The Big 3-0

I turned 30 on September 29th.  Wow!  Seems crazy!  I remember always thinking that 30 was old.  Not so much anymore.  I decided to embrace it and not be all gloom and doom about it.  My birthday was great!  Last year my birthday was awful so I made sure to make this one special.  I went shopping the day before and bought a "birthday outfit" to wear on my big day.  One of my good friends threw me a birthday party lunch with a few other friends.  It was so nice to get together and chat and just have fun. After lunch, I went to a bookstore and loaded up on books.  I love to read!  Then I went home and baked my own birthday cake.  (But only because I wanted to bake my own cake!)  I use to have the traditional Rex Spice cake every year when I was younger and I haven't had it for years so that is what I made and it was soooo good!  Dave brought home dinner from my favorite, Freebirds.  And then I opened gifts.  It was a perfect day!
