28 on the 28th...

After many months of being in DENIAL I did in fact turn 28 on the 28th! Yes I still feel like I just graduated from High School and Yes I am still offended when the high school bagger boys at the grocery store call me MAM (sp?) and Yes my baby will be going to kindergarten in the fall and Yes the kids I use to babysit are now in college! How is this possible? I just turned 18-right? No, that was 10 years ago! I may in fact still be in denial that I'm now much closer to 30 than 20, but I just keep telling myself that you're only as old as you feel. The bad news is that most days I feel 100!

The big day actual turned out OK. The day started off with my dad trying to have a heart attack and being transferred to UVRMC. After several test they determined that it wasn't a heart attack, but a electrical problem that could be easily fixed. We were already planning on going up north for the day so we spent some time at the hospital before going to Olive Garden to eat with my mom. We then took her back to the hospital and then headed to the mall. Casey let me buy some cute shirts and a belt at GAP. He always spoils me and I rarely get him anything for his. This year is his 30th and I'm really going to try to have him a present. We then went and picked up the kids so we could head home. It was a good day and Casey tried his hardest to make me happy on such a depressing day. *side note* my Dad ended up have heart surgery by Dr. Hwang the next day and did really well and came home that night. They sent a tiny sensor up two arteries and placed it by his heart. The sensor then read his rhythm and determined what was wrong. It then fixed the rhythm by doing an ablation. It's way over my head, but I'm thankful for modern medicine!

The good news is that everyone keeps saying that by me turning 28 on the 28th that it makes this my best year! Wahoo for Old Wise Tells! Anyway, since this is suppose to be the BEST Year I decided to make a list of things I'm going to accomplish this year. One of the only good things about having a January birthday is that you can make New Years Resolutions and Birthday Resolution in the same list....so here it goes!
