29 Years Young

I officially entered the last year of my twenties at 6:21am (right, mom?). I don't feel any different than I did at twenty-eight and now I'm just wondering what the big 3-0 is going to feel like. Will I feel different then?

I have done a lot of growing up in my twenties and have been blessed so many times over. I fell in real love in my twenties, became a wife, made many new friends, traveled (yes, only in the U.S. but still counts as travel!), became a mother, became friends with my sister, grown a greater appreciation for my mom, returned to college, forgave, and lived in NYC. All in my twenties. Just to name a few, in no particular order.

To celebrate the last year of my twenties am I going to continue to grow, so that when I am officially not in my twenties anymore I can quickly adapt to my thirties (eek!) and be a real grown up.

Ok, enough with that stuff. I had a great birthday with great friends, and of course, Jason and the boys. I could not have asked for a better day. Well, really I could have...having my mom and sister to spend the day with would have been the icing on the cake. But I had my best friend and Coastie family with me so the day was great.

Here's to 29 years...they've been great!

Nursery School Graduation

Today was Jase's nursery school graduation. The kids sang the songs they've sang all year long, recited the books of the bible, Psalms 23, and shapes and everything else you can think of. It's amazing the information 4 year olds can retain.

Here are a couple pics...

Receiving his diploma

The graduate!

Did you think I'd make a post like this one without getting sentimental??? Ha! I did get choked up while putting the cap and gown on my little man. I got choked up when he was walking in with his class. I got choked up when his name was announced, he received his diploma, and took a bow towards the audience. I got choked up when he closed his eyes to pray. Basically I had a lump in my throat the entire ceremony. Yes, I know it's just nursery school but it seems like yesterday he looked like this...

Time flies.

Dad's Day Out

Occasionally the boys and I let Jason out of the house and venture into the city...alone, without us. It's only fair he gets his turn because he is such a great husband (he 'lets' me go into the city without him quite often) and a wonderful dad.

On his day into the city, which was in April, he got to go to the NFL Draft. Yeah so he had to go in uniform and with a bunch of other Coasties, he still got to meet famous people!

Here is Jason with the Commissioner of the NFL who's name I cannot remember right now. Guess I could Google...or not. :)

This next one is for all you Texas Longhorn fans...

Jason and Mack Brown. Jason's life is complete now that he got to meet a coach from the BIG 12!! LS who?? Kidding, kidding!

And finally the highlights of Jason's day at the Draft...

Cheerleaders...

And...

Yes, that would be Alyssa Milano from Who's The Boss? Pretty awesome, right? I have to admit I was a little jealous that Jason met all these people in one day AND on his first event of this kind. I had met my first famous person just the day or two before.

Jason enjoyed his day out. Tomorrow he takes in a Yankee's game with the guys. Enjoy babe!
