Where have the last 27 years gone?

A few weeks ago I celebrated my 27th birthday, my last birthday not as a mommy. I started out the day by getting a pedi and relaxing. My parents were on their way out of town so we headed to CPK to curve my craving for Thai chicken pizza and a waldorf chicken salad. Jim and I didn’t really have that many plans so we cruised Costco and I picked up a set of ceramic mushrooms to add to my newly designed Gnome forest; I know I am weird, you don’t need to tell me this! My Dad and Jim had been trying to work on my Jeep because in the five years I owned my rugged utility vechile my Dad had done every oil change except for one and of course that one time the person screwed up and broke the drain plug and you could not get it out. This repair alone would have cost me $500, plus a set of new tires, brakes, yada, yada, yada. We decided to take a chance and headed down to Mossy Nissan in National City to check out their stock of used 2009 Murano’s. I test drove one and fell in love! The SUV looks so small from the outside but once you get in it’s so roomy and the plus side was that it only had 8,000 miles versus the 130,000 I had racked up! So we tried and we got approved and got out of my loan a year early and my payments only went up $10. Not bad, plus I have way more room for baby stuff. After our car buying process we headed to the Schack’s and met up with Candace, Al and Kathy and they gave me their gifts. I seriously didn’t think the day could get any better after the car, but when I opened my gift from Candace and Robert (my bosses) my mouth dropped open and I couldn’t believe what was in the Cache bag. . .a new 13″ Mac Book Pro! What!? Are you kidding me? Who does that? Overly joyed we headed to dinner at one of the Brigantine family owned restaurants, Zocalo. We had an intimate dinner of Cuban inspired food with Robert, Candace, John and Cassie. The day couldn’t have been any better, Jim updated my two-year-old point and shoot camera to a new Nikon touch screen camera. Despite tears earlier in the day I couldn’t be more blessed for my family and friends who celebrated the day with me. Overall, twenty-seven isn’t going to be that bad!
