Happy Birthday to Me!
Yes, it is true. Today is my 29th birthday. The last year that I can have a 2 at the beginning of my age. Some of my older friends have been depressed at the idea of being 30. My husband, on the other hand, actually had a party to celebrate turning 30 (and since he hates all things related to people celebrating his birthday or giving gifts, that is a miracle in and of itself). Thankfully I have another year to figure out how to cope with that 30 number. For now, I will enjoy still being in my twenties.
The phrase "Happy Birthday to Me" brings back such memories. I went through a phase in college where every good thing in life was met with a response of "Happy Birthday to Me" (with unique accents on the syllables). Apparently this phase was so prevalent in my life that last year when I saw the men's college basketball coach, Coach Scott, he remembered me at least 6 years later as the girl who always said "Happy Birthday to Me!"
Having a birthday in April has meant that it often fell on or near Easter. This morning we started out the morning by leaving at 6:20 a.m. to go to a sunrise service at church. It's so easy to get wrapped up in every day life and forget about how much Christ did for us on the cross and what a victory His resurrection was for all of us. Without it, He would have just been another great man. I am so thankful that we know Christ is risen and we will one day meet Him in heaven. I'm humbled by all that He went through for me.
Happy Birthday wishes also go out to my high school friend, Lisa. I've always enjoyed sharing my birthday with Lisa. Also, happy birthday to Bob-man for tomorrow.

Sandra,
I thought about you when I stood next to your mom at Easter Cantata practice, but I didn't email you. I remember your birthday by tax day and the sad little tale you told of your tax preparer mom forgetting your birthday. I know SHE called you, but I didn't. Happy belated birthday.
Happy birthday to you, sandra! this time you can say that little phrase and mean it for real! haha Let me tell you, 30 isn't all that bad. I dreaded it b/c i was leaving my twenties this year, but it's not bad. So, enjoy the last year of your twenties, but hey i'll tell ya, thrities are looking great!
