I remember the day I was turning 18, I was so excited because I was finally going to be legal. Life was going to be amazing and it was, it still is. But, now as I age, I find myself caring less and less about my birthday, so this year my birthday just kind of crept up on me.
I warned my husband and kids that they could not buy me anything, they just had to do what I wanted. Ha, we all know how that works – it doesn’t. Anyways, I did pretty much everything that I wanted and a few things my kids wanted and am now officially a year older! I feel like I should have a post about my birthday, but I really don’t know where to start, so I’m sharing 27 life lessons I’ve learned in 27 years instead.
