Today is my birthday. Isn't it funny how as you get older holidays and birthdays and such lose their excitement and novelty. Yesterday I was thinking about it being my birthday, and unlike when I was little, their was no little leap of excitement and anticipation inside of me. I could only think about all of the things needing to be done today...3 classes to go to, reading for Thursday, grocery shopping, pick up car from the mechanic. Oh to be a grown up. Not to sound depressing...I do still enjoy birthdays and love the holidays, it's just funny how your perspective changes the older you get.
Steve has been so sweet and great at making my day feel special and making me feel loved and honored. He woke me up this morning whispering happy birthday in my ear, he surprised me with flowers and a love note, and he made me breakfast and coffee. I am looking forward to going out with him tonight as well. I think we're going to Bravo, my favorite Italian restaurant. He is so kind and thoughtful and I'm so glad to be able to spend this birthday with my best friend and love.
My parents also gave me some beautiful flowers as well. Steve dropped me off at their house this morning so I could borrow their car, and my dad came in with flowers for me. They are so sweet. I feel very blessed today. The Lord has given me so many good gifts.
Our car is being worked on right now. We can't seem to figure out what's wrong with it. It keeps dying on me..sometimes it doesn't start to begin with and sometimes it dies once it's already running. We've already had one guy do a diagnostic on it, and he couldn't find the problem. So another guy has had it since yesterday and he's doing a couple things to it that might fix it...but it's hard to tell. So pray for the car if you think of it. We're not sure what to do about it.
Hope you all have a happy Wednesday!
