Birthday Reflections

I'm posting this early because I hope that on my birthday, I am very busy unpacking and organizing my household goods!

This year I turn 28. I guess I'm getting old, because I keep forgetting that my birthday is even coming. It's now only 4 days away. Not that long ago I would have been counting down from the beginning of September. But the move, the pregnancy, the house, and life have just kept me from thinking about me and my birthday!

I've had a lot of whiny blogs and updates lately. But as I think about my birthday, and my age, I realize how lucky I am. I have a wonderful husband who puts up with me and my work-a-holic, nesting induced (maybe?) behavior. I have an amazing 2 1/2 year old healthy and smart little girl. On my birthday, I will be a month away from my son's due date, who is healthy and strong judging by the way he moves around my belly. We have a dog who is happily living outside the house during the day, which really cuts down on my cleaning. We have two new-enough cars that run well and look nice. We have a house that is perfect for us and full of potential for our future. Ryan has a wonderful job, with good pay, good benefits, and great hours for being able to spend time with our family. Our 'old' friends are coming to celebrate my birthday and our house next weekend. Both of our families are a lot closer than they were before. We have family and friends who have been generous with time, money and things for our home.

No wonder I'm not that excited for my birthday, I already have everything I could want or need, (within reason ha ha, I'd still take a million dollars or a Hawaiian vacation)!

So I'm happy to be turning 28, happy with my life. See you on the other side of the pile of boxes!

*BLAH - just found out we are LAST to get our stuff, so the 28th it is! Could have blogged on my birthday lol*
