So many things can sum up a birthday.

Balloons.

Cake.

Gifts.

Celebrations.

Excitement.

All of those are very exciting. I love birthdays. I love celebrations. It doesn't matter if it's mine, my sister's, my neighbor's, or the cashier's in the grocery store. I love to celebrate another year of life.

Life that began because someone made a conscience choice to say yes.

Yes to life as it was meant to be. Yes to a chance to see life outside of the womb. Yes to growing a human and giving birth to said human. Yes to stretch marks, late nights, early mornings, puke stains, slobbery kisses, stinky diapers, and life.

Life.

So today I celebrate another year of life. Life that my mom chose to give me! Today I am thankful that God chose to create me!

So, Happy Birthday to me!
