January 13, 1981

Is the day I was born. Which means today is my 30th birthday. Its a good feeling. Last year when I turned 29, I felt a mild panic in the back of my mind as I realized I would be turning 30 next. I guess over the last year, I have come to love the idea of turning 30. Why I am excited to be 30. 1. I look forward to the wisdom I see in women I know who are in their 30's. 2. Physically, I feel great. I love the place I am at with my kids, my marriage, my life. My 30's are my new prime =0). 3. I decided that I am going to spend the rest of my life thinking how young I used to be, so instead of wasting my youth, I'm going to enjoy how young I am and feel young right now =0). Also, I really love my birthday. I take it very seriously. This one has proven to be a GREAT one. I'm in a great mood. I was greeted with lots of great happy birthday hugs from my sweet girls, my cherub baby, and my wonderful husband. I took the kids over to play group, and then really enjoyed lunch with my girlfriends. I am looking forward to a night out with BR that was completely planned by him. I told him I don't care what we do, all I want is for him to plan it completely. I'm excited whatever it is. So here I am. 30 years old. Happy Birthday to me.

[This is where I should be inserting a picture of myself....I'm postponing that to a future date =0).]
