Happy, Happy Birthday to Me!!

"Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me!"
Today is my 29th birthday and I'm so loving this time in my life. I love the idea of my last birthday in my 20's...I am counting on the fact that I will get wiser with age and continually learn new things. My 20's were spent learning, loving, hurting and changing...the health obstacles alone have severely plagued me, the desire/loss/gain of a child has molded me in ways I never thought possible. I can't believe that I have been married almost 8 years...I am not the same girl I was when I turned 20 that's for sure...I'm so glad for that!
I am in constant changing mode it seems these days...I am thankful for my 20's and all the things learned in them, and as I cross over into this last year of my 20's I pray I grow/change even more into the woman of God that He has always intended me to be.
I will never be perfect and neither will my life...but I am always going to strive for a great and every progressing relationship with Christ, an even more wonderful marriage(I am truly a blessed woman), a good mother/child relationship, even better/closer relationships with friends and family.
I also have several goals for this fine 29th year:
*to get over my thyroid issues and back into my skinny jeans!
*get pregnant again!
*learn to sew and make 2 quilts!
*be more hospitable
*journal daily again
*get dressed and put at least mascara on every day
*be more involved in MOPS
*run a 5k/half marathon
*camp at least 3 times this summer
*save lots of money and use lots of coupons
*read one new book a month
*make my own magnets
*visit family out of town more often
*exercise 6 days a week
to name a few:)

As I accomplish these things, I will blog about them.
So, this morning I woke up to an amazing birthday day...my sweet son Aiden was up at his usual awake time between 7 and 7:30, he was sitting up in his crib, squeaking and talking holding two birthday present bows in his hands and smiling...next to him was his card and present(so precious, I totally cried). :)
Then Jeph got me breakfast, my friend Chanel brought lunch and we hung out and talked, and tonight I get to have an evening with the hubby! He brought dinner home and I got a few hours without kiddo to just be with him! This weekend I get to just craft from now until Sunday whenever I have time, I'm so excited about that!!I also got an ipod station for the car(which I have been dying to have)!!! :) So far an awesome birthday, I will post about the scavenger hunt/dinner birthday party goes!! :)
