Happy birthday to me.
I turned 28 today. I don't usually feel old on my birthdays, but today I do. Maybe it's because I have two kids. Maybe it's because I have wrinkles on my face and am seriously looking into anti-aging skincare. Maybe it's because my sister who is ten years younger than I am just started college. Whatever the reason, 28 feels old.
Today was an amazing day. More family members remembered my birthday this year than any other year. It always makes me feel good to get a text, call, e-mail or message on my birthday.
This year, though, the prize goes to Ben. He has outdone himself. Last night I was putting the dishes away and found this:
So beautiful.
I was so excited, I love nice sparkly things. The best part, I was completely surprised, I didn't even have to hint.
I got come chocolate covered cherries from Harry and David's from my sister, and my parents sent me a gift certificate for some clothes. I was living the good life today.
Thanks everyone for a fabulous birthday!

P.S. If you feel old now, just wait until you're about to turn 33! I clipped anti-aging coupons today, so you are not alone in the wrinkle department ;-)

You're a lucky duck...Im not sure Matt knows what Tiffany's is! As for aging, I use Olay products, not that you need them! I keep turning 22 every year but they are for preventative use OK! Happy Birthday:)
