A Great Birthday Present...

So today is my 32nd Birthday, and reflecting on this day I feel very blessed. I have a wonderful family, a great husband and two beautiful healthy babies. I use to dread the idea of "growing up". I am now older, broker and weigh more than I ever have - all things I use to define myself by, however I can honestly say I am happier now than I have have ever been.

Today Michael wrote me a very sweet pledge to me to promise to quit "chewing" for my birthday. He knows how important it is for me to have him with me for the long haul, and how I have been worried about his health. This is the best present I could have asked for. I could not imagine waking each morning without him next to me, or missing seeing how he looks at the babies and how they look at and admire him. I am especially happy that he is doing this on his own terms, and not because either me or some doctor is pressuring him. I am very proud of him pledging this goal to me, I know it will not be easy. And yes, I reminded him that you can't "take back presents once you give them" so I hope this is for the long haul. I especially warmed at the mention that one reason he is doing it is because he can't kiss me without a bottom lip, which is someting he wouldnt ever want to give up. It made my day :)

I also am very excited about my Ergo carrier I have been pining for from my parents, my beautiful necklace and my ipod itrip from Erica. Moreover, it has been touching to hear from the many, many people who have taken time out to get in touch today for send me happy wishes. I feel very loved and blessed to have so many people who care so much.

I am one lucky gal :)
