Happy Birthday to Me, I Turned 33

What I didn't do:
*teach my RS lesson (thanks Jane!)
*blow out candles
*eat cake
*enjoy the beautiful summer-like weather

What I did do:
*sent Tyler & Ava to the ER in the middle of the night (Ava woke up with a raging ear infection & Tyler was sick as well)
*sent Tyler & Naomi to the after-hours pediatric clinic (yucky virus)
*stayed in bed all day trying not to cough up a lung

The day was a gigantic bust, but I'm grateful for another year of life and the blessings I received. I'm grateful for the love I share with my husband and daughters. I'm grateful for the birth of Naomi. It was exactly this time last year we found out she would be joining our family, right when we had given up hope. So even though today wasn't the best, it has been a really REALLY great year for me and I'm happy.

p.s. Tyler just ran to the store to get me a slice of cake. He's the best!
