Birthday Thanks

I had a great birthday thanks to friends and family. I realized that I have a lot of people that care about me. That's a good feeling. Thanks to my friend Natalie I even had a cake this year; mom's are usually the ones that get overlooked in the cake department or we end up making our own. So far 27 isn't too scary. I did have someone say to me the other day that I looked too young to already have two children (expecting the second), and I had to laugh. I guess I should go without fixing my hair and wearing makeup more often?! Is the hippie look making a comeback?

Today

Today. My last day being a 26-year old. Tomorrow I will be 27 and it had me reflecting on this past year, which has totally flown by. I feel like I'm running out of time, there's just never enough time anymore. Life tends to be overscheduled a bit for us at times, Riley likes to be busy and I on the other hand enjoy not rushing around to fifty things all of the time. This last year has been filled with tons of good memories for me that I am very thankful for. I've made new friends, accomplished some personal goals, and been blessed with the gift of a new baby that will be coming into our family very shortly. I've watched my daughter enjoy dance lessons and pre-school for the first time and grow into an adorable hilarious individual. Riley started a new job this last year that has been such a blessing to our family, and one that he enjoys which makes it even more of a blessing. We've watched tons of sporting events and visited with many family members. Life is good and I can't wait to see what the year of being 27 has in store for me.

First blog ever

This is officially my first stab at creating something like this and posting comments about what's going on in my life. I think it's so interesting to read about other people's lives and just hear funny stories about their families. Maybe this will be semi-theraputic for me to vent a little, maybe vent isn't the right word. Anywho, hope to get more of this set up and going and add some more pictures soon.
