Today is my 44th birthday, and I thank God for all the many blessings He has provided me with over the course of my life. I welcome another year, and I intend to make the most of it. The older you get, it seems the more appreciative you are for the days and people you are provided with in life.
We kept it simple this year with the celebrations. A nice dinner with my husband Jason and our three kids was all I requested.
