three five

I typed it that way because seeing "35" blows my mind.

I think that I am mostly satisfied with my life. I feel lucky to have a great marriage, it comes so naturally that Dave is my best friend; our relationship at times seems effortless. He has made me very happy, to say the least.

Heather, Theresa and Drew are a source of joy in my life. My children are becoming adults before my eyes. I am excited to see the people they will become. I feel like I wasn't quite settled into adult hood until I was in my mid twenties, so it will be interesting to help them on their own journey to the land of grown-ups.

I have wonderful parents and in-laws. I know that they have my back, that they will do anything they can for me; and that is a tremendous comfort. I have a network of extended family that keep me humble and grateful, and connected to the most important things in life.

I have the gift of great, long lasting friendships. Knowing that some one has seen you through the worst parts of you life and that they are still there when you need them is a blessing. I love that I can stay in touch with you, that we can still talk for hours.

I love my job. I find the patient care satisfying and fulfilling. My fellow employees and the doctors are really my second family. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like a job. I am lucky to get paid to do what I love.

The only thing that is lacking is my Nursing degree. But, that will come.

Now for the superficial stuff: I like to color, still. I really want a crayola crayon maker. I like bubblegum. I love to read. I love to just hang out at home. I like to help Dave cook. I love going to the library and the used book store here in town. I like my rainbow socks. I love to laugh. I still hate watermelon. I miss going to school. I have an obsessive need to clean. I love a good cup of coffee. I like listening to 90's pop and alternative; some of those songs were important in my formative years.

I am 35!
