This year, everything was in a turbo mode at the end of August. Katya was getting set apart as a missionary, kids were getting ready to start school and we were just inundated with all the changes.
But! One thing remained the same--Robert still celebrated his birthday! hahaha Turning 43 this year! It was a blessing that Katya was still around--doing her Home MTC portion of the mission. And so she got to celebrate with us, and Robert's amazing lemon pound cake:)).
Weekday birthdays are tricky, but we tried to make it special. I am all smiley and happy here because I will forever remain 3 years and 3 weeks younger than Robert, hehehe.
And then my birthday came and went and it was so uneventful that I have no pictures of it! I turned FORTY! And I so didn't want to make a big deal out of it, that I just wanted to hang out on my own and think things. So I did. And I believe 80 percent of people who sent me a happy birthday message said "welcome to the 40s club". And I was just baffled how so many people are in this club that I had never heard about! And how is it that everyone was welcoming and thinking I want to be in it??:)) So basically, I decided to just accept that I am forty BUT I still don't feel like it at all, which is great. For my big 40s birthday celebration I didn't want to do a party, but, instead, I wanted to go on a short cruise with everyone to take a break from cooking and decision making (who am I kidding?! cruise food is a non-stop decision making ordeal:)). I will write about the cruise later.
One more special date in September--our anniversary. This year we stayed nearby but went to a very fancy place called Angus Barn. It's a very popular, traditional North Carolinian place that is perfect for special occasions (we also had a gift certificate:)). And look at this amazing dessert they gifted us for our anniversary.
Twenty one years together! Incredible. More than half of my life.
I love you, Robert Watson!!!
Lyana.
