How about a *non* pregnancy-related post! We had the first of my three birthday celebrations last weekend with my family. My two cousins on my dad’s side and their parents were out here visiting, and it was so much fun getting to see them again. I saw Ray about four years ago when he came out with his dad, but I don’t think I’ve seen Jacki since I last went out to California back in high school. It’s crazy how rarely we all get to see each other, but that’s what happens when you live on opposite sides of the country. It was fun meeting Jacki’s husband, Brandon, too. He’s really nice, and he and Joe got along really well. Now that Jacki and Brandon live out on the east coast, though, maybe we’ll get to see them more.
My grandpa came home from rehab for the day, which was nice. It was good to see him again. Joe and I haven’t been able to get up to Chattanooga as much lately, so it’s been a while It was especially nice because we celebrated Jacki and Brandon’s anniversary and my 29th birthday. I got some gift cards and a paper cutter with various blades, which I’m excited about using. I have some neat ideas for cards. And, Randy and my mom made a *delicious* chocolate cake. Yum.
I’m not a big fan of turning 29 (it *is* one year away from 30!), but I do love having three celebrations!
Happy birthday hot stuff
I’m glad that you had an excellent birthday! Very cool that you had three celebrations! Those are great family pictures. You are very fortunate to have family nearby.
Ya gotta explain what type of cake it was since it appears there ar enuts or something in the frosting. How sweet of your bro to help with the cake!
Happy birthday! I’m turning 28 this September and I’m already a little freaked by 30.
I think if we already had kids – or one on the way!! – I wouldn’t feel as weird about it. The funny thing is, I’m not dying for kids right now, although I would be happy to be pregnant, but for some reason I am starting to see 30 as sort of a big deal.
Turning 30 was *great*! Nothing to worry about at all. I had a much harder time on my 29th birthday than my 30th. Things just got better and better. My 30s are infinately better than my 20s. (And hey, I’m looking at 34 this year so you’re still a spring chicken 😀 )
