It's Here....

Tomorrow is the big day - my birthday! :) Typically I don't make a mention of my birthday; however, I'm kind of liking this new background that I found and can't use it but twice in a year - so here it is! So my birthday wish to my blog world is... show yourself! Leave me a message - who are you, where are you from? I know of about 3 people that actually pay attention to our blog page - so you know who you are!

To think... tomorrow I will be 27! Wow, I am half way to 54 (that's what Damon always says!). In tribute to myself... here are some of my thoughts of my 26th year of life:

~ This year I became an auntie and that is awesome!
~ My Parents: fire, scary, blessed, hard work, sacrifices, accomplishments, deeper love/respect
~ I'm never too old to do something stupid...
~ I'm never too old to learn from that something stupid and ask for forgiveness..
~ Blessed that God finds time in his busy schedule to make me laugh, show me how amazing life is & best of all: forgive my ridiculousness...
~ Damon: beyond understanding, always forgiving, great for a belly laugh, my best friend, my favorite person to find adventure with, sooo lucky!
~ I will make mistakes but they always bring great opportunity to grow...
~ Love is the strongest weapon.
~ Ned: bringer of joy, loyalty in a nutshell, forever lap dog & king of headbutts
~ Having a sense of humor is CRUCIAL for my life!
~ I feel blessed to live in Minnesota surrounded by family & friends!
~ May Auntie Helga always live within me!
~ No matter how old I get, Damon will always forget how old I am - love him for it! :) This year I'm only 25... yes!

In a nutshell, some day I might 'grow up' but don't hold your breath
because even though I turn older every year God made my spirit young.
