Today is my birthday.
I'm now 28 years old. Which is kind of funny to me, because that's how old my husband was when I met him about six years ago. And he seemed so old to me (if I could write in a sarcastic font, that last statement would be in bold sarcastic) But really, it hits me as all kinds of funny. I hoped, but never really thought I'd be married, let alone would have two beautiful children by the time I turned 28.
With every year that passes I gain more understanding of the world around, and myself. I know more of what I believe in, what I stand for, I know my convictions. Could be kids, could be age, but today, I'm going to celebrate all that I believe in. Below are 28 things (in no particular order) that I know I believe in, wholeheartedly.
