Celebrating 39

I hope everyone is having a great summer so far! My day started off with a surprise breakfast from the kids. They woke up at 5:30 and drove to Starbucks, but the line was too long so they went to McDonald’s instead so we would have enough time to eat together before Mike had to leave for work.  As I enter the final year of my thirties, I thought it would be fun to list some fun, appropriate, inappropriate, random, pointless things you may or may not know about me.
