Looking in awe at the blessings in my life, and counting gifts with Ann today.
I’m grateful for girls who understand that dressing up in old bridesmaid dresses doesn’t mean midlife crisis, but midlife fun {10}.
Sunday afternoon tennis dates {11}.
Five Guys Burgers and Fries {12}.
A mother/daughter meet-up in Louisville {13}.
My beat-up, back deck {14}.
An upcoming writers' conference. . .eeek {15}.
Small fingers full of ketchup {16}.
Tiny feet making a little trampoline squeak {17}.
Happy Monday, friends.
Oh, and I was sort-of joking about me being "midlife". However, after a quick google, I realized, surprise, 36 is indeed midlife. I must go and continue about my day in celebration.

Looks like SO much fun! A mother-daughter meet up in Louisville? You'll have to let me in on that one. I was just there, visiting Aiden.
I'm excited about an upcoming writers conference, too -- coming very soon!
Happy week to you, Amy.
Those dresses are awesome! Looks like fun.
I've quit thinking about what midlife really is. Because most likely I am beyond midlife.
What writing conference are you attending?
Blessings!
Ooooh, wish I was where you are!!! I've got a red dress that's dying to be worn! Looks like my kind of fun. :)
what?!! no irridescent soap bubble light as a blessings?? :P
those pics are hilarious! if only you included one of yourself!! (hint! hint!)
and so excited for your #15!!!
Hilarious!!
Laura,
How fun! I didn't know that's where your Aidan lived. Louisville is a midpoint for my mom who is in Chicago, and me here in NC.
Charity,
It's the Carolina Christian Writers Workshop in South Carolina. I think it is going to be pretty small, but I'm excited.
Katie,
I would have loved to see your red dress. The dress of mine that was "dying to be worn" had a little issue zipping up. My husband's quotes were "If I had three hands I could do this" and " I could try the pliers". Sigh. Instead, I wore a pink much-less-sassy dress.
Renee,
Um, yes, there is a reason I didn't post a pic of myself. Above comment applies. Oh, and I'm waiting to see if my friend Lori recognizes the dress you are wearing. . .it was from her wedding!
this is why i need to take all of my bridesmaid dresses over the ocean, right;)
aww...i'm going to a conference and i wish you were too, but it's not just writers, though a zondervan team will be there--i wish we could go together amy!
and love YOU counting gifts...thankful for you and always smiles and laughs and more smiles!
So glad to see I'm not the only one who's ever done this!! BTW--Five Guys--truly a religious experience! :-)
Happy List! Hi-larious pics. ditto Five Guys.
what a fun party! so funny! and if you are correcto n the mid-point, then i am well-past midlife....not sure how i feel about that!
Can I be in denial about the mid-life thing?
Fun pictures; hope you enjoy that writer's conference :)
Can I just say that anyone who can still fit into old bridesmaid dresses can not really be mid-life.
Five Guys...YUM!
The writer's conference sounds exciting. =)
I want to hang with the cool girls! You know, the ones who just know to have a good time? That looks like you and your friends, Amy. What a blessing to have such a group of girlfriends!
I love your photos - what a happy time! And by the way, if 36 is mid-life - I hesitate to know what I am! Thanks for sharing :)

That is HILARIOUS!
Amy, how fun. Mid life crisis' should always be fun. My husband had an actual crisis at mid life but refuses to let me call it that because he didn't get a sports car or join a rock band or anything like that. The mid life crisis must be FUN!
And ours, Isabelle the soon to be 6 year old, still is. Thanks for stopping by.
Can I just say that I will second the motion on the floor that you post a picture of yourself? Pretty please with a cherry on top?
I love the pictures! It looks like you had a great time! I guess this means that at the age of 37, I'm on the downward slope. :)
By the way, thanks for stopping by my blog.
What a riot! Hope you have equally as much fun at the writing conference and return to tell us all about it--with pictures, of course!
It is totally about fun! Good for you.
I really like the goose pictures! 36 should not be midlife!! That's just scary!
FUN! Looking forward to hearing more about your writing conference. (and I love 5 Guys too...yum!)
Love your blog, Amy! Come see the award you won on my blog!
Happy Birthday, A! You are the very definition of fun and all things happy and joyful. Glad to see my dress made the cut, but I'm missing the pic of you :) I am not accepting the bit about 36 being mid-life. Great post and pics! And, very excited about the conference for you. Can't wait to hear about it.
What a great idea!! Love it. No crisis here, just awesome fun!
now this looks like so much fun! I think mid life is the best. You know how to play it looks like:) Oh - how is 5 guys burgers? I've heard it was really good but I've never gone...I know..kinda off the subject but its food;)
xo
Love this post!! Fun times!
You celebrate so well...as long as you don't set your dresses on fire with those sparklers! :)
Um, funny you should mention that. . .there was a bit of a spark and a teeny, tiny hole in one of the dresses.
