30 and doing fine!

Well, today's the day. I am officially 30. I really don't have a problem with being 30 as to 29, but it's just weird to say. 30. I remember when my parents were in their 30s and now here I am. I think having three kids makes turning 30 not as big of deal. Whenever someone asks if Tyler is my first and I tell them my third, I'm not feeling very youthful.

30 is good. Looking back on my 20s, although wonderful in many, many ways, 20s are hard! Get though college, get married, first real job, start a family, husband still in school with a family, it's tough. Plus mine had a few more downs than most when I lost my mom and brother. So I'm ready to be 30.

So far 30 is filled with anticipation. We are moving in about two weeks and as of today I think it will be Oregon. (Long story, don't ask!) My wonderful husband who has worked so hard will finally start this career of his. My kids are getting big so fast. My 30s will be all about watching them grow and building strong relationships with them. And we can't forget to mention, my apartment days will soon be over!!

30 is going to be great!

Hooray for 30! I agree, 30 is much more fun than 20, and (hopefully) less eventful! I finally felt like a genuine grown-up, and not someone impersonating one, when I turned 30. Welcome!

Happy belated birthday! I miss you! You will get through this move. I know you won't think so sometimes. Moving with three kids is pretty impossible. But you will get through it! Best of luck!

PS-I want the "i think it's oregon we're moving to" backstory...

Happy Birthday! I am turning 30 this year too, and it is weird but with the third one coming it is not bad at all. I hope the 30's are good to you!

Happy Birthday to you! I hope that your move goes smoothly for you and the kids. I'm excited for you to move into something that is bigger than an apartment....you'll have to post some pictures of the extra square footage.

Happy Happy Late Birthday! What?!? You were even THINKING of moving somewhere OTHER than OR? What is going on? I've been pretty much counting off the days until you get here...made myself a little paper chain and everything. I need to call you!
