Happy birthday to me!!!




Yep... I am 37 years old today! I have never had a real problem with birthdays. In fact I have always loved them. My philosophy is this... my dear Grandmother lived a wonderful full life till one month shy of 95. So I can't start feeling old and dreading birthdays at 30, 35, 37. What a waste of years that would be!!



I have gotten so much wiser and stronger over the years. I have gained so much confidence as a wife.....

                  
and as a mother.

my first mother's day as a mommy of 2.


I have learned so much about myself. I have learned to just be me.

 I am learning to relax and live in the moment. To not sweat the small stuff and to really enjoy my life. So I welcome 37! The best is yet to be!!

      Thanks Holly! It is such a waste of time to freak out about birthdays isn't it!? I'm not ready for the alternative to them so I may as well embrace growing older!
