It's my birthday today. I'm 30 years old now, but I'm not freaking out. I'm aging gracefully. Okay, I can only say that because I already had my "early-life crisis" when I turned 25. And then again when I was 28. For some reason 25 made me feel old, as I figured now I had to round UP to 30, and also the insurance companies didn't even regard me as young and reckless anymore. Traumatic. Twenty-eight was 10 year reunion time, and that freaked me out because I started asking myself "What have I done in the last 10 years that's noteworthy?" and I came up with nothing. But I was mistaken, and I figured that out after a while. Being a good wife and a good mother to 3 children IS noteworthy, even though much of modern society may not think so. So now I'm 30, and I'm A-okay with it. I'm happy with who I am and what my life has turned out like so far. Grateful to be old enough to have learned a few things, but still young enough that I can learn lots more. Yep, 30 is alright with me.
Now these two wrinkles that seem to have suddenly appeared on my forehead are another matter altogether....

Happy Birthday, Sheyenne! I think Roman is a fantastic addition to Nursery. He cracks me up all day long.
Happy Birthday Sheyenne! Seriously I hope it was fabulous!
Sorry I didn't post this on your birthday, but Happy Belated Birthday anyway! Yep, 30's not that bad, and neither is 31. Here's hoping 32 is just the same, but give me another 1/2 a year to get there first and I'll tell ya. :)
