Thirty- WHAT?!! Thirty- WHO?!! Ohhhh, you are talking about me! In my mind, once I turned thirty (and became a mom, and became very busy to think about the little things) I often forget what year of my thirties I am in. When I forget I just deduct 7 years from Brad's age, and this year, that was easy. 40-7= 33
THIRTY THREE Hmmm, how do I feel about this number? Well, I'm still closer to 30, than 40, so that's a relief! Its a palindromic number, which represents perfect balance. And you know, "balanced" is exactly how I would describe the feeling I get about turning 33. I'm not as afraid of turning 33 as I thought I once would, instead I'm SO proud! Even with dark circles and little time to put myself together these days, as in the photo above.... sans makeup and hair brushing apparently. I stand at such a pivotal place in my life. At 33 years old, I honestly have everything I have ever wished for when blowing out those birthday candles. I feel accomplished, and I feel like all of our hard work and time has paid off! I have an abundance of LOVE, a man I'm still crazy about, a healthy fun marriage, TWO beautiful little boys I get to cuddle with any time of the day, a School Psychology career (I put on hold for the meantime), a DREAM house, many adventures under my belt and more to conjure up, I'm healthy and I'm actually very happy with my post 2-babies-in-a-row body. I'm more optimistic and excited about life than I was when I was in my Twenties. I am happy. I am grateful. I am lucky!
Below are the flowers I received from my boys. The flowers on the left were brought to me by Taji. The orange gerber daisy on the right was given to me by Brad, who told me this will be the first flower we plant in the garden in front of our new house. So sweet. Its the Grover Gerber daisy!
Then we made it just in time to catch the rosy red skyline of the sunset, from our new house.
Happy Birthday to me! And many more birthdays like this one!
