I’m 26 today. Well, technically I’m still 25, as I wasn’t born until 4:57pm, but I don’t know of anyone who waits to acknowledge and celebrate their birthday until the moment of the day when they were born, so to hell with that — I’m 26! Ahh! I don’t know if I like being 26. That means being closer to 30 than 20. Before I know it I’ll be 30. Ugh. Although I suppose I shouldn’t complain too much, seeing as how Dan turned 28 in April! Sheesh… we got old.
We’re a long way away from the days of baby shower games, that’s for sure!
It’s weird to be 26. My mom was 26 when she had me, and here I am with a five year old who will be six in October, and a three year old who will be four next month (that reminds me — note to self: buy birthday party invitations!). In some ways it does sort of suck that when Dan and I did settle down with our own place and a bit more financial stability we couldn’t really enjoy ourselves as a couple like others do, because we have two small children. But on the flip side, we do get to go out every now and again, and when they’re older and in high school and then college we’ll only be in our mid-30s! Whoo hoo! I am very much looking forward to attending my daughter’s high school graduation when I’m only 38 myself.
So yes, it’s my birthday. Happy Birthday to me! ♥
