thoughts from a wandering mind


Read me or don't, but here's where the wanderings get put on paper..eh, screen.

Today, I’m 29.

Today is my birthday— last year in my 20s. I don’t feel older and I’m still just as excited for my birthday as I was when 10, except it would’ve been nice if my mom sent me off to work with cupcakes for everyone like she used to do for school.

I guess though, there are some major differences from 28. My 28th birthday was a blast with our friends Jackie and Eric, in Santa Barbara drinking wine like water at a food and wine festival, happening upon a summer solstice rave, and partying until we couldn’t walk. Ry and I lived in Malibu at the time.

This year, Ryan and I own a home in Phoenix and our weekend was spent up in the quiet pine covered town of Flagstaff enjoying a quiet dinner outside in the town square, with a baby boy nudging me in my belly after I finally fed him a steak!

And I know that next year will be even crazier…because at our home in Phoenix will be our lil dude (and hopefully Ry and I are back in Santa Barbara for the weekend!).

I haven’t blogged at all— mostly because I feel like every expectant mother blogs…way…too…much. Somehow I didn’t think there was anything to say that anybody wants to hear. However, my friend M blogs about her mommy experience and I find myself checking tumblr every day just to see what’s new, and when she hasn’t posted, I wish she had….So for my birthday Ry got me an iPad, and I’m hoping that will keep me more connected and make it easier to update this thing. And maybe, just maybe, what I’ll have to say as a mom-to-be or as a mom will be different than everyone else…or there will be that one friend that wants to read along and looks forward to my updates.
