Birthday and Uncle Mark

I still feel like I am about 22 or 23 inside, but I guess I'm now 29.-Scary! It's amazing how each year seems to go by faster the older you get. Kinda freaks me out that next year I will be 30. Thirty doesn't scare me as much as the fact that forty is just 10 years from that. Just seems a little too close for me. I guess I will just have to cross that bridge when I get to it. For now I am still 29 and so far it's pretty good. Anyway, for my birthday I went shopping with my cousin Holly. We had a great little time shopping and going to lunch. I also found the boots that I wanted in my size! Score! It was the first time I had taken the double stroller with both kiddos to the mall. Pushing that long thing around and weaving around all the clothing racks is a work out! Pretty sure I was a little sore the next day. Pathetic I know. Carson sang "Happy Birthday" to me several times, but didn't really understand that it was my birthday. I still thought it was sweet. That night Chad took me out to dinner to celebrate at El Matador. Love that place! It was so nice to have dinner just the two of us without the distraction of the kids. Thanks Erica for babysitting for us! Then we came home and our good friends came over and ate some cake with us. All in all it was a wonderful birthday.



Chad's brother Mark came and stayed with us for a couple days before he flew back to Missouri for Christmas. Mark is always fun to have around and so helpful. Carson adores him and talks about him for days after he leaves.

Happy Birthday Michelle! Hope it was wonderful. Your family looks gorgeous as ever! Don't worry about the whole almost thirty thing, it's just one year closer to the grave...what's there to worry about?
