notes: went to way fewer concerts than I think I have since moving in NYC - I attribute this to the new job. This will change in my 33rd year. I saw way more movies in the theater than usual - 9 - that is a lot for me...

I'd have to say, all in all 32 was a really, really good year. I can't begin to tell you about the lessons learned or the the beauty I've seen - this year was phenomenal. I was not without its low points but they too were filled with lessons. 32 meant saying goodbye to a childhood friend, R.I.P. Benji.

Tomorrow morning at 8:50 I entered this world 33 years ago in a small British hospital, they handed my mom a pint of Guinness.

Since we were uptown for the parade, I decided we'd check out another iconic NYC spot.



Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Back in the beginning of October, I suggested to my family that we should take Cailynn and Jeremy to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I am so glad we went, so much fun!




Sailor Mickey, my favorite balloon.








This right here captures exactly why I thought we should go to the parade. love.
