So the next few posts may simply be quotes totally applicable to how I am feeling lately.
E just turned one Sunday. I cannot believe he’s that old. I am amazed at the little man he has become in just one year. God I love him.

Today I turn 26. I have no idea how this happened. I have no idea how I am married, with a child, and 26 years old. Yea, at one point I was hoping to have a child by 24, heck A wanted a child by 24 (which would have made me 22, yikes). But I just don’t feel this old. I feel like I am 22. But every day I seem to notice that I am looking older and older, a few more gray hairs, some wrinkles, some more sagging (maybe due to E more than aging though).
But having a birthday also reminds me how lucky I am to have wonderful people in my life. All the phone calls I get from friends, the cards I get in the mail, it’s nice to hear from people. E and I went over MJ’s house today. She made me a cake, complete with candles. It was really sweet. Things like that make me feel that there is good in the world…at least for a little while.
