32...Eek!

I've always loved my birthday. I love getting to do special things, I love being spoiled, I love not having to make excuses for buying frivolous things for myself, I love that it's all about me. What I'm not loving so much anymore is my age going up. Don't get me wrong, I know I'm not old or anything,  but I really don't care to be over 30. I will say it doesn't bother me as much now that I have Lauren.
Having Lauren meant I couldn't be completely spoiled, I had to actually take care of someone else! But Chris took the day off and we took Lauren to the zoo. Then the next day Chris watched her so I could get a pedicure and go to lunch and then my mom came out to watch her so Chris could take me to dinner at our favorite restaurant, Sakura.
A couple days before my birthday I found a pin on Pinterest of a list of free things to get on your birthday. That's how I got the cake. I also got a free cookie from Panera and $10 off from Victoria's Secret, which I spent on the two shirts I wore to the zoo.  I love my birthday!

Victoria's Secret, hers is just a 6 month outfit she's wearing for the first time.

Daddy was watching the elephants, apparently

Lauren thought Mommy was more interesting!
