26

I turned 26 this past Thursday (May 15th) and I think this was the first birthday that I wasn't really all that thrilled about. I had really enjoyed being 25 and all the wonderful things that it held. Don't get me wrong 25 was also the hardest year yet. There were a lot of financial and career decisions that were tough - but worth it - and our marriage is in its 3rd year which is finally feeling like we "know" each other beyond that new married state. PLus two kids in two years really "jump started things" LOL. Wouldn't change it for the world.

Anyways; I was truely blessed this year for my birthday. Jason really stepped up and took initiative and had the whole evening planned. He arranged for my dad and Sherrie to come over to watch the kiddos. We then had a quick bite to eat before heading off to a mystery location...The movies. I know that that might sound a little "teenagerish" - but how often to we get to go to the movie theaters alone?? Knowing that the kind of movies I like, he had pre-bought our movie tickets to see Narnia: Prince Caspian on opening day!!

The movie was awesome and the only problem was there was a glitch in the film reel . It was an adventurous scene and then everything just stopped and the lights came on!! Looking back it was kinda funny - a sort of intermission to the whole thing- just at the wrong time. We came home and the kids were in bed and asleep. Such a wonderful evening. So far being 26 is alright. I guess I'll give it a few more weeks to grow on me...
