The dreaded 30!!

On Sunday I turned 30 years old! And it was great, didn't feel doomed at all, actually felt excited.  It was such a great birthday, I felt so special and loved all day long and even through yesterday. My Grandpa Danny says that you are supposed to celebrate your birthday at least for a week and so far so good.....
Friday night we got home late from our turkey hunting trip in AZ. There were packages waiting! A card from my Aunt Vickie with birthday money (YES!) A gift with fun travel stuff and birthday money from my grandma and grandpa Fralie (YES!) and an awesome cupcake pan that you can fill cupcakes with yumminess and birthday money from my mom and dad to buy rainboots (YES!), and an awesome homemade button bracelet that is amazing! And a Shark Vac-then Steam that I had ordered!
Saturday my amazing sister-in-law took me for a girls night out. We got pedicures, went to eat at Panera Bread, went to the movies to see Water for Elephants and got there in time to get the cheaper priced tickets (woohoo), then we walked over to JCPenneys and Candi helped me pick out an outfit to wear to church.  Then to Starbucks and home to my sweet family.  When I got home Joe said the girls were waiting for hugs from me on our bed. So I went in there to cuddle them and Danae couldn't contain it any more she had to give me the birthday cards they had made me. Brought tears to my eyes, she had wrote (with her daddy's help of course) happy birthday mommy.
Then Sunday we headed to church, great day with friends and family there.  My great friend Kimberly surprised me with a gift, she knows I love to cook and entertain so it's a crock dish that has a metal holder  and a place for candles underneath to warm food.  After church we went to Joe's parents house. Joe's mom, Darlene, had put a purple table cloth on the table with beautiful flowers and pretty purple packages holding my presents.   She also made her amazing sub sandwiches and a chocolate cake.  My gift was a much wanted Kindle! I was so excited and surprised! Joe had told me that my new Shark Steam-then-Vac was my gift....goober! And I got some wonderful scrapbook paper from my brother-in-law, I love to scrapbook so this feeds my habit!  After all the festivities we headed home and I got to take a much needed/wanted nap! So amongst the birthday texts, phone calls, facebook messages and love from my family it was a great day!
Monday my college roommate Jill Papa, who miraculously moved to Conway Arkansas this past year took me to lunch at.....Panera Bread, (yes I think that I'm addicted to that place thanks to Candi)   And then my wonderful in laws who had already given me so much on Sunday took the whole family out to eat at Colton's Steakhouse!
So as of right now 30 isn't so bad! But I do think it came rather quickly! I was thinking that from 10 to 20 seemed to take a very long time! But 20 to 30 really flew by!!!!
