Last Day to be 33!

Tomorrow is my birthday!  I love my birthday. Lou on the other hand doesn't think birthdays are very big deals , he and his brother Mark talk about how well we didn't do anything to get born, so why is it special.

Lou does know however that I love it so he treats me very special and spoils me on my birthday and basically all week before my birthday! I am like Loralei for all my Gilmore Girl loving friends I love to celebrate all week before my birthday, seriously it only comes once a year just to celebrate you why not enjoy it!

33 was a good age for me.   Some highlights

  • We bought our first house bonus its in a FANTASTIC neighborhood!
  • Josh started Kindergarten so that means I am home a lone all day.  I never thought that day would come when I had Kira nearly seven years ago. 
  • Many ups and downs with my thyroid.   I have though for the last few months have felt better than I have since before being pregnant with Kira!
  • I am the assistant troop leader for Kira's Girl Scout troop.  I love it because I get to see my friend Alyssa every week, one of my all time favorite people!
  • I got a job at the bookstore.  
  • Got to see my sister and spend time with her,  when I'm 34 I'll spend time with her in Florida :)
  • I became an aunt again, when Roman was born and found out my three sister-in-law are pregnant and due in July, August and September! 
  • Spent a lot of time with good friends and have a new tradition of Glee Night with Robin and Rachelle!
  • Robin, Bridget and I still have bookclub although we changed it to "Smokin' Hot Sweet Chicks Night" since Robin discovered she isn't a reader and Bridget has four kids, countless pets and is now home schooling her kids!  
  • I love Blogger Book Club, I still get a chance to read and discuss a book and chat with such cool girls. 
  • Lou and I started our service mission last Monday.  I have a missionary tag again its cool!  Lou is now Elder Allen as a missionary which is awesome since he didn't get to do that at 19.
  • I discovered I love being busy but not so busy I don't get my quiet alone time. 
  • I lost an uncle who I love.  We miss you Uncle Bob.
  • I got to see and renew a friendship with my cousin Tiffany when she and her cute kids came out for Bob's funeral.
  • Got a piano from Lou's aunt and uncle
  • lots of walking to and from Edgemont Elementary 
  • discovered work out videos on Netflix
  • went to a movie by myself for the first time in my life (HP 7)
  • Made new friends in my new ward
  • Fell in love with Jimmer like the rest of the nation (though I liked him clear when he was coming off the bench when he was a Freshman)
  • Saw my Jazz team make more changes in a month than they have in twenty years
  • discovered many new yummy recipes (curry chicken, buffalo chicken dip, bread machine recipe, oatmeal cookies are among the top)
  • didn't leave the state of Utah :(
  • Seen my kids grow by leaps and bounds.  Especially Joshy coming out of his shell and Kira' learning French and piano
  • Fallen more and more in love with Lou!
Alright probably more than you wanted to read but I really did love being 33 and there is probably more that happened that I just can't think of right now :)

HaHa! I am so happy I didn't put your age on your cake because I was going to put 33! I know that you are a year older than me, and since I am 32 that means you must be turning 33--- ummm, right. no.

Happy birthday! Here's hoping that 34 leaves you even more joyful. :)
