It's a little awkward to write about one's own birthday...especially if you're me. Because if you're me, you have the signature best friend that is the same age as me, as well as the signature best college friends that are the same age as me, but every other precious friend in your life would be at least 5-18 years older than you. Which (if you were me), would make you feel awkward to announce that you are *whispers*....tweeeennnty- threeee.
If you were me, most people would laugh at you for being such a baby age.
*sigh*
Which makes me want to defend all the things I've stuffed into my short, short life and prove that I am in fact wise and ancient, but alas, that would be selfish. So, there you go, blogger world: I'm 23.
It's been a very good birthday. This will always be one of my most special-est birthdays because it's the first one that I am celebrating as a mama. Of course, last year I was pregnant on my birthday, I just didn't know it.
My sweet manly husband let me sleep all night without waking me to take care of the baby, which was so kind of him. Adrian gave both of us the gift of sleeping from 9:30-5:30 (claps). Nick gave me a gift card to Marshall's (!), some makeup, my favorite chocolate (Lindt Truffles), chap stick, and roses all wrapped up in a gift bag with orchids on it. Somehow I'm surprised at the extent to which my husband knows me :)
I spent the day with Andrea and Adrian relaxing and trying to stay cool (these North Carolina summers are nasty). Then, we went to surprise our friend Michele for her birthday (we share the same birthday). She felt surprised and loved and it was a great way to spend the day.
Thank you all my sweet friends for your lovely comments on my facebook and email - they have truly made my day! Happy June 28th!
“Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior…” – Isaiah 43:1-3
