…I don’t know that I would exactly say wiser, just older. I turned 32 today. I love having a May birthday. I love being pregnant in May. I love that 2 of my daughters share my birth month. I love that sometimes my birthday falls on Mothers Day. (although this year our Mary will turn 5 on Mothers Day!) I love that my birthday falls in the same month that we honor Our Heavenly Mother. I especially love how excited my children were this morning to celebrate MOMS birthday! What a lovely bunch of gifts I received this morning. From my husband I received a new set of stainless steel pots and pans, (much wanted and needed!), and a nifty key-chain that holds and displays 56 of my favorite digital pictures. (Thanks for the tip JohnC!
) From my children I received new slippers, a locket, a ladybug charm for my charm bracelet, a jewelry box, a ‘teach yourself to knit’ kit with yarn, and a lovely homemade pottery rose. I hear rumors that someone is making dinner and cake for me too! Thank you beautiful family! I am blessed to grow older with all of you.

Man, what a haul!
I think the cookware and the digital keychain were especially thoughtful ;-P
I thank God for you and I know I don’t deserve you (in a good way…).
I love you and I hope you’re having a wonderful day.
See you tonight.
Love,
DH
