29!!!

Turned 29 this week! Definitely getting close to the big 3-0!!!....and definitely feeling it. I sure am counting my many blessings for another great year, but, boy was my birthday week full of bad luck!

I had actually planned to take my birthday off from work. I was going to treat myself with a shopping trip. That went DOWN THE DRAIN a couple of weeks ago when I learned that the state would be coming back to the school to post-monitor the ESOL program on October 3rd (one day after my bday). WOW. YAY. Definitely needed to ba at shcool to make sure things ran smoothly. That's was ok, though. On my actual birthday, I was OBSERVED at work. No one HATES being observed more than me. I can not stand people watching me. VERY OCD. VERY MUCH A PERFECTIONIST. I made it through, and I think that I did ok, though. Then, I had to spend the afternoon getting my license renewed (tried to do that earlier but why in the world are they closed on SATURDAY!!!???)The day AFTER my birthday, I was left in the Publix parking lot stranded with a dead battery. Cody and Kenny came to the rescue. Last night, we found a flat tire in my brand new Michelin tires....NAIL. Ugh, really???

So, I was hit with some pretty bad luck this week, but, surprisingly, I am NOT sweating it. I am actually laughing about it. That's just how it goes, and all of these things really don't add up to much (in the big scheme of things). I am actually pretty blessed.....I am so happy and thankful for....

My beautiful, wonderful, innocent, smart, hilarious, adventurous, happy children. WOW. Who could be more blessed than me???...no one.

A husband, who is beyond helpful and unlike any husband I have ever seen. TRULY. LOVES. HIS. CHILDREN. AND. ME. I can't praise him enough.

TWO great families....I mean, really? How did I get TWO wonderful families? I am so happy that I have families that are interested and involved within my children's lives. It means so much.

A job. So many people are lacking that....AND....although I complain and wish that I was here at home, I am beyond thankful that I have one (since I need it and all). It's a pretty rewarding one, too. I have about thirty or so babies at school that love me, too! ;)

An opportunity. Cody's opportunity. DSD is doing fairly well. Too busy for one person, but a little hesitant to hire someone else (and not busy enough for me to quit my job...ha). I am so happy that things have remained steady. Cody is very happy. Hoping that business will continue and steadily get even busier.

A great life. I must say that life is pretty good. We are members of great families and church. We have a beautiful little family with a home that we built.  Blessed (as copied from a friend) beyond belief.

Before one of my bday dinners!
