35

So Sunday was the big day as I turned  35 years young.  I was a little unsure of how the day would go and how I would feel since I pretty much had a mid-life crisis when I turned 34.  LOL.  Needless to say it was a good day and so far no crisis.  :)

So thinking about being 35 has made me think about my life and getting older and all that nonsense.    I thought I could list some of the reasons why my life is good at this age and what made my birthday a good one.  

1. My wonderful husband Brian who God made specifically for me, who also let me sleep in on my birthday! He had the day off and I was able to spend my special day with my most favorite person.
2. My oldest daughter Emersyn who understands that birthdays are special days, not just for her but for everyone else too.
3. My youngest daughter McKinlee who loves to sing and dance so she was really excited to sing Happy Birthday to me!
4. My youngest child and only son Paxton who was the first face I saw on my birthday when my husband and kids wished it to me.
5. Our friends, The Fallers who met us for a yummy lunch at one of my favorite places Texas Roadhouse. Also my friend Kandi who has a birthday 2 days before me so that we have double the reason to celebrate.
6. My family and friends who called and texted or posted on facebook to wish me a Happy Birthday. Especially my sister Cassie who is usually the first person to call bright and early in the morning every year on my birthday just like my mom used to.  I love that you sing to me.  Thanks Cass for always making me feel special in that way.
7. My best friend's husband and I share a birthday and every year it's a race to see who wishes the other a Happy Birthday first.  It makes it fun and I enjoy it, even though I lost this year.  ;)

I feel very blessed to have some amazing people in my life and I am excited to see what age 35 brings to me.  Thank you to all of you!
