a simple 29

Emily turns 29 ...
and highlights include
waking up to birthday decorations, cards & gifts
gluten-free chocolate cupcakes (a surprise from David!)
dinner out with my hubby (and dessert!)
thoughtful gifts, cards & messages from my family and friends

I'm so happy where I am in my life right now: a busy, tired, much-loved mother and wife. With the exceptions of [improved] health this year and more time with family, there's nothing I want or need. I feel richly blessed.

As someone advised me yesterday, "you need to live up your twenties because once you turn 30 everything changes." Wise words, but I'm planning on good times from 29 and beyond!
