Birthday times!

Happy Birthday to me! So, yes, I just turned 30 but NO, I don't feel old! I feel like I already wrote this post but I realized it was in my journal- like the real, life paper one.:) I don't feel old because I think I've done everything I've ever wanted to do in life- at least before turning 30:
I graduated from High School
I graduated from BYU with a degree in something I love
I got married in the temple to a great guy I love and respect, can have fun with and be with for the rest of eternity.
I've had three beautiful kids that keep me plenty busy and always laughing
I've had and have now, callings that make me stretch and learn and grow and keep me from feeling stagnant
We have a house with great neighbors and a great ward...
My life is great!

So, because I have a little babe, it was a pretty laid back day- my boys made me German pancakes for breakfast (tradition), we opened presents, went to Wingers for lunch, watched my birthday movie from Weston (Milo and Otis- he picked it out :) and then had the family over to visit, eat ice cream and open more presents:

I definitely feel loved!


Having a little bonfire on our fabulous patio...

Little cousins eating ice cream...
What a great day!

My favorite present, I think, was a copy of all of my mom's journal entries from each of my birthdays from the day I was born until I turned 18... Just makes me feel special!
