Happy Birthday!

Today is my birthday... it was wonderful.. in fact the entire week has been great.  Which is surprising considering I thought I would be in Seattle, working an amazing new job and having an amazing birthday overlooking the Space Needle and all.  I thought with that hope, that goal once set by Shaun and I to celebrate our bdays in Seattle it would be disappointing to still be in Ohio.... but it's not.  Sure, I would love to be there blowing out a candle on a cream of wheat piroshky from Piroshky! Piroshky! but my mom's homemade birthday cake was an amazing treat!  Really it was great spending time with my family, having a BBQ the other day, then dinner tonight with my parents and Shaun... it was a great way to turn 28 and forget about everything else.  But, tomorrow I'm officially less than 2 years away from turning 30... and very far away from my goals... so it's time to get cracking!
