So today I turned 32. I slept in until 6AM :) when Alexa woke up, and then I slept in again (Ray took Alexa) until 8AM when my sister-in-laws surprised me by rushing to my bed side singing happy birthday. We had breakfast at Einstein Bagels, and then me, Ray, Aspen and Alora, Rach and her family, Steph and her family all went to the Bishop's Storehouse to serve for a few hours. We came home had cake and ice-cream, I opened presents and visited for a bit...and now here I am. Last night I KNEW what I was going to do for my birthday...I have seen on some blogs where when it is someone's birthday that depending on the age of that person they share however many things they like about them...well I am going to share with you 32 things I love about myself...Ray asked if it might not be egotistical but I assured him I do not think I am better than anyone but I am allowed to think that I am awesome :)

Happy birthday- a tad belated;) You are an amazing person & I'm glad the blogosphere makes it a little easier to keep to date with your life & family.
Kudos on the weight loss... it took me a year to lose my weight from Wes and I still need to get into some sort of decent shape, but all I can say is the work to lose is worth it. Good for you!
Happy Celebrating!
