Thirty-Five???

this week i turned thirty-five...wow, that seems old....especially due to the fact that i seem to be having more and more ailments these days. poor tim listens to a new one almost everyday. hence, the reason, (if any of you are wondering) why i've been wearing my glasses for the last week, my right eye looks sleepy & swollen, and i NEVER have eye makeup on! i have somehow managed to get not one, but, TWO ulcers on my cornea. many of you who know me will say it's my own fault, i'm a terrible contact lense wearer. i don't follow directions, and i wear my contacts too long. so, i have now made the final decision and i will be having lasik in the coming months. i'm done, SO DONE, with this issue. back to my birthday...i love a birthday! many thanks to all my friends that remembered and sent me emails, cards, voicemails, and texts this week. i had a great lunch on wednesday with my mom, dina, and beckey at city cafe. my boys took me to babe's in roanoke on wednesday night. i feel very happy and blessed seeing the places God has taken me in my thirty five years, and even more so where he has landed me now. the journey is not always what we think it should be, and can seem long and tiring at times, but i TRUST that HE always knows what HE is doing and where HE is going with me. so long to thirty-four, hello thirty-five....i can't wait to see what this year brings.

i have to say this kind of caught me by surprise, but neither of my boys had ever had fried chicken on the bone. i know, i have no idea how we missed this in their eight and six years of life. the funny thing is, when i told tyler to just hold it and eat - he turned it the wrong way at first and tried to bite the bone. i guess we need to get out more...or, eat more fried chicken!
