Well, it is that time of the year again. I like to take my birthday to be reflective and all about me. I blame my mother. Not only did she bring me into this world, but she threw great birthday parties for me.At 31, I know that I lead a quieter life than most. I do not go out on the town that much. I prefer to be at home with Tim. Rather than go out to eat on Saturday nights, I like to spend the late afternoon cooking something yummy for us and always with a dessert. Friday nights are even quieter with our ritual leftovers from the week and some television.
At 31, I am doing the job that I love to do. I am exhausted each day, but I leave knowing that I have put my all into those kindergarteners. Each day, I stop and get my coffee, drive to work while I listen to the news, and start my day with emails to friends.
At 31, I have a great relationship with my family. They've always respected my choices and my voice. No matter where I move or how far I am from the midwest, I keep those ties tight.
At 31, I have come to understand that you do not need friends less and less as we grow, but more and more. Thankfully, I have found friends who know this is true.
At 31, I am living with the funniest person that I know who accepts me for exactly who I am and never asks for me to change.

Happy Birthday Sara! I think that our thirties are going to be the best decade yet. Tell Tim it's "your day", you can do whatever you want to do.
Happy Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day! One day, I will be 30 too... and can join the best decade yet!
Enjoy "your day." But don't just wait until your birthday-- remember, any day can be your day! You just have to proclaim it-
Talk to you soon!

Happy belated b-day. Hope you did something fun to celebrate. My mom did b-days right too. This year for Noah's b-day I tried to live up to my mom and make a homemade ark-shaped cake. I am not the homemaker my mom was/is. But it tasted good and that's all that really matters. I love your midwestern rule by the way.
