Well I am now 27. 3 years closer to 30. I remember when I was a kid and thinking 30 was so old. Deep inside I still feel this way...I'm dreading 2013, the year of the thirty. It's so weird sometimes because I still think of myself in my early 20s. Now I know what my mother has been talking about for decades. I could never relate before.
This birthday Jeremy had 24 hour staff duty (just like this year's anniversary), so we celebrated with our little family over the weekend.
Jer got me an oreo ice cream cake from Coldstone. He and I would have oreo eating contests when I was prego with Brayden.
I also received a new compact (compared to my dslr) camera. I was pleasantly surprised by this gift, as I didn't think it was necessary. But it does have the video option, hence all these videos now on the blog.
Honestly, I think he felt bad because I've been searching for my old one since we moved here. It was just a couple weeks ago that he realized that camera was in his tackle box that he sold at our garage sale in Hawaii for $30...he never thought to open the box before handing it over. Probably the best deal that person ever got at a yard sale!
Lastly, I am super thankful for all the birthday cards I received in the mail. To know someone is thinking of me on the day I was born is the best gift ever!
I'm only a month away from the dreaded 30...I remember feeling like it was still a long way off and then all of a sudden it just sneaks up on you. Funny how I can remember my own mom's 30th birthday like it was yesterday!
ReplyDeleteI think you will find when the time comes that 30 is actually much easier to embrace than you thought it would be, especially since your life is settled with an amazing husband and 2 beautiful kiddos. I feel better about it knowing that I get to ring in my 30s as a mom and wife...I think I would probably be much more depressed about turning 30 if I were single and on my own.
Ok I now WANT that CAKE!! That looks sooo yummy! Don't worry...30's are not so bad, it's just weird knowing you are no longer 20 something. Hope you had a fabulous birthday. Sorry my card didn't make it, I still have another friends sitting here, my mind just isn't the same these days. But I do love you and I miss you guys!
