Celebrating The Birth of Me

By Rebecca | Published June 7, 2009

My Mom came into town to celebrate a very vivid and painful 36 hours of labor – 25 years ago.

It’s been a lot of fun having her in town this week! So far we have played a lot of games, have done some shopping & have taken a trip down to Venice Beach. We ended the night eating at Malibu Seafood and going home and playing Monopoly.

I can’t believe my Mom will be 70 next year. She looks SO GOOD! This gives me a lot of peace about growing older – because lately I’ve been slightly irritated that I keep encountering people who think I look not a day older than 17. Hello! I’m now 25 people - I know, I know – be grateful. I am, because look at that woman! She’s a year away from the 7-0! That means I’ll still be looking good when I reach her age Thanks for the great genes Mom! My Dad looks good too for his age, so I’m doubly secured for great youthful looks for life.

So, what we have left to do before she leaves, is to go out to eat at a Sushi Restaurant. SO EXCITED for Sushi!

Thank you Mom for enduring 36 hours of pain to bring me into this Family. For giving me so many wonderful brother’s and sisters. I know in Heaven I chose you to be my Mom, I chose Dad – and to be a part of a big pack of awesome brother’s and sister’s. I feel loved – and that means a lot to me. ♥ It’s meant a lot to me the past few days that you came out to just visit, to be here for my ’special day’. Thank you! LOVE you! ♥
