Happy Birthday to Me!!!!

Oh gosh where do I even start with this blog. Where did 34 years go? I don't feel 34 years old but my body does tell me different. So I try to gauge it off where other people were/are at. I look at my mom. At 34 years old, she had four small children at home and one on the way(that was me) A husband who was 36 and a marriage that was 10 years old. Here I am am, two kids 8 and 10 (the same age as moms oldest) and husband who is older than he looks(don't worry honey I wont tell) and a marriage 12 years in the making. What I do know is 34 years old is different for everyone so far. And I can't mark my life off compared to someone else.

So this is what I do know, this is my year for change and branching out. Yesterday was a day we tried new things. We ate at Chino Bandido and had Mexican Chinese for lunch, oh and I had a beer before noon. Not that I am going to make that a habit but it was twelve somewhere right? Kent taught the girls to use chopsticks(Aubrey was a natural) and they loved using them so much they asked if we could get real chopsticks so the only logical place to go Lee Lee's market in Chandler. There is no way to explain it, but you have to go. There is a different lifestyle there that is completely different from my Chandler Az life. It was a window into a different world that the girls caught a small glimpse of. I hunted down some Japanese candy I had when I was about Aubreys age when we went on a field trip to Sakura Square in fourth grade. It is a chewy orange candy with rice paper which you eat and it is yummy. Both girls were a little reserved about eating it, Kent couldn't blame them. I asked them if they thought I would lead them astray. No hesitation and in perfect unison I heard a resounding"yes!" No girls, momma doesn't mess around when it comes to candy.
Well 34 years and we are racing to 35, but here is a little secret, hold on and hold on tight because this Webster Family is surely going for an awesome ride!!
