Happy Birthday to me.

Another year older. Not to exciting. So funny when you are younger all you want to do is grow up. I remember riding with my sister Amanda my big wheel on the sidewalks of Monticello...stopping at my pretend stop lights dreaming of when I can really drive. And now here I am. I am a taxi driver for our children and I love it. Maybe not all the running around but, I love to drive still.
I'm getting  older...and all I want to do is to remain young and carefree. I guess instead of going out dancing like I use to, the kitchen and front room has become my stage. I still love to do it. Our children know all my 80's songs and see me dance often. My sweet husband will go along with me when I ask him to dance a "slow dance" with music or to our own. I'm grateful that he does. It makes me happy. So another year has come and at least I am still doing things I love. Like dancing, being a wife, a mother, a daughter,a sister and friend. I'm blessed.

Wow! Look at us...  No don't look at us. We took this at 1 am...after going to dinner for the bday ...we came back and talked for hours. We are missing a few... Jess and Candace. But, I wanted to get us in. So there you have it. Tired girlie's that always have a smile for a camera! :)

Bryce took me to dinner and shopping for my birthday. It was wonderful! He is such a great sport. Thank you baby.
