Another Day Older......

I turned 30 yesterday.

I haven't been looking forward to this birthday, but it wasn't so bad.
I don't feel any different. But, I haven't actually had to answer the question
"How old are you?" with the dreaded answer, "Thirty".
That might be weird for the first few times.

My husband brought me this beautiful bouquet on Friday night, to kick off my birthday weekend.


I also got a package in the mail from my dear friend, Tracy (whom I wish would start a blog, hint, hint!)

When I opened the box, there were 30 individually wrapped gifts inside. One for each year of my life.

I had such a wonderful time sitting down and opening each and every thoughtful gift.

We drove up to Decatur for the weekend, to visit my family. We went out to eat on Sunday night with my mom. Of course, we got the obligitory free birthday dessert, but without the embarrasing staff birthday song! (THANK YOU!)

Once we got back to my mom's house, after dinner, Keith gave me my birthday present!

Oh, wait, I posted the wrong picture there.... :)
Here is my birthday present-

A new camera! And, that is the color- a pretty, pale pink. Keith said it isn't "girly pink", so he'll still be able to use the camera.

We came home yesterday and just spent the afternoon hanging out at home. Keith made me birthday brownies last night and sang Happy Birthday to me while I blew out my candles.
All my wishes have already come true.

I'm a very fortunate 30 year old.
