A New Decade!

It finally happened. I turned 30. After my birthday last year, I said that I was no longer going to celebrate birthday's, only anniveraries of my 29th birthday. It was really hard for me to turn 30. It just didn't seem right that I was 30. It seems like I just turned 21. But then I look around and see my beautiful kids, one of which is turning 6 in march and I realize that it is true. I am actually 30. I am not the type of person that had a "list" of things I wanted to accomplish before I turned 30, but it was still a weird feeling.
As it turned out, I had a wonderful birthday. I came home from work to find that my parents had driven from Alliance to surprise me! How wonderful! Of course, I was sick though. I have always been sick on my birthday for as long as I can remember! We had a great weekend though. We went to Olive Garden for a yummy lunch and my parents bought be a beautiful new outfit! Afterwards we made some yummy dinner and hung out at home. Sunday I woke up and knew that I needed to go to the doctor. My mom took me and yes, the doctor looked at me funny! Turns out I had an eye infection, sinus infection, and ear infection. Just par for the birthday course! I came home and took a nap while my mom made the yummiest seafood lasagna! Afterwards we watched an awesome super bowl! Monday my parents headed home and it was back to normal. I was so excited to spend the last days of my 29th year with my parents, it was wonderful!
On the day of my birthday, I got to open presents from Chad and the kids! I got an awesome new crockpot, tea maker, and some new perfume! It was such a great birthday! I guess a new decade isn't all that bad. :)
