It’s my birthday today. I don’t really feel like celebrating and coming up with an idea for this post wasn’t easy. But there were a lot of good things that happened this past year and I decided to post ten of them here – it is the 10th of the month after all!
1. Enjoying and supporting Gabbie through her senior year with dance shows and competitions, getting into colleges and making a decision, and graduation and moving into college. I’m so proud of her!
2. Watching Zachary enjoying his youth group events and trips and living vicariously through him as I used to be a huge youth group participant myself and it was such a big part of my life when I was his age.
3. Celebrating Simon’s bar mitzvah with him and our extended family members who were able to be with us to celebrate!
4. Our winter break trip to Florida and especially the time we spent in the cold Florida Keys. We enjoy making things fun.
5. Our summer trip to Oregon and California. We had a fun time in the rose garden and the forest.
6. I also loved seeing my brother and his family in San Francisco on that same trip.
7. Seeing Billy Joel in concert with all 5 of us.
8. The Chiefs Super Bowl win and parade.
9. Zachary getting his license and making things even easier for me with regards to driving to and from school.
10. Becoming close with a group of women I was supposed to travel to Israel with and hopefully will get to in the coming year.
Always hoping for the next year to be better!
