just another birthday

My birthday is on sunday. I think birthdays have become a way for me to reflect and to realize how much things have changed; they reveal who's important in your life and what you cherish. I've always emphasized to James how important birthdays are and how you have to treat the birthday girl/boy like royalty, etc, etc. But this year,apparently, things have changed. I almost forgot that mine was even coming up.

It doesn't help that we're moving to our first apartment in August. I'm more excited about that than I am about my birthday (however, I did ask for practical, apartment-related stuff)...
