Great Day!

So, today is my milestone birthday…29 on the 29^th!  I am glad that I am old enough I can appreciate this.  To honor my birthday and as has been tradition, here are 29 things about me {in random order!}

1. It really irritates me when the internet is NOT working!!
2. I got married when I was 19.
3. I used to HATE iced tea, until I  married Jeremy and now we drink gallons of it all year long.
4. I just noticed peanut butter on the back of my hand from helping Preston and Cambree make pinecone bird feeders.
5. I enjoy being in the kitchen cooking and baking for my loved ones.
6. I am a “tech geek”.  An iPad is on my wish list!
7. I am going to have 2 kids in school in August…how did that happen?
8. I like to wear dresses and skirts, even though up until now I haven’t had the opportunity to wear them much.
9. Having dirty kids doesn’t bother me.  I would much rather have rings around the bathtub and clothes that are impossible to get clean than kids who are pristine.
10. I LOVE it when I upload pictures to my computer and get a surprise picture!  My kids love the camera like I do.
11. I just learned there are 45 elves at the N. Pole…according to Cambree!
12. I am hooked on the Twilight saga now.  I needed a summer reading project and thanks to Jennifer, I had the books just sitting in my closet waiting to be read.  I am on the second book already and it has only been 3 days.
13. My new job is fantastic!  I am going to LOVE it.
14. I have a sickness.  I am a surface abuser.  If there is a flat surface I will be the first to make a pile and cover it up. {it’s genetic, my mother has it and so does my grandma betty!}
15. Dr. Pepper is my drink of choice.
16. I am so lucky to have my parents just across town and my in-laws just 20 minutes away.
17. Being “momma” to three kids is so much better than I ever dreamed.  And having three is exactly how it was meant to be.  I always knew I wanted three, then Jeremy convinced me two was enough….little did we know that a mother’s intuition would be right!
18. I like to watch kitschy Christmas movies…all year long.
19. On road trips, I like to be behind the wheel!
20. My heart skips a beat when Jeremy laughs at my jokes.
21. I love raising my kids in the town I grew up in and that they have some of the same teachers I had.
22. I am a sucker for anything with a zebra print.
23. I love the water!  The pool, the lake…bring it on in the summer!
24. I want a travel trailer so that we can enjoy family camping trips.
25. I share my birthday with my nephew Jace.  I will be 50 when he turns the age I was when he was born!
26. I miss my grandma Frazier and wish she was here to see me raise my kids.  I know they would adore her and she them.  I know she watches over us, but what I wouldn’t give to see them interact. 
27. In two months I will have been married 10 years!  Holy cow!
28. There is nothing more exciting that planning a PERFECT party.  The more extravagant the better!
29. Birthdays are a BIG deal to me….they should be celebrated with cakes and parties and love and laughter!

 Our tradition has become to have a "picnic" at the park for my birthday! Here's our lunch date this year.
