half birthday...

i don't know of anyone else who actually knows and recognizes their half birthdays... well, for one more hour or so, today is my half birthday... how fun is that??? 

for those who don't know - i am living with this absolutely terrific family for the summer and it is mostly chaos, but lots of fun... there are 9 of us who live here altogether - "mom and dad," 5 "brothers" and one "sister" and me- the kids' ages range from 7-24.5 (that's me)... and 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, a bunny, fish and 5 birds... yeah, it's definitely a full house...

tonight they were having a war with air soft pistols in the house... crazy - i was just trying not to get shot... it's so fun... i will be sad to go back to not living with a bunch of people, i think... even though some quiet time alone will be good - and i can always come visit...

it really just makes me feel happy to be surrounded with people... for all 9 of us to sit around the dinner table together and share lives...  what a wonderful concept of family that God designed...

so there's my random bit o'stuff for the day... i hope the weekend is terrific for you!!!
