BYesterday was my 23rd birthday. Weird as it may sound, when I was young, I used to dream of being 23. At times, I even imagined being 23. Don't ask me why, it always just seemed like a magical age. So here it is, the age I have been waiting my whole life for. Here's too hoping it's as good as my child-heart thought it would be.
I had a wonderful birthday. The weather was more beautiful than any other year I can remember on February 16th. On many years there has been lots of snow and no school, but yesterday the weather was perfect. Riley and I took a long walk in the morning. Then my mom picked me up and we did some bargain shopping at Kohls. They were having a huge sale and she had 30% off. I got a dress for the Bachelorette party next weekend, some super cute teacher clothes, earrings, headbands, sunglasses, and some Eric Carl books. We had lunch with my brother at Qdoba. Then Mom and I got Riley and went for a second walk down by the river. In the evening, I spent time with Josh. He got me a new Bible, because mine was beginning to fall apart. It is an NLT Woman's Study Bible and it has my name engraved on the front. I love it! For dinner, we met 11 of my wonderful friends at Hacienda. Oh, and Hank and Julie made a birthday sign for the stairs with paper plates. They are the best!
Today, I got a great late birthday present. I was offered an eight week maternity leave at Howard Roosa Elementary School. I AM VERY EXCITED!
Made to Crave will come later. Have a nice evening!
Glad you had such a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteMy dream age was the 30s. Probably more of the early 30s but the late 30s seem to fit perfectly!
