Its My Birthday!

Ha!

I am totally not above telling everyone its my birthday!! Why not?? 

Anyways...

So far it is a very relaxed day here, my daughter kept me up all night and now she is sleeping soundly... so when she wakes up, my Dad and I (and she) will go out to brunch! I just can't wake a sleeping baby, even on my birthday! 

So, while I wait, here are some things I want to do before my next birthday:

-Learn how to crochet & knit

-Start watercolor painting again

-Clean out my storage locker

-Plan for the future

-Visit my extended family and stay in contact

-Take a dance class

-Reclaim my indentity

-Finish my scrapbooks

-Paint unpainted furniture

-Remember other people's birthdays

-Cook more, especially vegan

-Have a job (I wish etsy counted, but it doesn't)

Taking a look back, this year has definitely been the most life-changing year of my life! Of course it was, because I had a child! But a year ago today I never would have seen myself here. NEVER. Last year if you had told me that in a year I would get pregnant, break up with my boyfriend, leave Milwaukee, leave all my friends, give up dancing,  move in with my parents and have my baby, I would have asked for some of what you were smoking. (Except maybe for the boyfriend part, because I wasn't happy with him even then.) But now here I am! And I am sooooo much better than I was last year. I am so thankful for everything that has happened because it was all meant to be!

Here's Proof:
