I had a Birthday Yesterday

I turned 43 yesterday. 43! I am kind of freaking out about it because I do not feel 43. 

  Well, Long Rock is 10 years younger than me and Seriously, reader, I act way younger than him. (No offense Long Rock. But I would still play in the sand piles in parks. You wouldn't) 

 Anyway... 

I do not want to get older. 

I remember being 5, and my Primary Teacher said that whatever you pray fro, God answers your prayers.

I asked God to keep me 5 forever. Maybe the answer to my prayer all this time was my heart stayed 5 years old while I grew up. 

I remember when I was 15 my mom and dad said "Oh, Dena you are growing up to be such a beautiful young lady." I seriously freaked out on them, "NOOOOO I am not NOT growing up" I hated the word mature. Who wants to be mature? Who WANTS to be older than they are?? I mean really? 

I have had quite a life. I have been to so many places, and again I will say, I do not want to grow up. 

My kids say that I look 25, and so on my Birthday they say "Happy Anniversary to being 25" that works for me. When I am a little older, they will in my Universe keep it how I like it. I am very lucky. 

 Yesterday the long rock and his family did everything they could to make me feel special on my birthday. 

My Turkish dad is very ill and I feel so sad because I want him better. But, for right now, I will have to say, The Long Rock and my Turkish family really did make me feel so happy. It has been really a horrible freeze outside and so we stayed inside to make us stay warm. I told the Long Rock I wanted to stay in my PJ and I wanted him to also. We did. It was fun! 

Well, that wraps it up for now. Loves.
