Here are some photos from my birthday just over a week ago. I turned 27. I’m not one of those people who freaks out about being “old” when they turn a certain age, but I have felt that 27 seems a lot closer to 30 than 26 did. Oh well. I guess being married for several years, being done with college, and soon having 5 kids, it’s ok that I’m not 20 anymore (but with Michael still doing his medical training and us continuing to move all over the country, I do still feel like I relate to college students and don’t feel much like the majority of adults out there who have a house, a “real” job, and are really settled down).
Anyways, I had a great birthday this year. The boys and Michael brought me breakfast in bed and homemade birthday cards in the morning, I wore a cute new shirt and necklace that I had gotten with some Christmas money that week (and it’s always fun to wear new clothes), I got to open gifts in the morning, Michael and I enjoyed a comedy at a local theater in the afternoon, and later we had birthday cake with the boys before Michael and I went out to dinner with Miriam and Wayland Barker, and then we all came back to our place to enjoy dessert and a board game.
