27 Random Reasons to be Amazingly Happy on my 27th Birthday

I want to be able to look back and remember what I was thinking on this day, the beginning of my 27th year of life. These are in the completely random order that they popped into my brain.

  1. I am almost 7 years happily married to my high school sweetie and best friend
  2. I still get excited to see him at the end of the day
  3. I have given birth to not 1, but 2 healthy & amazing boys
  4. They are SO cute
  5. They are great sleepers & eaters
  6. I am still the same weight as I was in high school (sorry suckers!)
  7. Caleb basically potty trained himself at age 2 (maybe I can pay him to potty train Drays...hmm)
  8. I am pretty darn self secure, meaning I don't live my life by what others think or have
  9. My large & loving extended family
  10. We've been lucky enough to take our kids on some cool vacays & make awesome memories
  11. My Caleb is hands down the best 4 year old hockey player known to man
  12. Our home (not just the structure, but the love of our family inside:)
  13. My friends (I have killer friends!)
  14. I ordered my birthday jeans yesterday
  15. I live in the land of the Free (though for the record I am totally opposed to this socialist type business that is going on, I believe you should work hard for the things you have)
  16. I know God loves ME
  17. I love being a Mom as much as I thought I would
  18. I have experienced very little loss in my life so far
  19. My baby loves ME like he loves no one else!
  20. I am healthy
  21. I totally don't feel old & can't fathom why I thought 27 was old when I was in high school
  22. I have cute toe nails because my mother-in-law Jane treated me for my birthday
  23. Our kids are spoiled by their grandparents & we live only 5 minutes from both sets
  24. My hubby believes I could do anything
  25. Caleb thinks I'm cool (and I'm gonna soak that up, because I'm sure he'll be singing a different tune in 10 years)
  26. Chip is one of the most selfless people I have ever met in my life (and he's all mine)
  27. I have experienced more things in these first 27 years than some people do in their whole lives (and not for one minute do I take that for granted)
