LovEng Life: Golden B-Day!

I turned twenty-seven on the 27th of May. Yikes! That's means in three more years, I will reach the dirty thirties! (No offense to those that are older)! It's one of those things you never think of, growing old. You see elderly people and it's difficult to imagine they were once held by their young moms that kissed their rosy and chubby cheeks when they were babies. When I see old people, I assume they've always been that old. The young stay young and the old stay old, does that make sense? Anyhow, I've always thought I'd remain as a rambunctious teenager. Never thought I'd be old enough to attend college, get married and have children. In a blink of an eye, I did surpass twenty. Early twenties wasn't too bad. I was old enough to gain my parents' trust but still young enough to be adventurous and at times, rebellious. I loved every second of my early twenties because I had the freedom to concentrate on myself and explore. That all ended two years ago when I turned 25. It was a difficult year to begin with, but the fact that I was actually in my mid twenties... not happy. I remember crying for a good hour that day- still in college without a boyfriend and with a very bleak future ahead. And here I am now, lovEng every day of my life. How life has changed.

I loved every second of my birthday. Can I just say I married the most amazing man alive? David spoiled me rotten for three whole days and I absolutely loved it. Scrumptious meals; steak and hotpot; tasty desserts; lavish gifts; and overwhelming love. He lied to me about having to work on Memorial Day but when we woke up he rolled over and bestowed me with love and gifts. We ate the most expensive dinner ever (thanks to a generous gift card) and Bruges Waffles! (Bruges Waffles, across from Pioneer Park will change your life!!!) B-day also included a mouth-watering breakfast by the husband. (This rarely happens folks!) I wish every day was my birthday! No cooking, cleaning, and slaving away at work. heehee~

Yes, I admit, the gifts, flowers, and chocolates I received. And ooh, the surprise b-day party he mischievously planned was great too! But, what I loved and appreciated most was he truly did his best to make it the best day for me. Moreover, I was lucky enough to spend my b-day weekend with the people I love. Spending my golden b-day with the ones I love, can I get any luckier? I truly believe Heavenly Father sends us the people we need. I think of each individual person in my life and realize that I am what I am because of not only the choices I make but also the people in my life. How giving, loving, and just our Heavenly Father is. I thank Him with all my heart for sending me so many angels that brighten my life each day. The written language cannot express the love and gratitude I felt for my husband, my sister, and all my friends during this weekend. I especially want to thank my mother, the woman who should truly receive all the congratulating rather than myself. She is the one who gave life to me and had strong faith that I would live a long and healthy life. And, here I am, living and lovEng life as she believed
