THIRTY-TWO YEARS/THIRTY-TWO THINGS I'M THANKFUL FOR!

Yes, tomorrow is my birthday. As I get older, I don't seem to mind them quite so much when I'm turning an even number. It's always easier to remember how old I am when it's an even number. :) We have wonderful plans for tomorrow, which I am very excited about, but I also wanted to celebrate by listing 32 things I'm thankful for.
