Hey, I'm 28!

28 years old.  Why it feels like a huge leap over 27, I'm not sure.  Now I'm really in the countdown to 30, I guess.

Today is low key, but the past week or so has been a whirlwind of family time and that was really a great build up to my birthday.  Today, we'll be ordering pizza and celebrating with cheesecake (my favorite!).  John actually bought me a surprise present (I normally pick out something), so I'm excited to see what it is.

I feel so blessed this year.  I have a wonderful family, a beautiful house that I can call my own, a super cute dog who adores me unconditionally (even when I dress him in pajamas), and I'm finally learning to be content with who I am.  I give thanks for being able to spend my birthday with my family.  And thank you all who have sent birthday wishes my way!  I feel very loved!
