This post is a bit late, but I decided I better document it.... if only for posterity's sake!
I turned 30 on July 19th. I actually was fine about it on my birthday. It was the day before that I freaked out at the thought of leaving my 20's behind..... my last day of 29-- FOREVER! {sniff, sniff} I know my sisters don't feel any sorrow for me and most of my friends for that matter so that is all I will say about the incident!
Nate had to leave on a business trip early on the 19th (we're about 50/50 with him being around on my birthday) so I managed church alone.... my first time with all the kids! We (I) survived. My parents made me a yummy dinner and cake so the kids and I enjoyed the evening at their house. My mom turned 60 ten days after I turned 30.... I am exactly 1/2 her age. (She also had 6 kids at 30..... I'll have 5 at 30. I'm glad it isn't a contest!)
Nate took me out the night before and gave me a day spa gift certificate and a dozen yellow roses. I told him yellow means "friendship".... all he said was, "I thought they looked summery." I was just trying to give him a hard time and he's right, they are summery. I loved them and he is my best friend so they were perfect! I had a great birthday and I'll be fine for another 9 years and Three Hundred some odd days.....

You still look like you are in your early 20's if that makes you feel any better. Love ya lil Sis!
Hard to believe that you are 30 because I still forget that I am not 22 sometimes. Now it is ok to have "older" sisters.=) I was wondering where you got the "summery" yellow roses. Cute pics. of Haleys birthday too. You make me smile Jilleen thank you!!
Happy Birthday girl, again! I'm glad you survived! It's tough taking kids when the hubby's gone. You are super darling by the way! How come you can't look prego like the rest of us? (I'm not announcing....I just LOOK pregnant when I'm pregnant--you don't look prego at all!)
I hope you had a great day!
