My 30th Birthday

As I look back over the last thirty years, I can't believe how fast time goes by. I know it's so cliche to say that, but it's so true. The past ten years have especially flown by. I remember back when I was 18, thirty years old seemed SO OLD! Now, here I am.

I am really excited for my 30's! Many have said how much more they loved their 30's compared to their 20's. I look forward to it!

I couldn't have asked for a better birthday. It began when I took my girls to our weekly playgroup, and my friends had baked cupcakes for me. I took the girls to McDonald's for lunch and then spent a few hours relaxing while Ashley played at a friends house and the other two slept. After Madison and Rylee woke up, another friend of mine offered to watch them for me so I could run a few errands.

Around dinner time Chris arrived home from work with these beautiful flowers. My sister watched the girls so we could go on a date.

Chris took me to dinner at Trio. I love that place!

After dinner I told him I needed to stop by Barnes and Noble to buy Bakerella's book. I had no idea that he had put a Nook on hold for me and that he was going to stop by there anyway, but hadn't come up with a good excuse yet. As I went looking for her book inside the store, he said he needed to visit with someone at the checkout line. Sneaky guy! He wanted to capture me opening my present.

SO EXCITED!!

Admiring my new gift on our way to the movies.

When we arrived home, my sister had put all three girls to bed so I could just relax. It was such a wonderful day.
