This birthday came with the perfect surprise! Friday night I got home from dinner with a friend only to see one of my favorite families piling out of thier suburban. My big brother Chad had brought his cute family up from Florida to spend the weekend with me. We hung out here at the house, we teased eachother, we relaxed, we played games, we watched the cousins play and giggle and wrestle. It was the perfect weekend!

Surprisingly, being married to an almost fourty year old didn't prepare me for turning thirty the way I thought it would. Numbers and Age never really meant anything to me.... until this last week. Not that I care how old I am but it make me realize how much I've changed in my twenties. How different I am and how much more comfortable I am, being me. Don't get me wrong, I still have a lot of personal progress to make but, as I look back on the last 10 years I'm kinda proud of who I've become and how I've grown. I like who I am, I love my family and my relationships within it and I love my friendships and how even those have grown over the years, I love my marriage and how that has evolved and grown over the last ten years, I love my life! So, my thoughts on being thirty? I am so blessed. I am so happy and I can't wait to see what the next thirty bring me!

Hopefully it will include lots of fun family time just like this!
THANKS CHAD, TERI and DOUG for making my birthday PERFECT!
Love you!
