It's My Birthday

I know, I know, most people don't get all excited about their birthdays much after 21 or 25. But this past year has been an awakening for me. And I plan on embracing every moment in 2012. So yes, today I turn the big 2-7! And I'm so thankful that God has blessed me with family, friends, and twitter to help celebrate.
When most people asked me what I was doing for my birthday. I would tell them my plan was to sleep past 5am. And that I did. I didn't wake up until 8. I woke up to the phone ringing. The birthday wishes began early. I ended up going back to sleep and didn't get out of bed until 11. A great start to a birthday. I went to the post office and returned phone calls. I went and got Trey and Ella to go to my parent's house for lunch. My grandparents, aunts, brother, and sister-n-law were all there. It was a great time. I took the kiddos back home and went home to rest. I met my sister-n-law at BWW around 10:30 that night for one last birthday hoorah. I ended up joining the cupid shuffle dance line. It was a lot of fun! I loved spending my day with my Godchildren, my family, and friends. I feel so blessed and grateful.
