Thirty Plus Two

It is that time of year again.  I knew it would be coming soon because after all, it seems to show up every 365 days.  Nothing ever seems to change except for the number.  It goes higher each year and this year, it has reached 32.


Today is my 32nd birthday and as Lily said, "Mommy, you're really old!"  Funny thing is, I really don't feel very old.  In actuality, today I was feeling really loved.


I knew thirty-two wouldn't be so bad when I was greeted with these this morning... 

and given hugs from them...

and when I played silly games with her...


and when I saw how beautiful they have become...


and when he treated me to a special dinner with my family...

and our friends...




Then I got to eat this...

and then he surprised me with these...

and then I received these from family and friends...

His made me laugh...

Theirs made me smile...

and, as always, hers made me cry...

But they all had one thing in common.  This 32nd birthday would be one I never forget because you all made me feel SPECIAL.


If this is how thirty-two makes a person feel, then I welcome it with open arms.  May this be my most wonderful year yet!
