I turned 25 this year, on May 25th. It was weird being away from my triplet sisters for the first time on our birthday. I'm usually with at least one of them. Secretly, I was hoping I would get to fly to Hawaii and spend our birthday together like last year. Even though that didn't happen, I was happy to celebrate with my adorable baby boy and amazing husband.
It's funny, all I really wanted for my birthday was to go to Chili's (lame). I am always craving their chocolate lava cake for dessert- mmmmm! I got what I wanted and spent a low-key day with my family. Drew's mom and sister were also in town and were kind enough to watch Van while Drew and I had some alone time.
I was talking to my husband and we decided each birthday is sort of a chance to start over. Just like on New Years, we can set new goals. This year I want to be more aware. I want to be aware of the sort of example I am setting for my son.
So here's to 25 years! I thought celebrating my birthday by myself like a "normal" person was something I was missing out on. Turns out the only thing missing was my sisters. Birthdays are a lot cooler when you get to share. Maybe next year!
For some reason that last picture is my absolute favorite... you are such an awesome mommy!
