Birthdays!

Well, yesterday was my 27th birthday. It is funny, I remember my mom when she was 27......I think Letty was about a year old then....not sure. But I do remember thinking they were on their way to getting old. I was about 7 or 8 myself. Anywho, I on the other hand do not feel old or on my way to getting old. I do feel wiser. I am very content with my life right now and have grown so much in the past few years......hence the wiser part. I have made life long friends, found my spiritual balance, and thanks to my hard working husband quit my job, and have a very healthy and happy family. What more could you ask for? I still have a lot of personal things I want to tackle, and honestly I hope I always have things I want to do and learn. I really hope I never get to a place in my life where I feel that I have done all there is to be done. I could never be happy doing nothing or not helping someone.



Bens birthday was today. When I first saw him this morning he looked at me and said, "Man, I can't believe I am finally six." I said, "Me either." He is so cute, and is getting so big. He will definantly outgrow me by 10. My neice allready has and she is 12. I was all excited because I was going to get him a new bike for his birthday and he was going to be able to pick it out himself. So we brought him to Walmart (he didn't know what we were getting him) we walked over to the bikes and he said, "No, this is not what I want." I asked him, "Are you sure? Your other one is too small and you could ride instead of walk with me in the afternoons. I even showed him all of the pretty colors." He replied, "Yes, I am sure. I would like a new game." So off to the electronics section we went, where he purchased Lego Indiana Jones. It is actually a really cute game and cheaper than the bike so I couldn't complain.

Next Friday evening we will hold his Dino birthday party at our house. I love birthday parties b/c it is a great excuse to get friends and family together. I am looking forward to it.
