It is July.
July is a big month for me. I was born on the 5th, and I was adopted on the 8th.
Kinda makes July a big deal for me.
The birthday was good. I'm 25 now. I had a nice dinner with my family. Mom, Dad, and Grandma took me out to dinner at one of my favorite resturants! I had an amazing salad, and incredible entree, and one of the best glasses of wine of my life. Then I went to mom's house to do presents and cake. Home-made angelfood with fresh strawberries inside, and an amazing creamy frosting that's more like whipped cream than anything else. Sooooo Gooooood! And presents... Oh the presents! I ask for a gas card, and they buy me a nook. Holy Goddess my parents are amazing.
Adoption day was quieter. I had to work on Sunday so I didnt really do much other than call the folks to day hi. In the past it was a bigger deal, dinner and presents and special family time. I grew up knowing I was adopted, and looking back, I'm glad. It alwasy made me feel really special to my parents. Of course, I still have unresolved abandonment issues, unresolved anger issues, and lots of feelings ranging from curiousity to despair, but at the end of the day, I'm glad that it is a day that is celebrated in my family.
I still get presents on the 8th. This year it was a teapot! Which is amazing since my last one broke and I am a really big tea drinker. Have I mentioned how much I love my mom!? Because I do.
So, that's the short version of the July update, more to come, I'm sure.
