I'm now 29 !!!!

I had a great birthday... Mark planned the whole night which made it even better. He arranged to have my nieces watch the kids while we went to Tepanyakis and a movie all by ourselves. It has been so long since I have gone out to eat and not had to entertain the kids so they don't go nuts. I actually got to eat my food when it was hot!!! Thanks Babe!

It is nice every once in a while to feel like your dating again. While at Tepanyakis we were seated with 3 businessmen and another couple in there early 40's. One of the businessmen and the couple started talking about kids. He said, "I have two little ones." The lady said "I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old... They keep me young..." Then her husband said "We are 42 but having kids makes us feel like we are a young 29" I chuckled.... Here it is my 29th birthday and I have three little kids and feel like I am 18... Mark and I were content just listening so I am sure these people thought we were either newly married or dating. As Mark and I walked to the car we both chuckled as we got into our minivan!!!! I have a minivan... never thought that would happen. Anyway... My kids keep me young also!

Happy Birthday my friend. Glad you had a good one! You guys ought to make it a point to 'date' each othter every week. I know it gets expensive when the kids are young because of paying the babysitters but it's been the best investment. We totally cheered the day our older kids were old enough to babysit so we could continue our tradition without having to pay a babysitter. Seriously dating James is the funnest thing and it strengthens our relationship. When my kids have these 'get to know your mom' questions and they ask what my favorite thing to do is, it is 'going on dates with James every week'. So maybe you could kindly ask your kind hubby to take you out every week for your continued birthday present and try it out just for this year. I'll bet you'll both get hooked!
