As some you you know I love astrology. While talking with my best friend I recently learned about Saturn Return. Astrologically speaking it is your coming of age, one of the most important times in your life... a time of endings and new beginnings. Saturn Return is the first time the planet Saturn completes its cycle through you birth chart and returns to the spot it occupied when you were born. This happens between the ages of 28-30. Today I turned 28. In my reading I have learned that it endows you with prudence, practicality, and the perseverance to work hard toward achieving your purposes. Saturn Return is one of the most crucial turning points you ever experience, when you assume the greatest responsibility of all: responsibility for your own life {disclaimer: as much as I love astrology I only have fun with it--I don't live my life by it}. So this is how I celebrated my Saturn Return...
When questioning me on what I wanted for my birthday I told Gary I wanted to go somewhere warm, by a pool, where I could soak up the sun with my family. And he delivered. He took us to a wonderful resort in Phoenix with warmth and a fabulous pool! We spent the weekend enjoying room service, sunshine and shopping. It was exactly what I wanted.

My actual birthday: I got calls from my family (love the blog post Skye) and friends (thank-you, Summer), went out and canned apples and peaches at my moms {YES I really did want to can on my birthday}, and came home to a lovely dinner and a party (where I recieved a super-soaker from my mother-in-law).
