I am turning 33 today.
Not the most exciting birthday in the world, but Jesus and I have something nice in common now. :-)
I have started getting grey hairs this past year.
I still have blemishes and wrinkles appearing at the same time.
I have 2 beautiful children through the gift of adoption that I wouldn't trade for the world.
I feel wiser than I did in my 20's.
Whenever I take a step back and look at my life I think "You're crazy girl, but you done good. You really done good."
I am healthy .
Unless you count the flab-o-liscious-ness around my waistline.
I feel financially stable and never worry where my meals are coming from.
It's usually from Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, so that's always nice. :-)
My kids are both beautiful, sweet and also very healthy.
David's and my family are both awesome.
I've learned to let things go that don't matter - like a perfectly clean house and a fight that has no purpose with my hubby.
I see my relationship with Jesus in a new way each year that I grow and learn from Him.
My eyes seem to be losing a little bit of their proud 20/20 vision.
I have yet to have my dream garden that I boast of doing every single year.
I have come to love blogging and sharing my life with an online community.
I haven't read The Shack, but I am starting it today.
I feel tired more than I feel energized.
My kids make me feel challenged and excited about life.
Being a mother is the hardest job I've ever done.
I am going to enjoy 33 because, by golly, when I turn 35 - I know I have 5 years left before the next dreaded number.
Seriously? I am too young to be talking about 40.
Better go put some eye cream on and color those greys.

Happy Happy Birthday, Kara Lynn Dawn! I think you are awesome! And I do not buy into your rhetoric of never attaining your fantasy garden....that is not the organizational genius of a Kara that I know and love. This is your year, girl! Own it. :) Miss you and love you! Sue
