Today I turned the big 2-7. All things considered, it was a nice birthday. Since today is Sunday, we celebrated yesterday with a full day of festivities. We woke up and got ourselves presentable because I had made an appointment to have our family pictures taken. I had imagined that having our photo taken would be a fun activity but between the lame-o photographer and my group of uncooperative boys, it turned into a major ordeal that left us all feeling haggard. I recooperated with some shopping therapy and a pedicure with my girlfriend. Later, Aaron and I enjoyed a nice dinner together and a movie afterwards. 
My 27 year-old self getting ready to enjoy my yummy birthday cake.
We have a tradition where Aaron attempts to make a birthday cake of my choosing each year. This year I challenged Aaron to make a cheesecake. This was the final product. Its not going to win any beauty contests, but it actually was delicious. Its the thought that counts, right?My pretty pedicured piggies.
I don't know why people always ask, "how does it feel?" when its your birthday. Truthfully, it feels old. As each birthday comes and goes, I always feel the need to evaluate and assess my progress in life. This birthday I realized that I only have three more years to go before I reach the major milestone of year 30. I don't want to be 30 years old and have any regrets so, being the list-making, goal oriented girl that I am, I decided that I would make my own "bucket list" of sorts, and set a few goals to complete before I turn 30. I'm not talking about fluffy "see a shooting star" type goals, I mean real, do-able, life goals. I will add to the list as I continue to brainstorm, but here is what I've come up with so far:
1. Have another baby
2. Visit Europe
3. Run at least a 10k
4. Take a class...maybe intro to Italian, photography, parenting, design, creative writing
5. $$$ - figure out how to get some
6. Learn to ski and golf
7.
