I'm not excited about being 31. I'm glad that I'm no longer on an even number, but for some reason that I'm still not exactly sure of I'm not feeling great about 31. I know it will be a good year in general, but this number is bothering me. Maybe it's because I'm no longer just 30 and am officially IN my 30's? I don't know. But I wasn't excited for my birthday and wasn't really wanting to "celebrate" at all. But it was a good day - and a gorgeous one at that! I got to start it out by seeing a few friends who I haven't seen in much too long at Megan's baby shower. I always get sad when we come to Portland now and I realize that she and little A are no longer just around the block from Jim and Laurie's, so I was super excited that I would actually get to see her this trip. She looks beautiful, as always, and it was so fun to see her open all of the super girly girl gifts for that sweet baby. Nika made the trip down, which was another gift today - it was a short catch-up, but I'll take that over nothing any day!
When I got back from the shower, Kevin and I left for a movie and dinner. We went to Oz - The Great and Powerful. I wouldn't recommend spending the money to see that one in the theater. About half-through Kevin turned to me and said, "this really isn't very good" and my response was, "it's terrible." It picked up a little at the end ... but overall we were not impressed. But even though the movie bordered on sucking it was still nice to get the chance to hang out just the two of us. We then went out for a quick bite to eat before heading back to the house. We capped the night off by watching both of the Central Catholic basketball teams play in the State Championship games. What a cool night for the Rams. The girls finally got that win that the program has been chasing for so long. Sandy has done so many amazing things and she finally got that title top it all off. Such a proud day for anyone who has gone through her program, is currenty part of the program, or supported the program from any angle. The boys fell a little short, but still have so much to be proud of making it to the final game - 2nd in the state is a huge feat. GO RAMS!
I was about to call it a night and jumped on the computer for a minute only to find a rush of birthday messages in both my email and facebook accounts. I'm sure that everyone would have remembered my birthday and sent me messages even if facebook hadn't reminded them :) I definitely felt the love, though, even if it was only a moment of thought coming my way - it does take a few seconds to actually acknowledge those birthday reminders and send a note. So thank you immensely to everyone who sent some love my way. I felt it. And to those who even made the effort to make a quick phone call - thank you even more. I love you!
I'm not a fan of turning 31. But it was a good day to have it happen.
