9/11

September11

I can’t believe I am 35.� Wasn’t I just 17 last week?� Sigh…

My 34th year brought more changes than any previous year to my life.� I became a mom and lost my dad.� I spent 2 months living in Guatemala.� I moved farther from home and I’ve ever lived. � And I am lucky that I did all of those things with my wonderful husband by my side.� As long as we are together, everything else is okay.

Speaking of my husband,� I thought I would show off my birthday present.� Steve bought me a fun, shiny present in Pittsburgh Labor Day weekend.� (Matching earrings also – hoping Sabrina gets out of her pulling on my jewelry phase soon.)

I spent an hour chatting with my BFF on the phone this morning and have plans to browse at Target this afternoon.� This evening I’ll hang out with my hubby and daughter.� Sounds like a good day to me!

35?? I can’t remember my 35th birthday…just you wait – the 40’s are fabulous!
Well, let’s hope that this year is limited to the excitement of Sabrina’s “firsts”, the sale of your old house and the finding of the perfect home in your new town…or maybe just a good sale on diapers at Target.

Happy Birthday!!! Little did I know that I’m older than you (by a week an a half!!) Nice present – good job Steve!!! My birthday wish for you is that your house sells!! (I was going to say something like that the ice cream you eat today doesn’t stick to your body anywhere -but I thought the house selling might be better!!)

happy bday michelle! i can remember wishing you a happy bday last year on your blog and it was a different scenario…the referral scene was bleak, we were so tired of waiting to hear we had babies…, and now they are home, you live in different city, and everything feels different. i guess that’s why they call it aging ;). happy 35th, and give sabrina a squeeze for us!
