Today I officially moved out of my mid-twenties and entered my late twenties. I'm starting to feel old. It really doesn't bother me, though, because I'm in a point in my life right now where I'm really quite content with things. We've all heard the phrase "your biological clock is ticking." Sometimes I think about that as it pertains to having kids.
Matt and I are both undecided on whether or not we want to have kids. Until he's done with school, it doesn't really fit into our plans. Even then, if he goes into the Air Force, we might move around a lot and stuff, but financially, we'll be much better suited then to have a kid. This is all assuming that we can even have kids, which I've been told is a slim chance for me.
Since I probably can't have kids, we have discussed the option of adoption eventually. I like this route, although it can be expensive and legal hassles are always no fun. I would personally like to be a foster parent later in our lives, at a point when we're settled and financially set.
I'm not sure how I jumped from my birthday to having kids, but whatever. Anyway, thanks Mom for the card(s) and for the posts on the message board. It's good to see that you're catching on! Oh yeah, and thanks for giving birth to me :)

Thanks, Mom. Don't you find it odd that none of the female grandkids on the Gillingham side have had kids yet? Either we're all really that responsible, or there's something genetic here.
Thinking about the fact that you and Dad were reminiscing sure did bring a smile to my face. I bet our birthdays have an entirely different meaning for the two of you than they do for us. :)
