36

I turned 36 just a few days ago.  It seems strange that I am at an age that I can clearly remember my own mother being.  I remember life then.  My mom had just had her last baby.  We were a busy, busy, family with everyone doing different activities.  It is a bit surreal to enter into the second half of my 30s.  Joey has been super busy the past few weeks because his State We the People Competition was today.  He took me out to lunch during his prep period/lunch.  I really haven't seen him much this week.  After this weekend though, he should be around more.  The girls each wrote me sweet notes and gave me new cookie dough scoopers.  My mom is coming this week so that we can do a fun project in my living room. I also got a much needed new phone.  Joey hurried home for a quick dinner that he picked up and I enjoyed it along with my birthday crew.  It was a pretty good day--just quiet and with my family.
