52 Moments In My 52nd Year

Saturday, April 20, 2013
Today is my 52nd birthday.
But I began celebrating last night week.

Over sushi, my husband and I began making a list of 52 moments 
I'd like to experience in my 52nd year.
I so needed his help - that's a lot of moments!

The list, written on our sushi order form, would be a smelly reminder,
so the list goes here!




Some of my moments cannot be shared . . . they're uh private.
(That's what happens when your hubby helps write your wish list.)




1.  Sunrise on "our" beach.
2.  Hiking (always) in Palm Springs.
3.  A bike ride to Butterfly Park.
4.  A dip in the ocean.
