30, Flirty and Thriving...





So today marks a big day for me...my 30th birthday!!! I was lucky enough to get to celebrate it in 2 parts. The last night we were in Florida the girls and I watched the movie "13 Going on 30" - one of my favorites! The guys made a yummy lobster and shrimp dinner. Then we ended the night with a strawberry ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery (it was wonderful!). It was so much fun to celebrate a little early with friends. There was a horrible cold that was passed around our house in Florida and I was so thankful that I had not gotten it. Well, yesterday I woke up with it and today I felt horrible! I was bummed about being sick on my big day but we made the best of it. My boys took me to Eureka Springs where we visited Blue Springs Heritage Center...a place that would be beautiful and much appreciated in the Spring, however it was 100 degrees today so we made our stay there very quick. Once we came home we put Cole in the baby pool and played and then had dinner at Logan's Roadhouse...one of my favorite places. It was so nice to have a low key day with Rhonald and Cole. I cannot believe that I am 30 years old!!!! Rhonald and I watched the movie "The Bucket List" after Cole went to bed last night...it made me think about all of the things I have done in my life and all that I hope to do. It was a nice time of reflection and I can honestly say that looking back over the years I am happy with the person I have become. All I can say is...thank you boys for a wonderful day. I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you!
