I am 27.

When I hear out loud the words "I am 27" it is starting to sound old to me.  what the heck?  Where did the time go???  I still feel so young but the numbers just keep creeping up there.  I married a man one year younger than me too so it doesn't make me feel any younger...how come I am the one who has to reach 30 first??  Well since Brynn has been born life as been a blur.  I can't believe I have an 8 month old already!  WOW!  It's crazy!  It really does not feel like that much time has gone by.  With being a mommy, a photographer, having 2 callings at church and now with Russ in the Elders quorum and working, it seems like life is just flying by me!

Well for my birthday this year I went out with Russ on a date on Friday, went shopping on Saturday, had dinner at my moms house on Sunday and then dinner with Russell's parents on Monday.  So I had a big birthday weekend!  Russ kept telling me "It's not your birthday yet" and I would respond "It's my birthday weekend!!"  I am big on birthday but my expectations have come down a big since we are so busy.  But Russ still knows I expect SOMETHING.

This year he was real sweet.  He made me waffles in the shape of my new age.  I loved it.  He aslo made my favorite cake, funfetti!!!  And I also go a new but old (antique) typewriter!  I have been wanting one for a while for a decoration/prop for photoshoots and I love the one I got!  It's old and rusty, just how I like it.  (This is still blog catch up....my birthday is in May?.....I am getting OLD.

And of course I had to take some pictures of sweet Brynn on my birthday morning.  her face just makes me happy!  (this was before she was crawling.  I love when they can sit up but not crawl yet...)
