Krista has officially turned 25! Wow, we are all getting old. A funny thing about my childhood that always bothered me was that my younger sister had her birthday before me. This concept was so disturbing. I remember always feeling upset, sad and jealous because I was older so I should have my birthday first. Instead I would have to wait through her fun, presents, cake and party...then four days later it would finally be my birthday. It probably took about 10 years till my Grandma Aitken once said to me, "It doesn't mean she is older than you it's just that she was born on a different day earlier in the year than you." Finally my age and maturity had finally kicked in and what she said made sense. But I've always remembered it bothering me. It could have been the combination of the birthday thing and that people would always think she and I were twins or that I was younger because she was tall and I was short! Oh, the complexes I was given as a child. No worries now, I clearly understand that she is younger and cute at that! Happy Birthday!!
This had to be the highlight of the night. After dinner and cake we went to the church to play dodge ball and a good game of basketball. Once we tried out dodge ball and it didn't really seem to come together, we tried bball. So with two pregnant ladies and Krista who has never played since Junior High we were a pathetic group at that. The best moment was when Ange "SLOW BREAK" (instead of a fast break!) down the court trying to make a score when we were chasing after her. Krista came to her rescue and said, "Ange, go while no one else is coming!" It was hilarious because she had put her arm around her as if to help gently guide her down the court...very slowly! Anyways, we were stuck laughing so hard at watching the pregnant ladies play basketball! Hey, we had a great work out and it was full of laughs. So fun!
