I turned 31 last Friday. Thirty-one years has passed since my first cry. Ten years has passed since I became a legal adult.
The Husband and I discussed extensively about the changes in my life in the past ten years. As I look back at my own life so far, I wish to give thanks for:
# Every new day that I wake up to.
# For the Grace that saved me, and then The Husband.
# For the major life milestones that I have crossed in the past 10 years - Becoming a Mrs., becoming a homeowner, becoming a mom, and then becoming a mom second time round.
# For family ties that are brought closer as we mellow in age.
# For the joy experienced in good times and the lessons learned in bad times.
And as I celebrated the special day, here is what I was thankful for:
# For the good weather as we all trooped down to SBG for a picnic.
# For pretty maxi dresses, made for both grown and little women.
# For the Husband who took time off work just to spend the day with me and our little ones.
# For moist, spongy, light and not-too-sweet chocolate fudge cake.
# For the love felt in the form of well-wishes, hugs and kisses from loved ones every time I add one more candle onto my cake.
What are you thankful for this week?

Your wedding gown looks so much like my evening gown. Pink and frilly :)
It's red actually. Now that you said it, it does looks like dark pink here huh?

Hi June, thanks for dropping by! I have actually dropped by your blog a few times through Jus. Oh yes! We held our customary dinner there, except I remembered it wad called The Legends then. No? I had mine in 2007. What about you?
