32

Yup, 32, that is how old I turned about a week ago.  I don't feel how I thought I would feel at 32.  You know, when you were 20 and thought that 30 is so old....When you thought all those 30 year olds had it all together.  Well, I don't feel old, and I don't have it all together, but I must say, I am enjoying my 30s a lot more than my 20s.  Well, maybe not more, but definitely in a  different way.  No more late nights drinking and hanging with my girls.  I mean, I still hang out with my girls, but it's more of an early evening, with maybe a drink or two, if that.  And now there's rarely a time when David and I go out to dinner and drinks with friends.  Now it's more of a "come over to our house and we will bbq and maybe have a drink or two. And be sure to bring the kids so they can play too." I don't know, maybe it's not a 30 year old thing, maybe it is a "been there, done that thing." Or a "I have kids now, so going out  every weekend doesn't appeal to me."  Whatever  it is, I am in a good place now....32 is going to be a good year.

So anyway, my birthday.  David surprised me by coming home from work early.   We  just spent a nice quiet evening together...well, as quiet as it could be with  Samantha and Caleb.  Sammie really wanted to make me cupcakes, so that is what she and David did.  And then, I got my gift.  David got me an external hard drive.  I  was so excited.  I know, like David said, "It's not a girly gift." but I have been wanting one for a long time!  It is great, somewhere to back up all my files...mainly pictures and  videos. I love that David knows me so well that he knows what I want  and will buy it, even if it isn't "girly."  Last year, it was a new smart phone, this year an external hard drive.  I can't wait for next year!  :)
