Yesterday was my 32nd birthday! Last year Selah took me on an adventure to St. Augustine and Gainesville. We saw three shows, went to football, and partied it up for a whole weekend. It never occurred to me that this year we would be celebrating my birthday with my son. My birthday week started on Sunday with a family dinner at mom and dad's. Selah got into town late Monday night and we spent time playing with Elliott and lounging around watching tv. Zane's been here since his grandfather was sick and we got to spend some time with him. It's my favorite thing to have them both here...there are few people that can make me laugh the way they do. I decided that I was ready to leave Elliott with my mom and go out with them for a birthday dinner. Of course I was nervous about really leaving Elliott for an extended amount of time, but I knew that putting him to bed before I left would make it a little easier. My mom stayed with him and I only cried a little when I left. He stayed asleep the whole time and I lasted almost 3 hours out without him. I couldn't wait for the moment I got back and could watch him sleeping. While things are definitely different this year, and my past birthday's were all amazing, this one was the best. The most meaningful and definitely the most special. My first year as a mommy and my first year with Elliott. I couldn't wish for anything better.
