I am now 42

Monday was my 42ND birthday. The entire weekend was filled with family and friends. Saturday Keith and Doris took me to a wine tasting and then to dinner. Sunday was Mom and Dad's 51st wedding anniversary, dinner again, then on my birthday dinner with the family at Outback. After dinner we all went to Mom and Dad's for ice cream cake! I am going to Hannibal on Friday to visit with a new friend. Then on Saturday evening Rick and I are going to see Wicked! This was my birthday present to myself. The condo is coming along, the kitchen is finished, and the dinning room is next. I am thinking about painting the living room the same as the dinning room. Everyone likes the gray and it is very peaceful. The guest room is ready for visitors, still have not decided what to paint it yet.
Life is getting into a rhythm that suits me. I have stopped trying to make things happen and just allow the flow to take me. This is usually when the best things in life come to you. The little ones seem to grow so fast, Jackson will be 5 next month! Karin, Ed and Katie will be in over the 4Th and I am sure Katie will have grown since January. Well not much to report except Kevin not being here for my birthday was depressing, I have been missing him a lot since Memorial day. His presence was missed when I got up on my birthday and no card was on the dinning room table. But I picked myself up and moved on. It seems that I am getting better and better at that. I can almost see a light at the end of the tunnel.
