Well, it's official. I feel OLD! Today was my 32nd birthday and the more time goes on the older I feel. I might not look it (as our waiter at TGI Fridays told me!) but the mind is going...
I spent the morning of my bday teaching the last day of a summer camp session for some of my kids this past year. Then mom and Kari took me to TGI Fridays for my birthday lunch. Typically we have our birthday dinner at mom's complete with my absolute favorite dessert - strawberry cheesecake. But we girls decided that it would be nice to have a meal togehter just US - sans kids of course! (I'd better get that cheesecake this summer!) And it was just that - a delightful time for us women to enjoy each other. I'm so blessed to have such an incredible relationship with my mom and my sister that we actually LIKE to do these things together!
Then I headed to mom's to get Abraham and to open my presents from them. I got good smelly stuff from Bath and Body, a totally cool picture frame and a great pair of earrings from Kari and family. Mom and dad got me clothes and a too cool piece of jewelry from a place called Fire and Ice, that sells unique stone jewelry. If I could remember the name of what they got me I'd tell you but like I said - the mind is a terrible thing to lose!
We (Michael, Abraham and I) had a quiet night at home. Michael is going to take me out to dinner on Saturday for my birthday.
All in all it was a nice day.
A bit about us...

- What can I say about me that you might find remotely interesting? I am a wife, momma, daughter, sister, friend and teacher. Michael and I met on line and have been married since 2001. Abraham and Moses came along in 2005 - and were the second biggest blessings of my life. I teach 3rd graders - this is my 9th year. I truly believe that this is the mission field that God planted me in. I love it... most days! Other days I need a stiff drink! HA! My family means everything to me. Luckily we live close enough to my family to share many memories with them. We visit GA often to see Michael's family and share time with them too. I long to be the best wife and mother that I can be for Michael and Abraham. I want to impact the world around me and teach Abraham to do the same. I pray that he grows up to be a man of integrity who loves the Lord.

Happy Birthday Girlfriend. There is nothing better than spending a quiet birthday with family and it sounds like you got some awesome gifts too. I emailed Kari about you all bringing the kiddos down for some fun so let me know the dates you decide on. Can't wait to see you all!
