Today is my birthday. I am 35. That sounds old. I can remember when my mom was 35. I was 10 and she didn't seem old to me. Now Chris is 10 and I feel old. But Soren told me this morning that I'm not old, so I'm going to go with that.
Today is all about me. But really it's not. Because when you're a mom, every day is about the people you are take care of and life just seems really busy and grown up birthdays don't seem like such a big deal. It's also not about me because I really feel like today I want to thank my parents. Thanks mom and dad for having me. Thanks for raising me and taking care of me. I now know it's not an easy job and I really appreciate that you didn't make me get out of the car and walk home (though the threats totally worked!) You are great parents and I love you. Today is about you, too, because you brought me to where I am.
Just because I feel like on my blog I can have a little "ME, ME, ME Time" I'm going to post a few pictures about a few things that make me happy. (Not necessarily meaningful and in no particular order):

These white pitchers that I love to collect.
This dish - a four generation family recipe - which I love to eat. (Rice patties)
These brothers who I got to live with for the first half of my life.
This man, who is my best friend and just a seriously super stud.

Happy Gaburtstag mein kinder...is that spelled right? We're glad we didn't throw you out of the car too. All the pics are terrific. Lucky us to have you for a daughter.
Happy Birthday Sam! Seeing your post made me realise we met shortly after we were ten! OMG!!! We must have been 11/12??
Hope you had a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday! I remember now that I always felt connected to you in some way because your birthday was on my half birthday- six months from my real birthday on August 8th. I never realized that you're only two years older than me. You always seemed so much more mature and infinitely cooler than me. Did you know I always wanted to be you when I was in high school? You were loved by all, a good girl, and beautiful on top of all that.
Hope you had a wonderful day!
Happy Happy Birthday Samantha, dear. Happy days will come to you all year. If I had one wish then it would be, a happy happy birthday to you from me!
Hope your day was fabulous!!
Happy Birthday, I love YOU
Those cookies look mighty tasty! Thanks for posting all the pictures of you and your beautiful family!

Happy Birthday!! We all need a great excuse for an "All About Me Day" and you found the perfect one. Hope you enjoyed your day!
Happy birthday Sammy! I agree with you completely in that you truly are blessed with great brothers! (;
We got the better end of the deal as we really couldn't ask for a better sister. Can't wait to see you in 6 days.
