C'est ma fete aujourd'hui!!

There have consistently been sunny skies on my birthday... it's probably just the time of year, but I like to think that it's just for me. :)

I got up at 5 this morning so I could maximize my birthday time... haha, also to do yoga, and it was great. It's so easy in the morning for your brain to trick you into going back to sleep, even when at night you are determined not to let it happen. Today as I was putting on my shorts and rolling out my mat my brain was screaming "noooo, go back to bed!" But my body refused to listen and just kept going and it turned out to be a wonderful start to a wonderful day.

When your birthday is mid-week, it seems as though you end up having more of a birthday week than just one day to celebrate, who really wants to let loose on a Tuesday? This past weekend (check out the photos here!) was a bit of a birthday celebration, and then last night we went to Laura and Jeremy's for a delicious dinner. We're headed to the Lopez Island Jugglefest this weekend and I'm looking forward to camping there.

Tonight Luke and I will most likely spend a nice evening at home and cook up a few of my favourite things for dinner. I must say I've been spoiled too.... a new jacket from Luke, some dishes from mom and dad and some pretty earrings from Laura. And it's not even 10am!

I felt old for the first time on a birthday today... I'm closer to 30 now than I am to 20, but really it's our society today that values youth so much. I don't mind getting older, really why should I resist it? There's nothing I can do and it only causes grief to refuse to accept something I have no control over. Bring it on! I have a feeling this is going to be another great year. :)
