28

I turned 28 on the 27th of February. All in all, I think it was a good day. I got wishes of a good birthday from Oregon all the way to Wichita. Thank you, everyone who sent me ecards and emails. I feel good and loved that I was thought of.

I know I look a bit shocked here.... its the red eye flash thingy.


I love to think about my birth. I often do throughout the year anyway. I think I am more intrigued by my entrance to this world than most, due to me being adopted. But, on my birthday, I often think of the day I came into the world. I am priviledged enough to have my birth mother part of my life so I have been able to hear how the preganncy went. I appreciate you for that and more, Dorothy. And so she says, my birth was fast and easy. Oh, how I hope that is a genetic thing and I have my children with such ease (though I know you said Christopher and Chad weren't so easy). I can never thank you enough, Dorothy, for giving me this gift of life. I am trying to live it with fullness and gratitude. Much love to you.

But, I digress....

Here are photos of my fun evening out.

My sweet husband and friend who took me out on the town. We caught the end of the KU game, too, so it was a double treat.


He surprised me with a nicely wrapped gift...



I was SHOCKED to discover he had bought me an MP3 player!! Woo-hoo!!! I look forward to using this A LOT!



Oh, and of course there were beers to be had!!!
