30 on the 30th

I hate to admit it, but here goes...I am 30 today. I think that means it is my golden birthday or something? I am still having a little trouble believing I am no longer in the 20's. But here are some things I have learned about turning 30:

I can no longer sleep through the night without having to get up and go to the potty.

I can no longer go to bed at night without taking an antacid.

I have noticed quite a few new lines on my face, especially around my eyes and a little around my mouth. But, no gray hairs yet - unlike my younger sister who does have gray hair!

I was thinking about having a little pity party for myself and eating the whole birthday cake (I made for myself) by myself. TJ is never home anymore and it hasn't been fun being a single mom lately, so I thought I would have a pity party. Then I got these beautiful flowers delivered to my home from a friend and countless friends and family have called wishing me happy birthday. And I got some beautiful cards in the mail too - thanks guys!! You saved me from eating all those calories :) I like to pretend I can decorate cakes like my sister Steph, obviously from the picture I cannot decorate very good, but I like to try. And here is a picture of the pretty necklace and earrings my parents gave me, but I couldn't get a picture of the earrings, so you can just see the necklace. I just got back from young women's and my girls made it special too with presents, cards, brownies, cupcakes and lots of hugs. Thanks everyone for making it a special birthday! I am hoping to get to see my husband tonight ;o)
