A Year Older...

Yesterday I turned 31 years old...Yes 31! D told me that I don't look it at all (smile) I am blessed to see another year. I am sure there is something that I know this year that I did not know last year. I am just so thankful for God's grace and guidance and His countless blessings in my life. I am very thankful for my family and friends that He has placed in my life.

I do know that this year has brought a wonderful blessing and joy in my life...her name is Nyla (smile). I was actually pregnant with Nyla on my last birthday, but I did not know it at the time (I actually found out 4 days later)...what a pleasant (and long awaited) surprise! So to be here a year later with my sweet Nyla is a wonderful blessing! Me and Nyla (for my b-day)

I enjoyed a wonderful day with my family on my special day...D cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner for me, we attended church together, I attempted to watch a movie with D (I ended up watching my eyelids--smile), and I received some pretty nice gifts too! D wanted to make sure that I really enjoyed my day ( I think he asked me that like maybe 5 times---lol!) Of course I did! I think for me it has always been the simple things in life...I don't need a lot of fanfare. Just the simple things. So for me being with family and seeing another year was great for me!
