A year in review...

Today is my birthday. My 28th birthday. I've always been thankful that I was born in 1980 because I can always figure out how old I am. It's 2008 I'm 28....in 2009 I'll be 29. And in 2010 I'll be 20, right?!? :) Ha....kidding! But we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Every year on my birthday I try to evaluate the events of the last year. This year there aren't too many things that really jump out at me. No major milestones that I really remember. The highlight of my year was getting T to the point that he was 100% potty trained. That's just sad, isn't it?!? :) Most of the year was spent taking pictures, planning a wedding and getting T in preschool. I've started reading a lot more...which has been kind of fun and something I've really missed. But overall I've really just been trying to enjoy life. I know that soon we'll be going through lots of changes and I'm really just trying to spend more time with T and G .

Next year at this time I'll be a married woman and T will be in Kindergarten. He'll start baseball in the summer and probably soccer in the fall. At some point I'll have to stop shopping in the Junior department and face the fact that I'm getting older. :) But that won't be any time soon, I'm sure. I look forward to more opportunities to take photos. I've met some really fun people this year...that's what I love most about photography!

Although I didn't get to spend my birthday at Chuck E Cheese :), I did get to spend it with some pretty cool people...some of my photo clients, T and later my parents will come over. I've had several people stop by today to pick up their photos...and a few more still to come. I love seeing their faces when they see the photos in real life! Just makes me happy! One of the ladies I've done photos for in the past actually remembered that today was my birthday and called me. I thought that was pretty cool! Getting to know the people I work for on a personal level is just so neat to me....especially when all I get with some of them is an hour or two. Fun stuff!

G gave me Wii Fit for my birthday. Guess it was a sign that I need to get in shape! :) Ha....no...I've been wanting it and I was surprised he had planned ahead for my birthday. Let's face it....remembering dates is NOT his strong point and I'm honestly never upset if he forgets. I usually try to make sure I give constant reminders....not because I expect anything, but I know he'll feel bad if he forgets. So that was a nice surprise this morning and T made me a few cards which were really cute.

And now I'm starting to ramble. Anyway, great day...looking forward to another year of fun! :) But for now....the boys need dinner, the dryer just buzzed and T has ripped the sheets off of his bed to make a tent. Lalalala life goes on. :)
