birthday

this year, my birthday seemed to creep up on me -- yesterday i turned 28 (and for some of my friends it was a surprise to find out how old i was). :) i think it's been the traveling to california (twice in 4 weeks) that made the weeks seem to fly by.

my darling husband woke me up in the morning with tons of kisses, we went to church, had lunch, i took a nap, went to dinner, and had some friends over. it was a nice relaxing day with lots of sunshine. :)

i think at times it's hard for me to celebrate my birthday in recent years b/c there's this expectation to have this spectacular day. i get caught up in this hype and it can lead to disappointment i think. this year, i was determined just to enjoy the day and not have any expectations, and i think it helped me enjoy the day much better. :)
