32

Sometimes I don't think I express my feelings very well when I blog, but it is what it is. I turned 32 yesterday. I used to think that celebrating holidays was kind of dumb. I didn't like the fact that there was a certain day set aside where people felt obligated to give you a call, or buy you a present, etc. I felt like if people wanted to do those things they should just do them. Yesterday, I changed my point of view a little bit. I still think that we should let the people we love know more often and that we don't need a holiday to do so. However, if it takes my birthday to hear from people I haven't heard from in awhile then it is definitely worth it. I got to talk to my best friend from high school yesterday which I usually do twice a year, her birthday and mine. Thanks for the call, Shawna, love ya. I heard from an old roommate, a friend that I used to teach with, several of my brothers, some of whom I don't hear from very often. I also got a wonderful card from my parents, with some great words of love and advice, my in-laws came and babysat for me so Jamie could take me out. I just felt extremely loved yesterday. So thanks to all who made it a great day!
