Happy Birthday to ME!

Well, yesterday was my birthday...it seemed like any other day. I guess that's what happens when you get older. You still have to go to work, your daughter still needs to be taken care of and the laundry still needs to be done. I'm not complaining mind you espically not about the daughter part but I remember being so excited for my birthday to come. I loved that my birthday was on the 17th I thought what a perfect day. I know I did not always want it this close to Christmas but still I enjoyed it. When you get older it somehow loses it's charm, it's magic if you will.
So I was thinking about all the stuff I have done instead of all of the stuff I haven't done yet and I'm 32! There's always a list for the things and places you haven't been but I'm trying to be more postive so I thought about how many things I have done, in my 32 years....

1. Traveled....I've been to St. Louis, (thanks to Mimi), California, (thanks to Mana, Dan), Mexico,(thanks to Dan, Ken and Jan Truax), Las Vegas (Mom and Dad, Dan), Orlando, (Mom and Dad), New Mexico/Texas (Jan and Ken), Minnasota and various places in Iowa and Missouri,
2. I've gotten married and had a WONDERFUL little girl. I don't know what I would do without these two! Love you guys!!!
3. I have a career as a hairdresser. I really enjoy doing hair and the people make it totally worthwhile. I enjoy talking to people and trying to make their day better.
4. I've been on a train, plane, ship, helicopter, and submarie. Not all in one day of course!
5. I've been to two major league baseball stadiums and one major leauge football stadium

So anyway, you get the idea. I guess I should start planning some more things to do before I turn 40...ugh, I don't want to even think about that right now. Well, I also wanted to thank Dan for making most of that happen, I am very lucky to have such a wonderful husband and one that likes to do things and travel. (And that wants me to go with, lol) Thanks also for the beautiful roses and lunch yesterday and dinner on Friday!

Happy Birthday!! It is better to count your blessings -- it makes us realize how great we have it.
