Happy Birthday

I woke up this morning and after a few rounds of stretches and making a big ol pot of coffee it dawned on me.

Today is my Birthday. Ta-da!

Of course I knew it was my Birthday today. I mean how coooool is it to have a Birthday on a FRIDAY? And the fact that I took today off from work because it's {my birthday} {on a friday}?? Or that yesterday after getting Jayden loaded up in the car to head home after a loooong day and putting my key into the ignition and realizing that my car wasn't starting? Oh that's right... of course it wouldn't start because the very next day is... my Birthday!! {don't worry, car finally started after being jumped... although the battery is brand new so next week im taking it in to be checked out/serviced}.

I am now that much closer to 30. It's all good though. Honestly I never can picture myself being this 'old'. maybe it's because im the baby in the family and 27yrs old isn't really 'baby' anymore. it's grown-up. like real time grown-up. do you know what I mean? it seems like just yesterday I was 18 and that sometimes it still feels like like im 19/20 when I think about my age, which I guess isn't such a bad thing but I will admit. im at that point now where sometimes when people ask me how old I am, I really have to think about it for a split second before answering. a few weeks ago I told someone I was 25 and then had to slap the silly out of me and remember I was in fact 26, about to be 27. 

weird. 

For now I will share 27 random things I like this very first day of being 27, on this fine cold fall day.

My outlook for 27

I think it will be a good year. I see more school in my future. More creativeness. More family adventures. More plans for our future as a family. 

I see a more positive outlook no matter what life throws in my face. 

I think 27 will be a good year. 

I guess now I can say 'in my late 20's' right?
