the big three O


30 years ago today i was born my mom tells me i never cried and i had a perfectly round head. she tells me that every year its pretty sweet i think. she says my older sisters lugged me everywhere and i just let them. i sure wish things were still as simple as they were back then!! I woke up this morning needing a drink terry had already gone to work, so i made my way to the kitchen still half asleep and trying to adjust my eyes and all of the sudden i felt something at my feet i looked down and it was a balloon then i saw many more balloons and streamers. Terry had decorated the balloons led me to the kitchen where there was not one but 2 cards for me from him. What a sweet man he is. about a half hour after that i heard the door opening and there was my sweet husband with beautiful flowers just the kind i love. I feel so incredibly spoiled and special. How did i ever get so lucky? tonight we are going to st. george for dinner it will be fun. i have been thinking about this birthday for a long time and what it means to be 30. i remember as a kid in young womens and such making lists of where you will be when you are 20, 25, 30 and so on i now know there is no way you can truly predict where your life will be because there are always curve balls being thrown which changes the direction of where you are going. I am so incredibly thankful for those curve balls, if it weren't for them i wouldn't be sitting here in mesquite married to the most wonderful man ever. i love my life how it is and anxiously await the bumps in the road that might come my way the next 30 years.
