Joining the 30 club

"Some birthdays are more meaningful than others because they remind us of

where we've been,

what we've learned,

and where we've yet to go."

This sentimental thought brought to you by Hallmark

Today I turn 30.

My mom tells me I was born in the morning, but she lost all credibility the day I found out that my birth story- the story I was told all my life about how special and unique my birth was- was really in fact my brothers.

This morning I woke up to a longer than usual kiss on the neck by Nate followed be a quick "happy birthday" as he ran out the door for work.

An hour or so later the kids came in to get me out of bed. Scribbled signs led me down the hall and to the kitchen where a homemade breakfast and a "Happy Birthday" banner were waiting for me.

Last night I was surprised by a group of friends who took me to dinner and karaoke.

Tonight I've planned myself an awesome 80's party with my family. It's going to be epic.

I think turning 30 is going to be good. Real good.

(baby E thinks it's going to be good too)
