today is the last day of my 20's.

how did i spend the last day of my 20's?

started my day early, in bed with my wonderful husband, who rose before me and fed and changed our daughter downstairs while i snoozed upstairs.  when he left the room, i groggily asked, from behind my sleep mask, to wake me at 710.  he said ok.  at 745 i received a text from a yoga teacher needing a sub today, which woke me.  when i went downstairs to find eric smiling at marin on his lap, he said - i know you asked me to wake you, but i wanted to let you rest. 

after coffee (brewed by eric, such a luxury... it's truly the little things...) and bathrobe time, i scooted off to teach the yoga class this morning.  i missed the salutation nation, a big outdoor yoga event, here in portland as a result, but it was ok b/c the class rocked and i was so happy. 

i ran errands then, picking up a baby gift for a baby shower i had to attend this afternoon and spending time at the arts & crafts store to get stuff for adam's 3rd birthday party next weekend.  i checked in with eric by phone - he was at the farmers' market with both kids, sucking on honey sticks, playing with hula hoops ("those big circles" as adam calls them) sitting on the grass listening to live music and picking up fresh garlic.  have i mentioned how great this man is?

i showered and ran out the door, thanking god silently for the extra curl and texture that has come into my hair these days, post-baby - it makes for wash-n-wear hair that looks nice even if i don't blow dry, even if i shower, dress and head off on my way.
i spent a few hours this afternoon with some women i think are fantastic and celebrated a baby on its way and its mama, my friend.

and then, i came home and made a delicious dinner for my husband and son, while eric bathed marin in the sink next to where i cooked at the stove.  pasta, salad, gorgonzola italian bread, meatballs.  while eric finished eating, adam played cars in the living room and i stood next to the table, rocking marin in my arms, finishing a glass of wine, talking about our friends, upcoming travel plans, what we might do tomorrow.  listening to frank zappa, avett brothers, string cheese incident.
all around, it was the perfect day.  the ONLY thing that could have made it better was joining those guys at the farmers' market instead of running errands. man, it was a GORGEOUS day, 75, breezy and sunny - perfection.  now that we're mid-september, these days are limited, i know.   and we all know how limited my days with eric are.

so what are our plans for tomorrow, my THIRTIETH birthday?  eric is going to make us breakfast.  i hope we'll eat all together, in mismatched pajamas with morning breath and messy hair, glasses instead of contacts, coffee mugs steaming nearby, smiles at the funny things adam has to say - such as this recent interaction - me: adam, how did you sleep?  adam: mmmmm, like a banana. adam tells me that he and daddy are going to make me a cake. i hope we'll spend some time outside together, enjoying the last drops of summer. i teach an afternoon yoga class and then eric and i have dinner reservations in the evening. 

i couldn't imagine a more perfect day.
