realized I feel really content with life right now. I still feel like I'm in my late 20's in my mind - delusional? Yes! Okay with that? YES! Maybe it's not that I feel young still, but just that I am more comfortable in my skin a this point in life so age doesn't bother me.
What I most think of on this day is how very blessed I am.
*I have a great husband who is truly a partner and friend in my crazy life. He knows all my faults and still loves me anyway. What more could I wish for?
*I have two amazing, beautiful, intelligent, sweet children. They are totally healthy and strong, determined and loving.
*I have a good job with less stress than my previous one of 11+ years, we can pay all our bills and still have enough to take a vacation or do other fun things with our family.
*I have wonderful extended family that is so supportive and helpful to us and our children.
*I have terrific friends to laugh with, play with and who help me grow.
So - at 36...I'm thankful, humbled, and a year older & wiser.

Happy Birthday, Laurie! I agree, you're just another year older and wiser! Besides, how I see it, everyone else around me are the ones getting older, not me! Have a great day!
Aw - thanks B! You are so right!
Happy late birthday, Laurie!!! I just found out that you had a blog today! I love reading about your family! I sure wish we lived closer (I know that sounds really funny, but even a 45 minute drive can be long when little kids are involved). Your kiddos are absolutely adorable!
I love blogs because they are a great way to stay in contact - in a virtual sort of way. I will keep checking back.
Say 'hi' to Matt! Take care!!! -Amy
Thanks Amy! I like reading yours too! The kids are just so cute and it looks like you all are having so much fun this summer!
