My 30th Birthday was February 24th - it came and went with not much fanfare (exactly how I like it). It fell on a Wednesday - work day, school day, dance and church day - not much out of the ordinary- except Will did surprise me with a cake at our church dinner!!!! Facebook made it exciting too- isn't it fun to receive all those birthday wishes in your inbox from people that you haven't heard from in years???? So, now I'm thirty, an official ADULT - b/c really, 18 does NOT make you an adult and apparently neither does having 3 children - b/c now I REALLY feel OLD!!!! But, being the youngest of my group of friends, I'm still the "baby". So last night, a small group of us got together at the prompting of my sweet friend Ashley and we celebrated!!!! She even got me this FABULOUS cake!!!!! She's pretty AWESOME!!!!!
Here are those that could make it on a busy Thursday night right before Spring Break - thanks for taking the time to celebrate with me!!!! Ya'll are the best friends EVER!!!!!
