So, yesterday was my birthday, 31! Last year I was pregnant with Gram when I turned 30. It was such a momentous birthday, turning 30 plus being pregnant with my first child. This year was MUCH less momentous and yet completely rewarding, mainly cause I got to hang with my little guy and awesome husband. I definitely know that birthdays will never be the same now that I'm a mom. My day was filled with fun stuff, but not completely relaxing stuff (I REALLY needed a nap today!). Thanks to Facebook, I got tons of birthday wishes, so sweet. My husband made me a delicious meal, yum-o! All in all, good day.My birthday as a mom also makes me feel a bit older. I've never really felt "older" on my birthdays, but this year I do a little bit and I think it's because I'm a mom. Now that I have a child of my own, I'm in another category of peoplehood...the parent category. That means as the years pass I get less cooler, I start saying cheesy things, and I start acting like my mom, who is a GRANDMA....so weird!!! I'm ok with the changes, it's a part of life, and the change has come because of Gram, the best reason to change.
So, here's to 31! Goals for this year:
1. To be the best mom I can be.
2. To love my husband faithfully.
3. To open my heart and mind to God's leading more consistently.
4. To stay in touch with family and friends more
5. To find joy in the small things.
