Birthdays ...

Yesterday was my birthday. I'm officially in my late 20's. Not sure how I feel about graduating from mid-twenties but what can you do other than embrace it all. We're happy and healthy. We have this amazing little girl who we can't get enough of. We feel that we are right where God wants us. Not a bad way to start another year - even if it is my 28th - ick.

We are headed to Port Aransas this weekend to spend a few days being beach bums. So yesterday, Claire and I got up and picked up some kolaches and had a breakfast at the park. We played for a long time but even at 8:30 it was really humid and hot. We came home and took naps (yes, me too) and then met Sheryl and Sophie Kate at the pool for a few hours. Ethan came home early and took us to dinner at one of my fav  Italian restaurants. I received some beautiful flowers in the cutest vase from my youth team. Good day.

I refused to do anything I didn't want to do - no cleaning, no working, no laundry. I think it's illegal to do anything the day of your birthday that you don't want to do. I think it's a law or something.

Since Ethan had to work part of the day, he made me a video with his phone. I heart him. I told him I didn't want a gift this year since I'd rather us just all get away together. So we budgeted birthday money towards our trip - guess he was feeling bad. :)
