thirty

I am thirty today. That's really all I have to say about that.

Just joking (kind of). I certainly have a lot to show for my 20's. I can think of four things in particular, plus a 10 year marriage.

It really has been an amazing birthday! Friday night, Bud took me to dinner and to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venentian. It was so good. We had great seats where the chandelier dropped right on top of us. Then Bud was amazing and took the kids Saturday and Sunday while I made a quick trip to Phoenix to see my dearest friends, Dana and Megan. We ate at my favorite sandwich shop in Gilbert, Flancer's, then did a little shopping. Dana's husband surprised us that night with a "fascinating" scavenger hunt that included a movie, dinner, and a couple other stops all around town. It was so much fun! This morning the kids woke me up with cards and a couple presents then breakfast at my favorite - The Original Pancake House. When we walked out to the car at 7am, my car was covered in 30's. Thank you to my sweet friend, Courtney who came by late last night with that surprise. She's also the one who left the crazy dolls outside my house. Apparently she likes stalking around my home late at night. : )

I'm so grateful for my life and even moreso, the people in it. If things keep going the way they are, my thirties should be fantastic!
