Last weekend I turned the ripe YOUNG age of 35! I am actually one of those people that has enjoyed getting older. Maybe it is because I feel wiser, smarter, healthier. I feel in control and powerful. Most likely because I am responsible for my children, responsible for keeping them safe, healthy and happy and because now I have to answer questions from my boys about life and God, relationships, space, strangers, germs, disease and death. The list goes on and on. The questions never end. Many times I don't even know the answer so I either look it up (thank God for Google) or I give a bogus answer and then get "but why mom?". "Because I said so, because I am a mom and mom's know alot of stuff." I need to come up with a better line! Anyway, my point is that becoming a mother has challenged me in so many ways. Ways I never imagined, but that I love and thrive off of. Ways that make my mind spin and both my head and heart ache. Ways that make my eyes smile when I look at my kids and look forward to many healthy years ahead. Cheers to 35!
This picture of Guy and I was taken at Who Song & Larry's in Vancouver, WA right on the Columbia River. My sister Joey and her hubby Jake came down for the night. It was so great to spend and evening with them and get out of the house. Thanks for a great b-day everyone! Love you all!
