14. I can't name all of the Kardashians.
15. I wake up before the alarm clock.
16. I think twenty somethings guys are cute. They think I'm friends with their mom.
17. My bathroom sink has become a magnet for anti-aging anything.
18. I used to think other peoples kids are cute. Now, someone needs to teach them manners.

21. When the boys talk about their friends, I still picture Ross and Rachael.
22. My closet is organized by season.
23. I'm quickly learning where every rest room in Greater Cincinnati is located.
24. Coffee is my very best friend.

36. I prefer the scenic route and appreciate a TripTik.
37. I compared Bruno Mars to Elvis.
38. Date night is now dinner and a movie...at home. Who wants to go out on a Friday night?

40. I've considered a shower seat to make shaving my legs a little easier.
41. Ok. I'm not kidding. My back is killing me.
I know that I should dive right in and make the most of it. But each and every minute of this year that goes by reminds me that next year, I'll be saying goodbye to the last of the brood. My heart skips a beat just talking about it.
But today, thanks to all of my favorite guys...I was able to ignore the number and embrace the love!
Thank you to everyone that made the day wonderful!
