Happy Birthday to me and goodbye Elder Rowley!

I celebrated my 27th birthday on the 2nd of February. I must admit that getting closer to 30 is a little strange and 40 doesn't seem so old anymore. They keep coming faster and faster. It's a good thing I'm aging gracefully!! :)

It was a good birthday. Pretty laid back. Jeremy surprized me with a party with family and friends. It was a lot of fun! We played Liars Dice, which is becoming one of my favorite games. I won the last two times I've played. I guess I'm a good liar!

On a different note, my brother entered the MTC today. I never have had this experience before within my family, and I was a lot more emotional than I thought I would be. Two years just seems so long!! I know it will go by fast, but I can understand a little bit of what mothers must be feeling. How scary is it to send your loved ones into a totally foreign place and you can't be there to help?! He'll be such a great missionary. He's very focused and has such a strong testimony. When we were saying our goodbyes he was the one telling me that everything would be alright! I'm going to miss him a ton!

Happy Birthday, I can't believe you're already 27. I was 27 when I met you. I'm glad you don't think 40 sounds that bad because I'ts not, I just found out!!!
