25

It’s my birthday today. I’m 25 years old.

My life is so different than it was a year ago.

One year ago, I woke up alone because Bart was traveling (it was the first of 13 weeks he would spend away). Today he works close enough to home that I could pick him up for lunch.

A year ago, I was an elementary school librarian, commuting south every day to teach 6 classes. Today I’m a stay at home mom.

And a year ago I wasn’t even pregnant. Today I have a nearly two month old baby.

A year ago, I felt like I was always looking toward the future – toward the next weekend, the next vacation, the next raise, the next nicer apartment. Today, I am happier with my life than I can ever remember being.

It’s going to be a good year.

  1. Happy Birthday! I have never read your blog before, but I know my wife loves reading it and I just want to wish birthday happiness to someone who keeps a smile on Heather's face. As a side note, 25 is oh so young.

  2. Happy Birthday! (a day late, sorry!) Hope you enjoyed your day! Sounds like a year of good changes. 🙂

  3. Happy Birthday to you! I think the last year has been great to you and you absolutely deserve it. I hope you're birthday with Bart and your sweet babe was wonderful.
