Today Scott called and asked me what I want for my birthday. I have no idea, and I haven’t even been thinking about my birthday. Usually I get really excited that my birthday is coming. I think about it for weeks before, and daydream about how perfect my day is going to be. Then my actual birthday comes, and it is usually just like any other day. Normally mom and dad are in North Carolina, and I end up not really doing anything for my birthday. This year I am in North Carolina too

I started thinking about what I want for my birthday. I told Scott that I want a weekend away with just him But, I know that isn’t possible right now. We will have lots of time for that in the future. So, I decided that a massage at the Pinehurst Spa, while he watches the kids sounds HEAVENLY. So, that is what I am going to do. I can’t wait to just relax in the hot tub and sit in the lounge chairs. I always love the hot tub there, and just sitting there sipping the cucumber water. I can’t wait!!

I also started thinking about me turning 34! Wow, I sure don’t feel like I am that old–I still think of myself as 20 something. But, when I stop and think about it, I am really happy with where I am in my life right now. I have accomplished so much, and I am really happy. I have 3 beautiful, healthy children. I have a fantastic husband who is my very best friend. We have a great relationship and I am thankful to have him everyday. I have wonderful parents who are healthy and a huge part of my life. Scott and I are in a great financial position. He has done so well with his new job. We are able to provide for all our needs, and then some. We have a great house that just keeps getting better–our hot tub and landscaping have added so much! I am really lucky to have the life that I have.
