Birthday!

It's my birthday today, and for the first time since about two years after I was married, I did not dread, feel depressed about, or hate the fact that I turned a year older. Feels sooooo good to not have to wake up and say, "Yet another birthday without kids." Don't know about the rest of you, but I was an enormous humbug about holidays, and especially birthdays. Last year on my birthday I was in Ukraine, and though the purpose of the trip was to get my kids, I still had not met them and they were not in my arms yet. I still rolled my eyes thinking, "Of course I have to wait for yet another birthday before I'll have my kids."

Just thought I'd share my happiness that finally the sunshine came out on my b-day! :O) (As well as some frosting as you can see!)
