it's true...

i am the big 3-0. i have entered a new decade. and i'm not sure how i feel about it.

actually, to be honest with you, it was one of the best birthdays i've had in a long time. lots of people remembered and called or texted me, work was super nice to me, i was spoiled with gifts, got to spend the afternoon with a good friend/conversation, even took a walk because it was nice enough outside (which was a present in itself), and hank and i went on the hottest date ever. and i'm not just saying that. it really was hot. i even bought a dress for the occasion. i felt really special. so totally worth it.

so even though i was afraid i would feel old now, it's not as bad as i thought it would be. i don't feel older. i just have to say that i'm older. when people ask me, i have to begin my answer with a number that's higher than 2. and that's kind of weird. besides that, and feeling like my biological clock is ticking too fast to crank out those 6 other kids (joke), i am cool with my new age.

so thank you to all of you who remembered me, and made this big one such a great day. i was nervous that it would be terrible and be like an omen to how my 30's would go, but it wasn't that way at all. it was awesome. i was super stoked to have had such a stellar day.

and this part is for the grandparents especially. check out your little granddaughter...

and you guys will get the chance to see it first hand when we come to see you next weekend, but i thought it would still be fun for you to feel like you were seeing her walk really good for the first time too. i knew you guys would love it as much as we do.

okay, that's it for now. rock on dirty 30's. rock on.
