Okay, so I just had my birthday last week. Usually a birthday doesn't mean much, but this time I just felt different. My 20's are gone. As Matt put it, it actually feels like we should be responsible adults and not kids. I mean, obviously we are that way, but we still aren't settled down and won't be for years. I don't know how to explain it though. I'm just crazy haha.
Anyway, Matt made it a great birthday. I actually woke up with the desire to deep clean, so I did that all day. The kids even cooperated with me, which was a birthday miracle. Then, Matt got me the cricut wireless adapter, my first willow tree figurine (yes I want to collect them) and the game cribbage. He made crepes and individual chocolate molten lava cakes. He's pretty much amazing! He did everything I asked and more. I don't deserve such a great guy.
I had lots of friends call me as well, which isn't something that normally happens to me. It was also different in that my family all had to figure out the timing of my birthday. All of them, except 1, called me on my birthday, which was the day before them. I don't know why, but it just made it feel even more special. I realized how much I miss my family, both mine and Matt's sides, even though I love being here.
The week before my birthday they were all able to get together for my grandma's funeral. She passed away just after Thanksgiving. I was saddened that I couldn't make it to celebrate her life and see my family. It's a good feeling to have though because I think that since we lived close to them, we took it for granted. I haven't been able to get with my brother's much since we got married, but now that it's hard to do that, it makes me miss them all more. I'm glad they all got to get together and have fun though. I think it was definitely needed in our family. Maybe next time we can be there.
