33.

So it’s a true story.

I turn 33 today.

Is that old?

In true jodyrlanders.com fashion…did you know that we ironically have just 330 stoves that need sponsored by the end of the month?

It’s true. 33 years old today.

330 stoves needed.

I’m not sure that was a very successful connection.

And I know that generally 330 people don’t buy me presents.

But let’s just say, you really wanted to this year.

I want a stove.

330 of them.

(oh my word, I would be so happy if we hit that goal today. It’s not really about me…but sometimes Facebook makes you think it is all about you on your birthday. Anyway….)

A bit of a crazy week as we all thaw out here and try and catch up from last week….

Date with Quincy tomorrow to Seattle Children’s Hospital for his appointments.

Adoption conference in Seattle this week-end with some of my favorite people.

My mom did buy me knives for my birthday.

I asked for them.

I realized I don’t have any that worked.

Makes cooking difficult.

So she sent me knives.

I’ve only cut my fingers four times so far….

33 years old, folks.

I’m very proud.

Andy tried to explain the significance of being 33 to me this morning.

I didn’t much like his reformed theology take on being 33.

No thanks.

I instead think it’s significant because 330 stoves need sponsored for families for Haiti.

(Am I so annoying?!)

I do, however, think it’s going to be a great year.

Feel older than I ever have in my life.

I’m perhaps almost ready to be an adult.

And I know a lot of amazing people.

From all over the country, all over the world…I know the coolest people.

And I’m really thankful.

For you all.

I mean it.

Yay for 33.
