DOOMED

When I was little, one of my favorite books was There's a Monster at the End of This Book. Grover didn't want you to turn another page in the book because after the last page, there was a monster. Every page was one step closer to immediate doom.

Grover, I now know how you feel. This is what is waiting me the next time I flip my calendar:



While the beach is quite an exciting idea, I would by lying if I didn't admit to still being torn up about turning 30. Life is pretty great right now, yes; but still. It's THIRTY.

*Another great childhood book: the Ernie & Bert book, where Bert can't find anything because Ernie moved it. I imagine I will be relating to that one before too long, what with my old age and all.

OCCASIONED

I really did not intend to go the entire month of May without even a tiny update but oh well. It has been a month full of occasions.

Mother's Day was a big occasion in that Matthew and I hosted both our Moms at my house for an amazing meal. No group pic, just the meal:



We celebrated Jay finally getting his plate on the wall at the Flying Saucer (technically this was the after party):




My favorite set of twins turned 29:




Little occasions are nice too. In this case, dressing up for a date (also, no beard):



But back to the big occasions. Looks like there will be a really grand occasion coming up later this fall:


And in between all of those fun times: sunshine, sunshine, sunshine.
