Plus some other stuff.
On Friday, I FINALLY turned 30! I feel like I’ve been living the life of a person in her thirties since I was 22, so I’m really glad to finally just be official!
Happy Birthday to me!
For my birthday, Josh got me my dream tea-set! We have had tea (aka: steeped herbal beverage) with it once with the whole family and I am VERY pleased to report that nothing is broken!
It is even more beautiful in real life, if you can imagine that!
I celebrated my birthday by eating anything and everything I wanted and braving a baby-sitter in the pandemic so Josh and I could go on a date! Thanks, Mariel! It was lovely and relaxing, and I feel very celebrated!
Josh figured out this past week what he wanted to do with his birthday money and “motivosity” money. So he bought an electric skateboard. 😀 Josh was into skateboarding as a kid, and his new electric one means he can have all the fun without any of the work! He has taken the kids on many rides and gone on some lengthy pleasure cruises by himself. I must confess, he looks really good on it! (If a little bit like a teenager…) But I don’t have a picture of him on it; I only have a picture of his dad on it. Apparently Dad used to be into skateboarding too.
So fun!
I’ll have to get a picture of Josh on this thing! Especially one with one of the kids!
Anyway, back to business (and I don’t mean the American lady with her cats, sisters).
On Thursday night, we went to Farmington where one of Josh’s LP associates had a GIANT fireworks show in a park near his house. He sends requests each year to the people in the office for the coupons for fireworks that come in the mail, and then invites everyone to come to the show if they want. Well, we sent him a coupon last year, and sent him three coupons this year, so we figured we definitely merited our invitation. Apparently when he began doing this show, it was a group of like 30 people or so who would meet at his house. But it has now grown into a GIANT production at the park with food-trucks, music, and around 700 people in attendance and SO many fireworks! It was fun to be part of it.
The line-up of fireworks! 
Getting ready for the show with glow-sticks 
Bianca quite enjoyed her glow-stick. She quite despised the fireworks. Poor thing! She was really tired.
We had a fun week! But Saturday was the real highlight! Check the next post!
Happy Birthday. I loved Bianca with her glow stick.
The American lady and her cats!
