Today is my birthday. I've been on this earth 33 years now, and most of the time I'm good with that. This past weekend I was fortunate enough to be able to spend the weekend in Portland with my sister and my adorable nephews. We had a blast but most of all we laughed and ate cupcakes at my favorite cupcake place in the world! I decided that today I would post photos that correspond to some things that I like and that I'm thankful for (trying to be more positive in my old age and all....). These are kind of in order of the photos.
1) most of these photos have blue and green in them. My favorite color is Blue. My second favorite color is green
2) I love cupcakes especially when shared!
3)I am in love with the pacific northwest! and so happy to live here
4)I hope to one day meet up with this guy in his natural habitat, because I am also obsessed with visiting Africa
5) I Heart the Ocean and I'm so happy that it's only over the mountains from my house.
6)I love photographing, smelling, receiving and giving flowers of any kind.
7) I really like waterfalls especially those surrounded my large rocks dripping with moss.
8) Wildlife is my hobby, my job and my passion, and anytime I can be up close with nature I'm really happy!
9) I like being silly and don't do it nearly enough. Thank goodness I have the boys to show me how it's done.
10) I don't have a photo here, but I have a wonderful husband, a wonderful family and wonderful friends. Tonight I also get to spend my birthday with my very cool in laws who traveled very far to see B and I and stay for my birthday, and have put up with my crabbiness from a long week at work and frantic over-scheduling from last week that left me stressed and grumpy. We have a nice evening of dinner and some porch time planned before they head back to Illinois tomorrow.
I've decided that this year I want to try and accomplish 33 new things or new places or new challenges. I'm off to a good start, and I'll post my progress here, but I thought who knows....if I can make it to 80 and accomplish 80 things in one year....wouldn't that be something!
Thanks everyone for humoring me on my birthday!

I like that you posted 10 things you like and are thankful for on your birthday...I concur with most of those as you probably can guess. It's great that your trip let you experience all of those (and holy crap, was it warm enough on the coast and in the water for swimming or are the boys oblivious?!?).
I hope that you do post your progress on your 33 new things. It's a great idea and I honestly have complete faith that you'll be able to accomplish that...you constantly impress me with your willingness to try and experience new things.
Last year I did a challenge sort of similar (sort of not)...but I wasn't ready to share it with anybody. I've been thinking a lot of that exercise the past few weeks and knew I'd be doing it again this year...maybe this birthday I'll follow your lead and share.
