Happy Birthday To Me 4 days late.

I celebrated my 32nd birthday a couple of days ago, so since I posted 100 things about me, I thought I would post the 32 things I have done since my last post which was almost a month ago.. gulp.

1. Went to Hershey PA to visit Tasha and Evie (we took like 1 picture the whole week- ridiculous).
2. Lulu and I went with Adam to a conference in Little Rock Arkansas
3. Read "The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America"
4. My mom made: a quilt for Teddy, 4 pillowcass for Lulu, 2 receiving blankets, 1 dress, and 1 bag for Lulu
5. We celebrated Lulu's 3rd birthday.
6. Celebrated Mother's Day with a "surprise" birthday party at a friend's house
7. Watched the ducks walk the red carpet every morning and night at the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock.
8. Adam gave me a new camera for my birthday, Mother's Day, and every other holiday that usually involves a gift. I'm excited to have something that has a faster shutter speed than my current camera that has a 3 second delay.
9. Ate dinner at the same restaurant for the 2 nights we were in Little Rock- Flying Fish.. delicious!
10. With the assistance of my mom cleaned out my closets and reorganized.
11. Enjoyed three glorious weeks with my mom.
12. Bought my ticket to Rome
13. Finally felt Teddy moving around a bit.
14. watched that crazy show "The Mormons"- yikes.
15. Ate at our favorite restaurant for our birthday. Chuy's.. delicious.
16. Bought a birthday card for Adam (did you know our birthday is the same day?)
17. Organized a crawfish boil for this weekend.
18. Organized my baby clothes- I only have 6 pieces that a boy can wear.. yikes.
19. Getting ready for a week in Louisiana with my girlfriends
20. Experienced the last day of Lulu's school.
21. Took my mom to see my girlfriend's amazing jewelry she designs
22. Bought maternity clothes.. already.
23. Several amazing sweet packages arrived for my birthday. Thank you everyone.
24. Lots of playdates and trips to the park
25. Organized a ward activity (dinner groups) and started planning our Pinewood Derby
26. worked lots of hours for my real estate agent
27. I went to see the Clinton Library.
28. Went to the Hershey Chocolate Factory for the last time (well at least any time soon).. sniff sniff.
29. planned a little party with family and a few close friends for Lulu's birthday.
30. Made Lulu a BLUE cake for her birthday.. what she requested.
31. got a pedicure for my birthday.
32. Realized I need to do something special every birthday from now on!

I cannot believe how much I have neglected the blogging community recently. Life has been a little crazy and I just haven't been good about sitting down at the computer on a regular basis. I'm crazy until the end of the month, but I hope things will settle down soon.

Oh my gosh you have been busy! Happy, happy birthday dear Lara. You are a wonderful, lovely, creative, bright and thoughtful person. I so wish I could have joined you in PA--next year please, please.

A few comments on your list. Recently read that book too--CRAZY man wasn't he?? I had no idea you and Adam share a birthday. Is that good or bad? And um, YIKES, indeed about the PBS special. Very strange tone to whole thing.

What a great list! I'm sad that I missed your birthday, but I do have a little something to pop in the mail. 3 glorious weeks with your mom?? I've never had that much with my mom since I left home, so jealous.

So funny that you and Adam share a birthday, I wonder how that works. Do you still feel like you have a day just for you? I think I might have to make him celebrate the day before or after!

Rome! Can't wait to see the pictures from that trip. So what's the new camera?

Feeling baby move! My favorite. It seems you have a lot of good stuff happening.

Re 14:

I liked the show. I think we'd be hard pressed to have been treated better by a major news establishment. I thought it was pretty fair, albeit with a few reservations. I'm confused at the general backlash of the members of the church, like yourself on this matter. What am I missing?
