Entering my LATE twenties

I kinda freaked out about turning 26 this year!! It just seems like life is passing me by and it makes me afraid to blink. Little did I know my actual 26th birthday would be one of my least favorites, and not just cause I feel old. The day started out at what I thought would be a quick doctor appointment for Dallen to get him some different antibiotics for his cough, and turned into a 2 1/2 hour stay at the dr office, getting x-rays and ultimately a diagnosis of swollen lungs caused by allergy induced asthma. Poor little D has to start using an inhaler.

After that, the day got better when my sweet friend Shayla took me to lunch and got me a pazookie :)
When we got home it took me 2 1/2 difficult hours to get Dallen down for a nap :( By the time he woke up, it was time to go out for dinner. After the day Dallen and I had, I just didn't have to heart to leave him with a sitter. Instead Mark helped me wrangle him in at my favorite restaurant and we enjoyed a nice family dinner!!I felt so blessed to have family and friends call me (on my new iPhone, thanks Mark) all day and wish me a happy birthday, even though it kinda wasn't. It's a good thing I have another one next year, let's just hope it goes a little better!!
