"The happiest people I know ... are those who, while in pursuit of worthy goals, discover and treasure the beauty and sweetness of the everyday moments. They are the ones who, thread by daily thread, weave a tapestry of gratitude and wonder throughout their lives. These are they who are truly happy." ~Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

33 and Perfect
33 is the perfect number. I'm certain of it. I actually am thrilled to be 33. Sometimes I feel a little shocked that some of the next numbers are so close down the path, but I feel like the 33rd year is going to be a wonderful one to the record books. Thanks to so many friends and family who made it wonderful.
Birthday highlights included the following: a spontaneous surprise party from family including Hoops and Yoyo and Justin Bieber cards, a rainbow cake, the grandkids pulling party popper streamers, and all the sweet messages of love shared with me;
celebrating with several friends over brownies and chips and soda; flowers and a custome made fabulous t-shirt made just for me commemorating my love of swimming; and all the restaurants that give away free food and goodies on your birthday. I drove around picking up all the free food so that my roommates and I could enjoy the free stuff for dinner. (Sephora gave me free lip gloss, which I love.)
I'm so loved.
I'm so lucky.
Really, I'm just so blessed.
p.s. My goal this year.... somehow, someway find a way into Disney's Club 33.
