31 on the 31st

I'm 31 now. Time flies by doesn't it? I mean, I look at C.J., and it seems like yesterday that Kory and Allen handed me the card for my birthday telling me that I was going to be an uncle...and that was 4 years ago now. I can still remember holding Ainsley for the first time when I moved back to Texas last summer...now she has already had her 1st birthday. And every time I see Rylee and Brayden, I can tell that they are growing faster than anyone wants them to.

It puts into perspective that you need to make sure you cherish the moments you have. Take time to spend time with the ones you love, and tell them that you love them. Even if that means being up at 3:30 in the morning and putting it on your blog.

It's always nice when people remember your birthday. Knowing that they are thinking about you, and they take time out of what they have going on to let you know they are thinking about you gives me a wonderful feeling. People ask "what do you want for your birthday?" I never have an answer for that, because I try not to get wrapped up in material things. But now I know what I want for my birthday every year...even if it's in the middle of the night. : )

So another year starts, and even though I didn't have any candles in my cake this year, I made a wish. And I have always heard that if you tell your wish, then it won't come true. So I will keep it to myself, but it's nice how parts of the wish come true so quickly.
