Past My Prime??

I have to ask, "Have I Passed My Prime?". I've heard from several places that a women peaks mentally & physically at 24. I like to look at it like a plato after that. Truth is after 24 I did started to fall apart. I didn't have my first surgery till after 24, then I ended up having 3 in two year. I did however avoid surgery this last year... YEAH for me. So is it true... will things just get worse? I refuse to give in, I will fight this aging thing head on. For those of you who are older than me, don't you wish you would have tried to freeze your 20's? Don't act like I am still just a baby, a ridiculous baby to think that I getting old... I think I am just a step ahead.

28, I am really 28 now! Where did the last few years go. Crazy how time flies, time flies when you are having fun, Right? What is next? Well I can confidently say some of the best times of my life are behind me and tons more are waiting on this side of 28. This next year is going to be eventful I am sure. It is weird when you can look at the next year of your life and it appears to be planned out...
Thanksgiving: Home for the holidays & Cailees birthday
December: Too busy to enjoy the holidays... sleep for a week in January to make up for it
Spring Work like mad to train my replacement....
May: Graduation
Summer: Some important weddings & I am sure a vacation in there. NEW JOB, NEW HOME, NEW LIFE?!?

Where will I be celebrating 29? Here, there or somewhere I didn't even think of?! This year out of any is the most uncertain. I can't decide what I want. Well it really isn't up to me is it. I can't figure out what God has planned... So I will make the best of this year to look anxiously toward the future.

What did I do to celebrate my birthday? Well the night before without giving you the whole story... I didn't get to bed until about 1 am working on stuff for work so I could even have the next day off. Sometimes it really sucks when you are the only one who does your job. Birthday day I woke up so so tired that I just wanted to keep sleeping but I had signed up to bring refreshments to my mom's group I go to. No Jessica, No Food... but I still had to go to the store. So up and ready early to make it on time. The mom's group was nice, I love all the other mom's at my table... this group is such a blessing to me. So once I was there it was all good. They asked what my plans were for the day, my simple response "A Nap".

Came home and was starting to get grumpy due to the lack of sleep. I go to bed at 1 am often but after all that work it ended up being like a 11-12hr day. It was just exhausting. I took a nap while we were waiting for Jeff & Shea to arrive. I woke up from my nap with a headache... Really this is my day? I want a special day, not my everyday! We had a nice time with Jeff & Shea. Wesley I guess still had to get me a present since Levi had been so busy the days before. So they all went to the store. I had some quiet time, what did I do? Dusted & Vacuumed... Happy Birthday To Me!... really it felt better to rest then. We went to dinner, Jeff made me a cake and we all watched a movie. So it ended fine. We won't see Jeff for many months so it was a great treat to hang out with him!

Sunday however I had planned a dinner get together with all my friends down here. I was very much looking forward to a night out with Levi, without Wesley. Wesley is a great and usually pretty good in restaurant but I wanted to celebrate and not worry about what things he is finding to put in his mouth... Let someone else worry about that:)!... We are dressed and ready and go to walk out the door. Where is Maggie? A fence post was loose and she had gotten out. GREAT! Whenever this happens it takes hours to get her back! Levi jumped in my car to go look around. It is now 5:30, reservation is at 6:30 at a restaurant about 45 minutes away. At 6:00 I message everyone saying I am going to be late. Wesley and I go out to look for Maggie. I instructed him to follow me in the house to the door so we could go look for Maggie. He turned around and grabbed one of her toys before we headed out... so so cute!!!! Him and I walked up and down the street taking turns calling her name. Levi comes back by the house at 6:30 and I tell him I am just going to cancel... he said that was really rude and that I should still go. He had a point but I really wanted Levi to go though! So I thought about it and decided that was the best thing. So finally got to the restaurant close to 7:30. Everyone was really understanding. I really enjoyed the dinner, I could have enjoyed it more with Levi there though. Who goes to their birthday dinner without a date? We had delicious sushi though!! YUM! I will be taking Levi back even though it is a drive for us... it is worth it! I had a great time with my Sacramento friends, all the different groups got to meet. The Redding Sacramentoians & the born & raised here crowd... it was nice. It is always a little funny to get different groups together but it worked out wonderfully.

So all in all looking back, celebrating 28 was alright. It could have been worse. I got to see some really special people & people made me feel really special!

P.S. Maggie came home hours later... that is the annoying thing about her. We rarely find her, she just comes home! Still you can't just leave her out and go about your day. We have to make sure she is home safe. Levi enjoyed his take out sushi.
