I thought I had changed a lot since I was sixteen.

I don’t stand awkwardly in corners wishing I could just leave. (most of the time)

I don’t care so much about everybody liking me. (maybe)

I can’t really think of a big list of things right now but I would like to think I have grown up a little bit at least.

Imagine my surprise when I realized what I had asked for on my 28th birthday was the same thing I wanted on my 16th!

A cabin in the woods.

Maybe I had it together more then I thought.

“Mommy we got you a surprise, it is a card.”

The best kind of surprise is the one a little one has told you.

“You are going to share your cake, right?”

Nice people always share their cake.

Leaves were made to be thrown.

“Are we going to the cabin yet?”

I am glad I am not the only one that loves a cabin.

“Can we eat yet?”

Skipping breakfast to see elk is apparently not a 3 and 5yr olds idea of a good time.

Water, a boys best friend.

I spent a whole weekend exploring Arkansas with my three favorite men.

That is what I call a great birthday.
