Dear Jen, Thank you

Dear Jen,

In 10 days I turn 29. You sent me a package in the mail to remind me of, or rather, to celebrate my last year of youth.

 Did you know, I never planned on aging? I thought I would look young forever. I looked 18 for a long time. And then, I didn't anymore.

Time. It's a sneaky thing.

But I feel better than I did at 18. In body and mind. Thank God for that.

Someone told me that 29 is supposed to be the best year of your life. I think it's because you are so desperate to get things done before 30. Since my calendar is filling up with travel and work, my notebook is full of ideas, and my lap is filled with my blue eyed girl; I think 29 will be the best of years.

I'm going make sure of it.

Love,
Emily

Dear Emily,
   So sorry that I haven't written in so long.  I've had my hands full, to say the least! We're going on three weeks old now and I'm starting to feel like a normal person again.  I thought I would never have energy again, but our bodies are amazing things!  So, I am officially 29 now... officially old... or maybe that doesn't happen until 30.  Not sure.  So for my birthday, my amazing husband took me out to this restaurant, Jimmy's Famous American Tavern, on the waterfront in Point Loma. It was a beautiful evening. We left Julie with her grandparents and spent a little alone time together. It was really nice.  He also surprised me with beautiful diamond earrings, an upgrade to the ones that I have been wearing for years. I love that man so much! I don't have much time now as she is getting fussy and I am learning to juggle, but I have many things to share and will write again soon.  I've missed you!
   Love, Jen
