28th Birthday.

 

I turned 28 about a month ago.  28 sounds so young and yet I feel so much older than that.  I swear after age 21, Birthdays are so much less eventful.  My actual Birthday was on a Monday so, the celebration occurred over the prior weekend.  I went to my parents for dinner/gifts one night and went to a dinner and movie with Andres another night.  On Sunday morning, Andres told me to get up early because he made an appointment for me at a spa.  He told me where to go but didn't tell me what I was getting.  He had booked a massage and pedicure.  The pedicure was so different than any pedicure I had ever gotten.  They put you in a chair that's like a dentist chair and they put a hot pad around your shoulders and a compress on your eyes and do your toes while you lay back.  It was different but, pretty enjoyable!  It was so sweet of him to book that for me and get some time to myself.

On my actual birthday, I was exhausted and the baby and I laid around a lot and napped together.  Andres worked from home so he got off early and took us to dinner.  It was quiet and nice.

Last year, my best friend and I started a tradition to do a painting class for our Birthdays (she is 3 weeks older than me) and so the weekend following my birthday, we took our class.  This year's painting was much easier and yet my painting last year looked SO much better (To see my one from last year, click here).  I think I drank too much wine this year.  Her's turned out amazing though.  It was so fun and super relaxing.

I didn't get a lot of pics and I hate how my smile looks fake in both of the pictures I did get because I was having more fun than it looked!  I'm looking forward to age 28.  27 was a hard but great year.  I had a lot of self-discovery but, getting to that point wasn't always pleasant.  My goal for 27 was to become more domestic and I'm def getting there.  I can now cook a meal without it tasting too horrible and put together a house better than I ever expected!  I'm actually starting to get a hang of crafting too.  The Cricut has changed my world!  My goals for 28 are to continue with my domestic skills, have a wedding and feel more self confident and satisfied with myself.   Here's to 28!!!
