I turned 24 yesterday. UGH! I know, I am not old but I am really starting to feel like I am. Up until my twentieth birthday me and my birthdays had a positive relationship. What happened? Now I am starting to dread birthdays. I actually find myself afraid of getting old. I know it's silly when I am only 24 but if next few years go by as fast as the last few years I will be 50 before I blink. Yes Mom and Dad 50 is old :). But getting old is going to happen no matter how I feel about it so I am trying to accept it.
This year to celebrate Jared took the day off and we spent the morning together as a family riding bikes and playing at a park in Scottsdale. And yes...I am going to finally be brave and post a picture of me, in all my glory, 30 weeks pregnant (at the request of my sister-in-law April).
And now a cute photo...Ethan at the park. Isn't he so BIG!!
After the park we dropped Ethan off with a sitter and Jared took me to Joann's to buy fabric for curtains. I have been DYING to hang curtains ever since we moved into our house but they are so expensive! The curtains was my big birthday present. I will post pictures when they are finished and hung. It could be awhile since I am doing the sewing myself...yikes! Here is a picture of the fabric.
Red Robin was our next stop after Joann's. Jared and I split a free burger. (Sign up for emails from Red Robin and they will send you a coupon for a free gourmet burger on your birthday.) Jared requested the staff at Red Robin sing to me. How embarrassing! Thank goodness it was a Thursday night and the restaurant was fairly empty. The perk? They gave me a free dish of ice cream. I guess I will take a happy birthday song for some free ice cream.
Oh, and my favorite part of the day, a free dozen glazed doughnuts from Krispy Kreme. That's right, flash your ID to prove it's your birthday and walk out with a dozen doughnuts. YUMM! So a big thanks to Jared, Red Robin and Krispy Kreme for making getting older not so bad after all.

Awe Marcie!! You look be-a-utiful. And I can't believe I missed your birthday. I'm so lame. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'm going to write it down this year so maybe I'll be prepared next year. 24 so isn't old by the way. Wait until you turn 27...then you'll feel old. ;)
