22.

on the 18th, we spent the majority of the day at the car dealership.
i never knew that buying something so fun..coudl be so miserable!
i felt bad for lynley the most though...no nap and all day being contained. she was so good though. luckily they had popcorn and balloons.

anyways: we traded in our two near death cars for a shiny new one. and i love it.
.

then on my birthday: mom took us to get pedicures & sushi & target. all things that i love. then we went and played at the park with everyone and the kdis loved it. it was a really good day with people i love.

it sorta felt like my 16th birthday..becasue of the car. but also it kinda felt like my 22nd birthday too.

22 is a cool year to be i decided. you don't get to be two of the same digits too many times in your life.

cheers to 22!

lats night deoge's new family came and got him.
lots of kids who were so excited to pet and love on him.
i was sad to see him go, but watched him drive away, perched on his favorite spot on the center console with that goofy wide smile on his face, and it felt right.
lynley just waved and yelled "bye doge!" over and over and blew kisses. she's already over it.
good luck deoge! enjoy your new home!
