While My Computer Was Away; I Turned 30!!

On May 26, 2010 I hit a milestone in my life...I turned 30 years old! Of course, I don't feel any older...or really look any older (or so I hope), but it is a whole other sense of being, especially since I mostly work with teenagers and early twenty-somethings. It's crazy how that one extra little digit puts an entirely different perspective on things. There's a whole other set of health risks that I never had to worry about in my twenties; new anti-aging and skin-care regimens to consider and of course the reality that I'm not getting any younger and I want to have another baby, coupled with the fact that we are not as financially stable as I had hoped to be at this point in my life, is always at the forefront of my thoughts. Overall though, I try to stay as positive as possible and take comfort in the fact that I am healthy and happy and more importantly, so is my family. With that knowledge in hand, nothing else really matters!

I did have a wonderful birthday! Izzy & Clark and My Mama & Daddy got me a Wii, which I LOVE! Kaylee & Marshall got me a draped vest that I had been eyeing, Robin gave a pretty potted flower & balloons, tank and word magnets (which are the hit of the YMCA), Joe gave me a Wal-Mart gift card, K & Trista, Clark & Norma, Trinnie & Mike, Stinker & Skye all gave me money, Candi, Travis & the Boys gave me a Hobby Lobby gift card & some Simply Tasteful goodies, Kristi sent me a package with some Bath & Body Works soap & lotion in a decorative holder & a candle, and Frissen, Brooks & Carter sent me an oil-rubbed bronze iron-work bowl, a new potholder and candle for my new kitchen! My Daddy showed-up in the afternoon and took Izzy to his house to spend the night and Clark told me to get ready we were going somewhere. So I did what I was told and we headed towards Greensboro (he had directions, so I knew he didn't quite know where we were going and he let it slip that we were meeting people, he just didn't say who)! We finally found the place and a parking space nearby, but as we were walking in I turned my ankle over on a rock on the sidewalk and fell on my left knee! Thank goodness I was holding Clark's hand or probably would have landed on my face! I ripped two holes in my brand-new jeans and my knee is still skint-up, over a month later! Regardless, when we got inside Robin, Joe & his girlfriend, Derek, Felix, Karen & Trista where there to surprise me! I am very blessed to have such wonderful friends & family to give me such a very happy birthday!
