Birthday's and Anniversary's

I'll start today with the really good news: I heard from the doctor's office and Paul is NOT a carrier for cystic fibrosis so we're off the hook there. What a relief!!

In the Holder household, it is the season of birthday's and anniversary's. This year they are a little bit different though. On the eve of my 30-something birthday, I am a little taken aback at the thought that this is my last birthday without a little someone in tow. I guess that means that it's the last birthday where I can get away with a celebration without having to worry about entertaining a small child. Of course, this will hopefully be the only birthday that I will celebrate without at least one glass of wine....

And our first anniversary is coming up this week and again, it will be the only one we have that's just the two of us. H0w weird. We're going to go to our favorite restaurant, have a fabulous meal, no wine for me and enjoy one another's company. Next year we'll probably go for Mexican food and if we're lucky, Ellen will babysit...

I'm not sad by this exciting change in our lives, it's just a little weird to think that things like this no longer impact just me or just the two of us. There will be 3 of us (and maybe someday 4 of us) to consider for everything. How strange.
