It’s my birthday!  The big Three Five. Man, that sounds old…but I don’t feel old.  I’m not in college anymore (as was proved this past weekend when I lived it up with my college girlfriends in Miami!), but I’m not ready for the mom jeans quite yet. Yep, 35 seems like it’s going to be pretty good.  I’ve got all that I ever wanted (well, minus a money tree. and maybe a little girl!) but I’ve got all that matters and, for that, I’m very grateful.  Very grateful for my family, very grateful for my sweet boys – all 3 of them – and very grateful for all the adventure the past 35 years have brought.  Here’s to the next 35!

For my birthday, I thought I’d do a little picture round up of the past year like I did for Robert last week.  Does this seem a little self-important? perhaps. But doesn’t this whole blog? exactly. Warning – there’s a lot of selfies in this round-up because, well, that’s just about the only way my picture gets taken most of the time!  But I keep doing it because I have to believe that someday my boys are going to love seeing so many pics of them with their momma (who loves them more than anything).

Here’s to 35! May it bring love, laughter, and adventures big and small!
