I'm turning 28 today (at 6 thirty-ish pm to be exact) and instead of the dread that I usually feel at getting another year older, I think I will turn my birthdays into a chance to reflect and feel utter contentment with my life.Here goes...
Today is a great day, because:
- My husband woke me up this morning to sing me happy birthday.
- He also went grocery shopping for me last night and bought my favorite yogurt, which I enjoyed for breakfast this morning.
- I plan to bake my own birthday cake this afternoon because I have re-discovered how much I love baking...especially Carrot Cake!!
- I'm healthy and happy...all anyone can ever really ask for.
- I have fantastic, lovely and wonderful friends and family. (Did I mention they're great?)
- I love the new state and city I'm living in.
- College football is right around the corner. (GO NOLES!)
- I am starting to get more involved here in NC...I've already joined the Junior League and am social chair for the Triangle AXO alumni group...yikes! (My family thinks I'm turning into a Stepford Wife!)
- I'm getting a birthday pedi/mani today...can't wait!
- I've been stressed out about not hearing from UNC about the job, but should find out something today (hopefully).
- And finally, today is a great day because I have a spectacularly wonderful, beautiful mother who made this whole crazy, flaky, fabulous life possible. Thanks, Mom.
So happy to hear all the great things you are getting involved in!!! Can't wait to see you next week.
