a good day

yesterday was my 44th birthday.

i feel like i'm lying by writing that last sentence, because in so many ways, i don't feel old enough to already be 44. it almost feels like pretending to be a grown up, which, coincidentally, is how i feel mostly anyways!

but regardless of exactly how many april 19th's i have seen, it was a most fabulous day. from the balloons and streamers outside my door when i left for work, to the many happy birthday wishes from friends and family of all sizes, to cupcakes and coffee, to Cold Stone Creamery ice cream, to cherry cobbler delivered to my door, to the best small group in the world... one thing is most certain: i am the most blessed girl ever.

{and yes, even at 44, i still think of myself as just a girl!}
