That's right! My birthday is on Tuesday, November 5th, which is a terrible day to have a birthday, but to compensate for such a mediocre day to have a birthday I'm only working a half day.
I'm turning 28 this year- meaning I'll be officially in my late 20's, this is an odd concept to me. Where did years 24-27 go? I don't feel like I'm 28 however I find that such a strange statement, what is 28 years old suppose to feel? This is my second birthday on the west coast however it is around my birthday when I start feel a hint of missing home. I'm not going home for Thanksgiving or Christmas this year so I think the homesickness might be here to stay for a bit. Back home I celebrate my birthday for at least a week getting to go for dinners and outing with friends, family and significant others but here its different. My friends and Chris do an amazing job making my birthday feel special but it's just not home. I know this is a terrible compliant to have but I guess after over a year of living here, I'm surprised how much certain times of year really make me miss Connecticut.
This year on Tuesday night a bunch of us are going out for some delicious dim sum and Chris is working on some surprise which is my favorite part!
Someone else's birthday is coming up as well.... Bailey's! Her birthday is 11/10 so only 5 days after me and she's turning one. I can't believe our little puppy is turning one, she's been a lot of work but has brought us so much joy and laughter I can't imagine our lives without her.
And now I leave you with some birthday wisdom
