40 Things for 40
Today I turn 40! Guess I'll have to update my bio so it doesn't say "thirty-something" anymore....

It's that time of year again.... I'm not sure if anyone even does these kinds of posts anymore, but since I've been largely absent from the internet this year I thought I'd still continue the mini tradition of posting my Instagram best nine.
