Congratulations to my Cousin, Sed!!!

On Friday, Sept. 11, 2009 my cousin gave birth to her first baby! I totally hate that I couldn't be with her (she lives in California) or be with her now when she needs the most help (the weeks after having a baby) BUT her mommy is there now so I know she is doing fine.
I can't seem to upload pictures right now so I will attempt it again later tonight or this weekend.
Welcome baby Austin! I can't wait to see you!!! Congratulations Sedre and Christian.

Realizations

On my way home from work today I had a memory of my mom back when I was 15 and she was 35 (35 being the exact same age I am now). I realized I am nowhere near the same maturity level she was at my age. I still feel like I'm in my 20's and sometimes younger. I know I don't FEEL 35 yet I'm feeling like I should maybe consider "growing up". But why? Do we all REALLY ever grow up? I love the way I feel, I love feeling young around my kids. I still even listen to a top 40 radio station, mainly because I love the morning group (they are all in their late 20's) and by doing so I know what songs are "in" right now. I'm actually on Facebook and Twitter (which my husband thinks is childish btw), I even LOVE Twilight! I'm reading the whole saga again for the second time (you know getting ready for the sequal that will be out on Friday, Nov. 20th) SEE??!?!?! Is this stuff I should know??

Oh, well...maybe I'll consider maturing a year or two.....SIKE!!!
