Me and Maegan (best friends for over 19 years!!!)Two weeks ago I hesitantly celebrated my 29th birthday :-) And when I say hesitantly I really mean I was drug kicking and screaming into being one year older. As much as I tried to tell myself it was just another birthday, it really was hard to accept that I was one year older and still do not feel that I am any closer to what I desire so much: a husband and a family of my own. Yet at the same time it was such a wonderful celebration!!
On my actual birthday, I went out to dinner with some of my closest friends and my sister Karoline. We had a fun dinner at Outback (one of my favorite restaurants!!) and then went back to Kar's apartment for cake and presents :-) Then on Friday on my way home to Greensboro, I stopped in Durham for birthday lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and a movie with some of my favorite work girls.
On Friday night my mom cooked an amazing dinner, all my 'in town' siblings came as well as my best friend Maegan and her two little boys and her parents. She was in town from Virginia Beach which was awesome!!! It was a fun and very relaxing time at home with no where to be and nothing to do except hang out. And of course getting some kisses and cuddles from my niece and nephews were just an added bonus :-)
One of the best parts of the weekend was on Saturday afternoon when my sister Erin, her husband Michael and their little boy Riley came over after the NC State game. When they came in Michael was holding Riley and I kept wondering why he had a Carolina blue t-shirt on when they had been at a State game. But when he put Riley down I was able to read the shirt and it said "I'm a big brother". It took a few minutes but I looked at Erin and she started squealing that they had finally gotten their adoption referral after a long 20 months of waiting. And to add even more surprise the new baby is a girl!!! Another niece!!! I can't wait. She is six months old and should be here in just a couple of short months from Korea!!!
