Today I turned 28... boy, that sounds old! At least to me, who I never thought I'd get older than 25, ever! It's funny, when you're a kid you get so excited about your birthday, but now I'm getting to the point where I'm dredding it. I'm going to turn 30 our last year here in Indy, which makes me depressed.
So, getting older makes me reflect and think about my life. Am I doing what I want to be doing with my life, and have I accomplished what I wanted to by now? After taking some quiet time to myself (thanks to my husband for watching the kids while I took a peaceful bubble bath) I decided that I really am truly happy with my life and the way things are going. True, dental school has been the hardest thing to go through as a mother of two. But other than that part, I am glad to say that I am genuinely happy about my life and the choices I have made. I still have lots to learn and things I need to improve myself on. Yet, I have blessed in so many ways, and I know I have a lot of life yet to come, so to the years ahead and getting older: bring it on!
Thanks to some of my girlfriends here who took me out to lunch and gave me flowers. I LOVE them, they really brightened up my day (and my kitchen). And thanks to my family and friends for all the cards, packages, phone calls and texts. You guys really do know how to make a girl feel loved!

I hope you had a great birthday, Jamie! It must be really hard being a mom of two while the hubby's in dental school. I really admire the fact that your blog is always upbeat and positive, though. Not that there's anything wrong with an occasional expression of other feelings, but you're setting a great example. Again, happy 28th!
I am glad you had a good birthday and that you have good friends all the way over there to take good care you! I am proud of you Jamers and I hope to be the kind of mom that you are. You are amazing
Happy Birthday to you!! Doesn't college seem like yesterday...yet it wasn't! Time flies seriously!
So glad your day was special, because you're pretty dang special yourself. Love you bunches.
Hope you had a good day. Don't worry, I am right there behind you (27 in August). It doesn't seem real does it???
Happy Birthday, Jamie!! I just turned 27 a few days ago, and I was starting to feel old. I like what you said about how you were truly happy with the choices you've made, etc. It made me think about my own life. I'm glad you had a great day!
