Yesterday was just like any other day except it was my birthday, which since I have gotten older just isn't as exciting as when I was a kid, but that is okay. Jon took me out to eat at Chili's the night before, and we celebrated with a Chocolate Molten Cake! Oh Yeah!! Jon also took me to see the new Indiana Jones movie which was so awesome! (Tyson, you have to see it!) The acting was so good and it was just so entertaining to watch. My little sis, JaNae watched my kids, (thanks Nae!) so it was so nice for me and Jon to go out on a real date.
I can't believe how old I have gotten all of a sudden. I feel like I am 21 but I am much older than that. In fact, I couldn't remember how old I was the other day. I had to remember what year I was born and then figure it out from there. That is a bad sign. Do any of you remember when you were a kid looking at people in there late 20's and thinking they are so old and wise? I've come to realize that I don't feel as old as I really am and I am not as wise as I'd like to be. I now look at 30 year olds and think they are so old and wise (yes, even you Janz!) And I am sure I'll think that when I am a 70 year old looking at 80 year olds.
I am so grateful, at least that I have accomplished some of the greatest things in my 20's. I graduated from college, got married to a wonderful man and had two beautiful children and bought our first home. I can't wait to see what is going to happen in the next 27 years, although I'm sure it will come faster than I want it to.

Happy Birthday!!! It sounds like you had such a fun day. Chocolate Molten Cake from Chili's is what makes having another birthday seem okay. It is the best! 27 is still so young, I am just glad it is you and not me:)
happy late birthday! mine was this week too :) And it's not as fun having a birthday as you get older. But sounds like you had fun celebrating.
Happy Late Birthday, Mandi! I was thinking about you all day long and never got around to calling you! Sorry! I love ya! And didn't you just LOVE Indiana Jones!? It was so good. I want to see it again. Can't wait to see you on Monday!!
I accidentally spelled your name wrong, so that's why the other comment was deleted. So, Happy Birthday, Mandi! It's true...birthdays are not the same, but it's still exciting to get older and experience much! We miss seeing you guys... we'll have to schedule a summer activity sometime, if you guys are in!
I forgot that we share a birthday. Happy birthday to us!
Happy Birthday!!! It looks like Jon took good care of you. I can't believe you are 27. I still think of you as 16. You're lucky because you have inherited your mother's ageless look. Take Care Jessie
Mandi, you are NOT 27. You can't be. Cause that would make me REALLY old! Happy late birthday! Can't wait to see you today!
Happy Birthday! I think you are very wise but I know what you mean about looking at older people and thinking you'll never be that old. Tyson and I were just talking about how wierd it is to see famous people that are younger than you. It's crazy! But you do have an awesome life! It was fun to see you yesterday!
Hey Mandi, sorry I missed your B-day, and Jaina's for that matter. Is she walking yet? I hope you had a good birthday and that Jaina did too. We miss you guys.
Happy Birthday Mandi!! I agree with jbpacker. When I was growing up I remember your mother and always thought she was beautiful and that I wanted to look like her. You take after her! Lucky you!!
Happy birthday, I kept meaning to check and see whose was right by mine. Mine is tomorrow, and I thought yours was around there somewhere. Glad you had fun!
