36 is going to be great!

My birthday was Friday the 13th and for the first time in a long time, I wasn't afraid to start a new year, especially on a date like that! My 30s have been quite a roller coaster ride so far. I feel like this year I finally get to ride the carousel! It has its ups and downs but at a much slower and more manageable rate. I think I've earned enough life lesson credits to get off the crazy loop to loop and enjoy the scenery for awhile.

All I really wanted this year is some family time and no cooking pass! Since the crazies come out for the one date a year on Valentine's day we try to go out a few days before. We tried Applebee's again. Our last attempt after Christmas did not work out so well. Brady and I didn't get to join everyone else. Somehow the stars and moon aligned and we were able to get in some fun family time. It was even kids day so there was a balloon lady there which resulted in a deafening experience for Marty and the people behind us. If it can pop, Brady will figure out how to do it!

On Friday, Marty stopped at Wegman's for already prepared dinner! WooHoo 2 no cooking nights! We had another fun night of trying to figure out Wii Fit and seeing what our fitness age was. Oh Joy! Unfortunately, the new Wii fit is not working correctly so we need to send it back and that means our fit ages have to be wrong, too;) The Wii has been such a great way to spend family time together. the girls love to race Marty at Mario cart and I have been playing Animal Crossing with the girls, creating our town of McGuire! Beating the cabin fever feeling around here has resulted in many hours of Wii!
