So, I had a really great day (despite the fact that Joshua thought that 6:40 a.m. was a good time to get Mommy up on her birthday.) On my last night of my twenties Bobby and I went out an actual date and it was really fun, and he gave me a really sweet present. When Joshua woke me up at the butt-crack of dawn, I didn’t feel any different than I had he day before! No pall hung in the air. My face didn’t look any wrinklier. I felt normal!
The day was full of well-wishes. I got several b-day phone calls, a couple cards, a zillion emails and many, many shout outs from my blogging and Maya’s Mom friends. I felt truly celebrated! My friend Luanne took me out for lunch and coffee and we had a great time eating yummy Hawaiian pizza at Dewey’s and being girlfriends. Later in the day, my mommy brought me a chocolate cake. Since my b-day was a Wednesday, I went to church as usual, as Bobby and I work with the youth group. But instead of church, my hubby had cooked up a fabulous surprise party! It was so fun! Lots of good friends were there, including Emily and her sister Anna (together we are the Supercousins! Little known fact. We, like, save people while wearing spandex.) Of course this party includes a beautiful, sparkly, “Over the Hill” tiara, black cake with a vulture, a black rose, black plates, cups, etc. Verryyyyy funny! And there were MORE presents!! From a GIANT PRINT Bible to a slew of Mary Kay products (gotta fight those wrinkles!!), the presents were GREAT. After awhile the party got a little messy and I ended up with black icing all over my nose. BUT my son didn’t puke on anyone or anything, so all in all, it was a huge success!
By the way, 30 is the new black. Woot Woot! And, I just wanted to let you all know it’s only…
