twenty eight

Today, I am 31 years old. I woke up this morning and after nursing Maria had birthday cards and a gift in bed, then breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and orange juice made for me. After a lazy morning we went for a walk at a nature park with some friends, saw a couple of gators and 2 armadillos (seriously!). We came home and got out the Christmas decorations, put up quite a few things and realized we need new lights this year. You know those things don't last forever. Kind of like being 30, it doesn't last forever. We stuffed ourselves on Chinese food, brownies and ice cream while watching the best Christmas movie ever made. I'm in my Christmas flannel pajamas and am waiting for Maria to eat for the last time tonight. A thoroughly delicious birthday, in every sense of the word.
