Birthdays

Sunday I celebrated my 27th birthday with my parents, siblings, and my new inlaws. Jason grilled chicken and we had baked beans, salads, and birthday cake. Mom really got me good this year with a butterfly that came flying out of my card. Yikes! That one really startled me, especially because my Mom is not normally a prankster :) Asia's card was also very entertaining...a dog with a big fuzzy afro. Very funny :D The birthday cake also reaffirmed that I do not have enough hot air. Dad had to be sure to close the window so any breeze wouldn't help me...not that it would have made a difference. Out of 27 candles I think I blew out about 5 of them...

Birthdays are funny things, every year I have one, but I fail to feel any older. You'd think that getting married would make me feel old, but honestly I still feel like a kid playing house. Nonetheless it was fun to have everyone over to celebrate. Life goes by far too fast, and its good to slow down and enjoy it.

I'm sorry I haven't checked your blog lately so I didn't even notice that you had a birthday. Happy belated birthday to you!

And I totally understand when you say it feels like you are a kid acting like an adult. I feel the same way with my new job. I feel like an imposter playing the role of someone who knows what he's talking about. Hopefully that gets better with time.
