It's My Birthday!!!

It’s my birthday and I’ll laugh if I want to, laugh if I want to! You would laugh too if happened to youuuuu!!! J

Hello there empty space! Today I turn 31. Wow… I never could picture myself turning 31, not that I pictured myself dying early, but I always tried to push the thought of my thirties out of my head. Now I’m here and I’m happy happy happy! Why?

2008 was a very rough year for me. I had a lot of downs but while in those low moments I always had my family and friends reach down and help me get back up. As stubborn as I was in sometimes refusing help, they insisted and were always there. In my planning of my informal birthday celebration at my fave bar these last few weeks I have also realized how lucky I am. A couple of months ago I did not want to celebrate my birthday this year. I wanted it to go by unnoticed by everyone. I guess it was me hating the idea of getting deeper into the Thirty-something pool. Then I realized that what I love about my birthday every year is that I get to spend time with my closest friends and also friends I usually don’t see or keep in touch with on a regular basis. That’s when I decided that I would spend my birthday at my favorite bar and whoever wanted to join me was welcome. So here I am today – Dec. 26^th and so far I have about 25 RSVP’s. I have also received tons of wonderful phone calls and text messages. My two awesome friends Yaz and Weenie are making sure I’m properly fed. Yaz is coming to downtown (cuz I’m working today) and taking me out to lunch. Weenie is taking me out to breakfast tomorrow. Yummmm!!!

Thank you to the Friendship Gods and Family Gods for blessing me with such wonderful people in my life. How can you not believe in God when you are surrounded by the best family and the best friends a person could ask for? Yup, not possible.

Today I am bursting with love for my family, friends, and God.
