This blog chronicles the lives of the Caffee Clan: Brian, Kelly, Josh, Jason, Lauren and Katelyn as we navigate life as a large, loud, military family that lives on the verge of complete chaos! I'm Kelly, AKA "Mom", "Mama", "Babe" or the "1SG's wife", I am 37, a stay-at-home-mom that dreams of someday working in the marketing field. I love photography, scrap booking, healthy eating and cooking, my family, music and dancing!! I have a fetish for gross medical stuff, like unusual diseases or strange growths, and sometimes I wish I was a midwife. As you read, you might notice that I have an slight obsession with cleaning and germ-avoidance, but do not fret, I am aware and I am working on it. And I love making lists! I have lots of opinions about lots of things and this is what is represented here! I'm not always right (wait, I'm NOT??) but I always have something to say!!!

Turning 39.....

I start the last year of my 30's tomorrow. Birthdays usually don't bother me one bit - I actually love them - but this one seems to have me a bit down. Maybe I'm feeling my years? I am absolutely seeing them - lines in skin that used to be smooth and gravity winning the battle to deflate what used to be full and drop what used to be high! It's not just physical though, I'm wondering if I'm now middle-aged? Is this middle-age? My life is full and busy and rich and I have great friends and an awesome family. I am in a good place emotionally, too , so what is up??? Is this normal? I'm not really looking for an answer to that.... Ahem, I digress.

What I am looking for are some ideas on how to celebrate my last year of my 30's. Any ideas? What did you do that was exciting or fun or just plain insane? Tell me!!!
