Older...and wiser?!

So yes, today is my birthday. My 31st birthday to be exact. Sigh. I must say the last few years sure whizzed by. A lot has changed from say....five years ago. Here is a picture of me celebrating my 26th birthday, with one of my favourite things - ice cream cake!




Although I think I look pretty much the same as I did five years ago (some people may argue otherwise), here are a few major differences between then and now:



1. I am no longer a spry twenty-something! boo. And I think I am going to have to start bumping up my 'pretend age' of 22. Yup, I have been 22 now for about eight years. Maybe I can get away with pretending to still be 26! =)






2. This picture was taken at Career Services, which was the last place I was someone else's employee. Now I work for myself and I love it!






3. I have two kids! One of them is already three years old. Wow, time flies.






4. Nigel and I have been married for seven great years now, and we have been together for a total of 14 years! Holy cow. We have: graduated high school together, graduated University together, traveled together, built two houses together, grew our careers together, started a business together and brought two great kids into the world together.




5. I guess I could say I am a wee bit wiser. Although these days my 'mommy mush brain' isn't helping me out much.
