Itches and Scratches...: 35

35

I've been dreading this birthday. Not so much because of the number...ok, a little because of the number, but more because I always do a little self reflecting when my birthday comes, and this year I'm not loving what I'm seeing.

BUT...

Then my husband goes and plans a great night, with great friends, and even surprises me with a cake!

My awesome husband!

My bro and sis-in-law. This picture will forever make me laugh!

I also had a fun day with my cousin Lauren and her two Adorable babies, complete with ice cream sundaes! On my birthday I got to have breakfast with my friends, and then spend the day shopping with my mom. She gave me these beautiful flowers!!

AND a few days later a nice coffee date with Nana and Michelle.

So, I'm feeling better. How could I not? I have family and friends that love me even when I'm not loving myself. People that can change my attitude with their smiles and hugs.

I am blessed.

About Me!

I am a Christian, a wife, and a mom of 3 great kids, Ellie age 11, Annie age 8, and Austin age 6! Most of my days are spent mommying, driving, and praying to keep my sanity! Thankfully I have a great husband, Jason, who grounds me, who supports me, and (for the most part!) understands me. I also have some pretty awesome family and friends that are always there when I need them! In late 2011 our daughter Ellie was diagnosed with Asperger's, an Autism Spectrum Disorder. In early 2012 our son Austin was diagnosed with ADHD. So yeah, it's pretty much a circus around here! As crazy as it gets though, I know I'm not alone. God has lifted me up time and time again, and I thank Him daily.
