The morning I turned thirty was spent on the back deck, under an umbrella, with a giant cup of my favorite coffee, donuts, oatmeal, and five people who love me like crazy – just as I am, quirks and all!
I turned thirty with a kiss from my husband, a song from my kiddos (who had a hard time making eye contact while they sang because Little Einsteins was competing for their attention in the background), and the breakfast of my choice brought to me on a tray by my mother-in-law.
We sat there for three hours, sipping, laughing, telling, and, in Hazel’s case, trying to sneak into the pool for an early morning swim.
If this is thirty, I guess it’s not so bad after all!
[and I think she wore that shirt this morning just for her Mommy]
Thank you all for your kind birthday wishes and “thirty isn’t so bad!” encouragement :)
Now excuse me while I jump in the pool with my blondies – they make me feel as young as ever!
happy birthday!! i am firm believer age is just a number & that you are only as old as you feel :) the thirties were some of the best years yet & now that i’ve crossed over into my forties..well it’s not so bad here either!
Happy birthday to you! I turned 30 in March and it was one of my favorite birthdays yet! Enjoy!
Ditto, only my thirtieth was in April. We had a terrific birthday celebration and I still don’t feel old! :)
Happy birthday, Raechel!
Happy Birthday. Oh I wish I was 30 again….the years go faster and faster it seems. I do love the 30’s so far, being 3 years into it. Enjoy the kiddos and the pool:)
Happy Birthday!! I am looking forward to turning 30 soon too. I think it will be a great year when it comes. I am not sure why, but I think there is a lot of good things to anticipate. You look like you have a lot to be grateful for. All the best :)
