Your daily horoscope (as taken from astrology.com)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

You are perfectly comfortable knowing that you don’t know everything. Today brings a breath of fresh air to your understanding, as an old illusion dries up and blows away, leaving more truth to ponder.

Gah!  Ain’t that the truth! 

This was my horoscope yesterday, which also happened to be my 34th birthday.  I never really read my horoscope, but given all we’ve been through in the last year, or so, I wanted to see if my 35th year of life would be “the year” for me.  I have to admit that reading the above did give me a little bit of hope that everything is going to be okay.  Between the boys (finally) being healthy to me (finally) taking care of my mental state…between Jeff and I’s marriage being as good as it’s ever been despite my views on marriage being challenged and questioned in weeks past since someone very close to me is ending her marriage…I’m (finally) starting to think that everything is going to be okay.

Therapy is helping.  It’s helping A LOT.  Last week’s session was eye-opening to say the least.  My therapist had be basically replay the weeks leading up to Max and Wes’s birth, all the way through the first few days of their lives, and it’s amazing all of the things I thought I had forgotten.  The (good and the bad) memories that I didn’t think existed…they were there.  They were crystal clear, and seeing them through EMDR therapy was exactly what I needed in order to move on.  As my horoscope reads, I don’t know everything, and I’m perfectly comfortable with that.  I’m (finally) perfectly comfortable with that.  For those of you who know me, this is HUGE, as I’m fairly certain I used to think I did know everything, or close to everything. 

I could go on and on about how and why I think this therapy is working, but I’ll spare and appease those of you who I know only show up for the photos.  =)  We had a fantastic last week, celebrating our precious Max and Wes, and the anniversary of the day they were born, and celebrating my birthday as well.  My parents and sister both came in for the weekend, and on Sunday, Marty & LeAnn hosted a joint birthday celebration for the three of us – it was perfect.  Nothing big and showy, nothing over-the-top.  Just our families and our two favorite little guys…and balloons, presents, pizza, and cupcakes!  Absolutely perfect.  Enjoy the photos!

Wes "double-fisting" - wonder where he learned that???

No, Jeff isn't suffocating Max, he's giving the boys a birthday hug!

Proof that Wes really has hair

Max and his Red Robin birthday balloon

Max was so excited to wake up to Aunt Kristy...

...and get beard tickles from Grandpa Bob

Grandma Peggy helped Wes navigate the wood floors...

...then Wes showed Max how it's done

Seriously - how cute is that smile?

Max...pondering life

Max...using the cold glass as a teether...again

Who looks more tired...Wes or Aunt Kristy?

"Aunt Kristy, that tickles!!"

Okay, I have TONS more photos from their birthday celebration, but I need to go to bed, so I’ll upload them later tomorrow or Thursday.  Stay tuned later this week for the stats from Max and Wes’s 12 month appointment (on Friday), videos, and proof that our lives are about to change even more…

Good night all!
