happy birthday to me

today is my 28th birthday! 

i couldnt wait to be 16 so i could drive!

[i got my license 3 days after my birthday, passed with a score of 98]

i couldnt wait to be 18, cause then i was an "adult!"

[always hearing from your parents, you can do whatever you want once you turn 18!]

gosh, sometimes i swear 18 seemed like it took forever to get to.

i couldnt wait to be 21!

[not to be able to drink, i did that after 18, but because i knew i only had 2 more months of being prego!]

carrying around a 9 lb kid was rough!!

i couldnt wait to be 25!

[something about that age just felt good!]

i remember celebrating in vegas :)

now after 25 it all seems to be a blur. the years keep coming and going. i cant recall what i did for my birthdays after that?! it seems like once you have a kid, your own birthdays are out the door [same goes for christmas] take today for example. we go to target and dylan is looking for a toy. its okay though. i dont need gifts [even though i've been spoiled with many this birthday] i feel like i already have it all. great family, great husband, great friends and happy life... everything else is just a bonus that im blessed to have! my mom took me out to lunch and i came home to flowers, balloons and a pink ihome for my ipod... score! its been a great day minus the clouds! my body didnt need anymore sun, so i guess its a good thing!
