it was my birthday this week.
i used to love birthdays but, ever since i have been in my twenties, i find them pretty depressing.
this birthday was especially depressing because it was my last in my twenties.
next time i mourn celebrate a birthday, i will be 30.
which, for some odd reason, makes me super bummed.
oh well, nothing i can do to fix that.
i suppose i will just have to make every day i have left in my twenties really count!
on my birthday, jocelyn invited me over for a lunch/play date.
my friend, leiah, came too.
it was fun to get together, catch up, and watch our kids play.
that night, matt and i both had youth activities at the church, so we didn't do any celebrating.
but our activities were together that night so at least we still got to hang out.
the very next day, matt organized a babysitter and took me out for dinner and treated me to some nice gifts.
after dinner, we headed home to dig into the tasty cake chet and holden made for me!
yep, that's right.. chet and holden were in charge of my cake this year.
the day after my birthday, chet asked me why i didn't have a cake.
i jokingly told him that it was because he didn't make me one!
and then, instantly, he wanted to make one for me.
he chose the cake flavor (chocolate - i absolutely would have picked vanilla!) and frosting color (pink - one of my least favorite colors!), and i got those all ready for him.
then i sat the boys down with the cake, frosting, and all the decorating supplies i could round up.
they had 100% free reign on the decorating and, boy, did they ever take advantage of that!
in the end, there was an unhealthy amount of sprinkles on that cake.
and when it came time to actually eat the cake, even our boys weren't very interested!
oh well, i still thoroughly enjoyed watching them try to make something beautiful for me. so fun.
my birthday also marked 1 year since we returned to calgary.
i wonder how many more years we have here..?
