36 years

A few days ago I was looking through one of my old goal journals and found a page of things that WERE and were NOT working in my life.  One of the positive things on the list was this blog.  I am going to try and give it a good shot again.  I know that you, the reader, has heard this all before BUT I have a feeling that this time it will stick.

1. Birthday traditions
Every year Mike and I do something brand new to BOTH of us and spend some time together vs. buying new things.  This year we went axe throwing.  It was pretty spectacular.

2. Flowers from Tara
Friday was my birthday and when I got home from work I had a beautiful bouquet from Tara.  Tara is freaking AMAZING.  I am so pumped that she is on my team.  Without her dedication, eye for something fabulous and her commitment to win - I probably would of jumped off this toothpaste train.

3. Birthday lunch
We have catered lunches EVERY day at work except Friday.  When some of the girls decided to order Jimmy Johns I actually joined in the fun and didn't just pull out my can of soup.  I love love love Jimmy Johns and my sandwich and fountain drink lived up to the hype in my head.

4. Scavenger Hunt
I woke up on my birthday to a scavenger hunt around the house.  It was pretty impressive and took my a long time to figure out some of the clues.  It was a great start to my day.  Rouzer is the best.

5. Homemade cards
I am sure most parents will agree -- homemade cards are the absolute best. So grateful that the boys sit down for a few minutes and use their imagination and share their love with me.

6. Emma's bridal shower
It snowed 8 inches yesterday in Indiana....just in time for our tropical bridal shower.  I must say, we stuck to the theme really well but holy hell did we push the time to the limit.  Thank goodness that Mike was here to chop and prep.  I absolutely could not of pulled this off without his help.
