Happy birthday to me!!! I'm am officially 30 today. Don't really know how I feel about it, but ready or not...it's here. Its been a great day. Everybody at work made a big deal about it (that really meant a lot), Daniel was out of the ordinary sweet to me, the kids all picked me out a gift (Colby-gum, Micah-gummy worms, Mayson-egg-shaped chapstick, Levi's too young to have an opinion) and we went to eat with my family at Logan's. My dad drove down from Albany, my brother rushed home from work an hour away, and my mom ordered me special cake just because I'm her little girl. Being able to spend my birthday surrounded by my family just talking and being together was so great. As I rode to school this morning and I was thinking about the plans we had tonight, it occurred to me how blessed I am to have a family that would go out of their way to make this day special for me. Today I was reminded how much they all truly love me. With all this fuss about me today.....
It makes me think of this child, our child, that is waiting for a family like that. Waiting for a mom and dad, sisters and brothers to go out of their way to make him know he is loved. What he doesn't realize is that he already has a family like that...our family. He doesn't realize yet that he is loved beyond anything he could even imagine right now, and that everyday we are getting closer and closer to being able to celebrate his special day....together. Can't wait!
