So... 32 eh?

Friday night was not all too bad. I mean, little guy woke up a couple times in the night but since it was my birthday weekend, hubby got LG. I had balloons waiting for me, presents very sweetly wrapped, and lots of cards that I had been holding onto throughout the week. We had a great morning just reading cards, opening some gifts and then we went to breakfast.

I have a birthday tradition... chocolate pancakes. Only once a year (we don't want those higher numbers making another appearance into the closet unless there is another little person needing the space :-)). We went to a fun diner that has this whole bear, forest, Montana feel to it. And, although they did not have chocolate chip pancakes on the menu, the waitress said it would not be a problem. And, boy, she was not kidding. The were the biggest and yummiest choc. chip 'cakes I have ever had! I could only eat one and LG helped me with it. So great!

Then, we all came home and took naps! AHHHHH the birthday nap. Yes, I am now well into my 30s and a working mommy, a nap is like the best birthday present ever! Am I right folks?

Then, we went down to our fun little pool and just hung out. Oh, and our babysitters had to cancel on us. Fortunately, we had a back up! I was soooo thankful it worked out... once again, I just continue to feel so loved by my Heavenly Father... even in little things like providing a babysitter on short notice in a city where we know very few people.

Dinner was wonderful!!! A great bistro type place and it was BYOW! I love places like that. They are few and far between back east where we used to live. It was so nice that hubs had arranged everything. Also, he remembered a pair of shoes I had seen awhile ago. What woman doesn't love a man that will buy her shoes for her birthday! Oh, I love that man! And, the shoes are yellow!!!! Love it!

So, I am 32. I have not really thought too much about it... it only being a recent occurance. But, I know that being in your thirties is a great place to be. I feel as though I have arrived. I got through the transitions of dating and marriage and believe that being a wife and mommy and current working mom is this great role (although it's tough doing it all far from close family and friends.

Well, off to bed. But more thoughts on being 32 later...
