Sunny 9 for 2006 August 31

At least yesterday, anyway. I am officially a quarter century old. Sounds old to me. I guess you could classify my age in the mid-20's now. It sounds so adult. I think next year will be even more strange since I will be "over the hill" for the 20's. Hmmm, I have been out of high school for 7 years. I guess I am where I thought I would be back then. Married with one or two kids. In fact as I recall, I wanted to have all my kids (4-5) by the time I was 30 because I didn't want to have them in my 30's so I could lose the baby fat easier. Nice. Well according to that I am far behind because baby #3 is not coming for another 4 years. I don’t think I want 3 kids while we are still in dental school, not to mention I am not sure I want 3 kids at all (half joking). In all fairness, I do want 3 kids; I just wish it was not so hard to get the kids here.

Enough about kids, now onto my birthday. It was a good day. I received lots of emails, IM's, phone calls, myspace comments, blog comments, and gifts unexpectantly. It is nice to know people remembered and care. Aaron surprised me with a gift certificate for a massage...just what the doctor ordered as I am getting sore from being large and in charge. He also took me to dinner and I was totally fine with Lily coming but my visiting teacher insisted that I drop Lily off to watch her. It was nice for us because we got to spend time alone, and when we went to pick Lily up, she had so much fun with her girls that she didn't want to leave. That girl is not afraid to leave me; she has quite the social life.

Aaron gave Lily and bath and dressed her for bed; it is nice to be able to say, "you do it, it is my birthday". And we topped the night off with the movie The Rundown with The Rock. I can't say I loved the movie but it was better than expected.

I am very excited for Saturday as we are going to Cheesecake Factory for dinner with the Smith trio couples, and Lorna is going to baby-sit. Plus dinner at mom's on Sunday with the family to celebrate. Overall, it was a good year to me.
