Birthdays...they come...and they go...

As we all know, I just had my birthday. My 32nd birthday. No big deal, just another day to me, except for all the happy birthday wishes and dinner and a few gifts.  Its funny how as children you count the days until your birthday because you look at it as your own personal holiday. Then again, I'm pretty sure there are still adults who still get overly excited for their birthdays, which is cool if you're into that sort of thing.

I have never had a hard time with birthdays. I guess it just know it's apart of life, it's going to come every year, so i might as well just go with it.  So this year wasn't any different. I always get asked where i want to go to dinner for my birthday and what i want as gifts. And every year i say gift cards and steak. LOL!!  But this year was slightly different, i went sushi. But not just that, I wanted a mellow birthday. I didn't want a lot of hullabaloo, i didn't want a lot of attention. And well with that, i guess it didn't settle well with some people.

For every 4 cards i got in the mail wishing me a happy joyous birthday, there always has to be 1 to kinda knock you down to size i suppose.  I can't say it ruined my birthday, because in all reality it didn't. My birthday still came, and i still did my normal birthday activities and still had a good time. And for that I'm thankful.

I'm thankful to my parents who always celebrate my birthdays, and always make sure i feel important on this day regardless of my age.  My brother, who watched the boys for me so i could get a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG overdue pedicure, and not only that, cleaned the house! woot! And of course to my husband who always tells me that every year i keep getting better and better. I know i can always count on my other siblings to be there for me on my birthday, to help me devour cake and make me laugh until my sides hurt. These people, these handful of people mean so much to me and for that I'm so lucky to be able to call them FAMILY. They're always there for all my accomplishments, and there for me when i have my downfalls. They support me through thick and thin, and of course are the best good looking people on the planet, besides me of course!

So with that being said, i must say that this was one of the best birthdays I've had in a very long time. So to Patrick,Mom, Philly, Dad, Brett, Sheri, Kim, Poop, and April......you guys rock!!! So ONWARD TO 33!!!!!
