23 on the 23rd.

And I happened to look at the clock at 4:23, so I made a wish. :)
This birthday was one that I have been looking forward to, I just felt like there was something special about being 23 on the 23rd.
And, get this, I didnt cry today. Its kind of awesome.
In fact my day was super laid back and the only people in my life that I really had face time with were my mom and dad. Some people may not have been satisfied with the simplicity of my day, but for me, it was actually kind of perfect.
My day went like this: I got up and ran some errands and did some nice birthday shopping. Then I had lunch with my momma. After that I came home and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon until my parents got home, we had dinner of ham steak and cornbread. Then mom baked me a heart shaped cake, and she and my dad came out of the kitchen singing to me.
Nothing about my day was actually planned, and I think thats what made it so wonderful.

I wish that others in my life could appreciate the simplicity that made this birthday special. I dont think it would even occur to my sister-in-laws to not plan out a birthday, to just let things happen, but hey, they get to live their lives and I get to live mine.
