It was my birthday this past weekend, I won't say how old I turned :) We started off the day with a BANG at Karen and Bill's house for the best waffles we have ever had. They have ruined us for boxed waffles forever. Bummer. Ben loved singing Happy Birthday (his favorite song) and the candle in my waffle :)
We had a relaxing day together as a family, went to church on Saturday evening, then Steven and I went on a date. We went to an Italian restaurant in Lincoln Square and spontaneously went to a movie afterwards. We saw "the Namesake" a great movie about the merging of two cultures. I read the book recently...of course, the book was better, but we enjoyed it! Thanks to Graham, my brother, for babysitting!
On the way home at midnight, we nearly got into an accident due to a car in front of us swerving across three lanes of traffic (and doing two 360s) in front of us on the highway. We truly almost hit them twice. Steven handled it very well. Our hearts were pounding, and we were pretty freaked out. You feel so vulnerable once there are kids in your life...Man, its scary! We prayed and thanked God for sparing us from the accident. I feel even more vulnerable being pregnant. Even if we weren't hurt in an accident, the baby could easily be harmed. Near misses are good reminders to take stock of what is important in life.
Overall, I had a great birthday. Many people were thoughtful and remembered my day. Thanks to you all!
