Birds and Omen's

In the last two weeks we have had several bird injuries in our yard and they have been traumatizing to me and the birds. The first bird accident was a couple of weeks ago. I noticed a bird stuck in between the boards in our fence; poor thing was flapping its wings so hard and there was blood everywhere. After running to the neighbor’s house in a panic for help, the bird was removed from the fence. The little bird’s leg was broke and probably not going to live. The neighbor girl took the bird in hopes of fixing its little leg. After getting an update on the bird a week later I found out that they tried to put a little splint on its leg but it flew off onto the roof of our house. Not sure if it made it after that. The second incident happened this past Sunday. I was letting the dogs out when they ran over to the fence and started to paw at something and bite the air. After rushing over, I found a baby bird frantically trying to get away from my seemingly ruthless mutts. After getting the dogs in the house I ran into where my hubby was and explained the situation with the baby bird. I think he thought I was joking. Finally he came outside and picked the baby bird up and put him in a box. His poor little leg was broken too. My hubby put the box in a somewhat safe spot and I hoped for the best. I can’t help but wonder if this is some sort of omen…..

Happy Birthday to ME

Yesterday I turned 29. For some reason turning 29 seems like turning 40 or something. I’m not saying 29 is necessarily old per se, but it feels like forever to me. In my long 29 years of life I have learned a few things: The things in high school don’t matter as much as you think they do and being popular isn’t everything. Be who you are and comfortable with whom you are. Don’t let anyone define who you should be. Love your family because they are the only ones you have. Life is short and precious; make sure the people who are the most important know you love them. Respect your husband and he will respect you. Love your husband’s family and make sure he loves your family too. Don’t rush into adult hood, let it find you, and appreciate being young and irresponsible! When you are finally an adult be a good example to your younger siblings. Invest in your future and do things that make you happy. Work at a job you enjoy not one you have to enjoy. That’s about all I have learned so far! After reading this I sound so wise in my young 29 years of life! I can’t wait to look back on this next year and compare.
