33 years

I want to take a moment and look at 33 years by the numbers. If you break it down it works out to the following numbers in various degrees!
1,720 weeks and 5 days
395 months and 3 weeks
12,045 days
289,080 hours
17,344,800 minutes
1,040,688,000 seconds
That's a lot of math and those numbers may or may not look like a lot, depending on who you are.

To me, 33 years is 12,045 days that have, for the most part, flown by with a variety of emotions, good, bad, happy, sad, boring, exciting, fun and a whole host of other emotions.

Three landmark days including four pregnancies and three births include June 6, 1988, August 4, 1989, and June 3, 1992, or in other words three kids birth days.

In addition, we have added three more landmark days of July 23, 2016, October 8, 2017, and January 14, 2017, the three marriages of our three kids to landmarks of the past 33 years. And the addition of three more very special people who joined our family.

The past 33 years represent a lot of time, love, commitment, hard work, holidays, birthday's, loads of laundry, a lot of food, shoes, toothbrushes, doctors visits and a ton of other. daily happenings. The holidays, trips, practices, dance classes, graduations, first days, last days, sports, dance performances, family photos, off to college, engagements and a host of other events.

It has included the passing of one grandparent, three parents, a brother and a sister-in-law. The birth of three kids, 9 nieces, and nephews, and one great-nephew.

We have seen friends come and go. And said goodbye to people we miss along with welcomed new friends and family into our lives. Buying a house, a wide variety of pets, vehicles, first dates, prom clothing, speech contests, basketball camps, drivers licenses and a ton of other memories.

But to me a represents a whole lot of love and a family.

**okay I confess I just googled and it took me to a website that broke it down 33 years by days, month, minutes, seconds, etc. I dislike math too much to go through that much work!
