In honor of....

Today is my birthday.

I've officially been alive long enough for children to consider me "old". While that may bother some people, it doesn't bother me. In the years that I have been alive (it's rude to ask a woman her age ya know) I have seen and done things that have made my life grand.

Here are just a few of the amazing things I have seen, done or been a part of in my lifetime. I have traveled to Ireland twice...once with my brother and once with my husband. I have been skydiving. I have had breakfast with a celebrity. I have flown a plane. I have been swimming in the ocean when a manatee swam past me. I have been present when a dear friend has given birth. I have taken pictures that I am proud of. I have completed a 10k. I have laughed, made new friends and reconnected with old ones. I have reminisced. I have learned to ride horses, both English and Western. I have read books. I have played games and both won and lost. I have been the recipient of a surprise party.

I have had a good life and I am happy. Happy birthday to me.
