28

Today is my 28th Birthday and I feel like I am getting old, but I feel like I am 18. To celebrate, Mom and Dad took Ben, Parker and I out for breakfast at IHOP. It was so YUMMY! I received some special gifts, from scrapbooking to clothes, it has been a happy day today! Ben has to go to work later this afternoon but we are expecting some friends to stop over.

Ben Parker and I went over to a friends house last night and stayed out way past my bedtime eating birthday cake, talking, laughing and getting to know each other better. (MY Ben totally loves you guys!!) Parker slept in this morning which means that we got to sleep in too. When we woke up Ben suggested that I write down 28 things that make me happy or 28 of my favorite things, so here they are....
