You're Only As Old As You Feel

Well, I had a birthday. It came and went without too much fanfare, and that's fine by me. I turned 35 this year, which seems so strange, because I remember when I thought 35 was SO OLD! I remember something my Grandma told me, though. I think I asked her how old she was... she told me her age (and I'm sure I thought it was REALLY old) but then added "You are only as old as you feel. And often I feel like I'm only 25!" I love my Grandma... I miss her wonderful stories and words of wisdom. Well, guess what!? I only feel about 22 or so. So I guess that's how old I REALLY am, right? HAHA! It was a very low-key and nice day. The weather was lovely... the way fall should be (trust me, I remember many snowy birthdays!) I was able to go to lunch with some fun friends, and I came home to a fun and festively decorated kitchen, complete with streamers and cute letters (made by my kids) that spelled Happy Birthday Mom! That totally made my day :) Later, Jared took me to dinner, and we had a fun game night with some friends. (The day before was my sister's 30th birthday, so we had a little family cake and ice cream night that night. Thanks Mom!). The best part of having a birthday, is knowing that I've had another great year with people that I love. Here are some of the people I love most - my hubby and kiddos (a little preview of our family pics, I guess.)
