27 and still counting!
Today, I am having a bad day. Just one of those days where you want to be at home, watching movies you have seen a thousand times and wearing your favorite red sweatpants from the Gap. Today, I could cry at the drop of a hat, and I hate that.
Yet, today also happens to be my birthday. Who would've thought. I wish that today could just be a normal day and I could pretend my birthday was sometime next week, preferably when I am in a good mood. Today is not that day.
27 years ago, my mom and dad found out I was a girl and named me Trisha. I already had a big brother who was three years older than me. I was the first granddaughter to both sets of grandparents. When my dad held me for the first time in the hospital, I peed on him. Guess I ruined the whole father-daughter moment, there. My mom wanted to name me Abigail, my dad wanted to name me Kelly to match my Irish last name. How they decided on Trisha is beyond me.
Is it me or is life just flying by these last couple years? I can remember when I turned 20, my second year in college. My roommate, Anne, and my friends decorated our dorm door with all these signs and balloons. The big sign said "20, you're half way to 40!" That seemed impossible. And now 30 is staring me in the eye and will be here before I know it. Two years ago, my mom threw me a surprise birthday party -- I happened to be prego with the little guy, but she made me feel great and it was a wonderful party. Now, the little guy is walking/running around, jabbering all day long and making me smile or laugh constantly. Time is flying by.
What will this year bring? We will move into our new house, I will finish up school and start student teaching. My friend will have her first baby. Will I be happy?
Here's to being 27!

Happy Birthday Trisha! 27 is young, savor it! Don't base happiness on accomplishments or age...it only comes from the big Guy upstairs!
Oh, and just out of curiousity...your friend wouldn't happen to be my wife would it???
Sorry you're not having a great day... but the day's not over!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and may you get totally pampered. =)
You know, turning 30 wasn't so bad. It actually didn't bother me. 40 though might startle me for sure.
Time flies cuz you have been busy. Plus, children grow so much that it doesn't help either!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I didn't know that Amber was pregnant either. Thanks for sharing that one. Maybe you should have told Jason first.
TUCK
Happy Birthday, dearie!!!
I was so busy yesterday too with the chaos that I never even got to see that you blogged! I miss you today and am hoping that you had a few moments to relax and enjoy your special day. In my family, the birthday girls get a whole birhtday week, so I am sure in the next week you'll have at least one awesome day!!!
Have fun staining and seeding!!! And, Happy Belated Birthday!!!
~Amber
p.s. It might not for sure be before you're 28... :-)
I think 27 sounds cool. But it can't be two years ago that I visited??? Where did that time go?
This year and the next few are going to be great and you will forsure be happy - no matter what.
