THIRTY-SEVEN

WHOA...really...I am that old?!  No matter what the friends say...I am sticking to the fact, that it is my last year in my MID THIRTIES!!!  It has been a great day, and a busy day!  Christian ended up with a last minute playdate, so I got a pedicure, hit lunch with buddies, got some sweet gifts, took kids to well checks, had a great mexican dinner on the patio (that pic got erased :(...boo hoo), and finished it off with scooter riding out front.  ALL GOOD TIMES!!!  I could not have asked for a better day!!! 


I guess Christian was so excited to give me his gift.

 

Who doesn't need some Febreeze?!

My scooter riding boys & me at 37.

2.  I am adopted.

3.  I wish I was stronger in my faith.

4.  There is nothing better to me, than dinner out with girlfriends.

5.  I don't like to mix friends, but might be willing to change this.

6.  I LOVE to exercise, but might love food more.

  3. Oh Cougy coug! I wouldn't change a thing about you either! I love all your quirks even if they make me crazy sometimes. I love that we have become close and have a genuine real friendship. You know the kind where a friend can ask a friend to take down ones wallpaper. And thanks for mixing friends it has helped me get to know you in a way I never would have. Love you Lorie Kennedy! Enjoy the last year of your mid thirties wink wink!
