Today is my birthday. Normally, I am depressed by my birthday. Usually it's just another reminder that I am older, that my eggs are older, and that my chances of becoming a mother are slimmer. But not today. Today I am happy. I am blessed. I have a great life, and soon (Oh Dear God, PUHLEASE let it be soon) we'll be starting the adoption process. I am SO ready to be a mom. So. Ready. Well, I think I'm ready which I'm sure is much different than actually being ready.
So tomorrow when we pick up and pack away to a cabin in the woods, I will use that time to reflect on the last year, and to hope and pray for the pitter patter of tiny feet in the new one. I'm older, and hopefully wiser, and much more at peace with my life than I was even months ago. It's amazing what one (seemingly) small decision can make in your life.
So, today is indeed, a HAPPY Birthday!
Have a happy day!

Hey Karla! Happy belated birthday! Thank you so much for your comment on my blog. I'm eager to follow your adoption story, fascinated by Alaska, and interested to hear which agency's packet we were a part of (was it our story through the agency or the Parents Mag article with us included?).
Have a wonderful birthday weekend!
Hey Laurie! Thank you for visiting! It must have been the Parents Mag article. It was just a photo copy of several different types of adoption, and their success stories. :) Have a happy day! (I have another blog under my profile that's all about our Alaska adventures).
