30

we all have to join the 30 club at some point

and today was my day

i said "good-bye" to my 20's and let that decade fade into memory while stepping into the third decade of this wildly wonderful life

it started last night with a pedicure and long overdue chat with someone i truly adore

and continued this morning with 30 cards and letters from 30 people who love me...organized by my amazing husband

while they were all special and the thoughts put into them brought tears to my eyes, my very favorite one was from the hubster himself

what a guy, huh?

who needs presents when i've got him...

and them...

i had a proud moment as peach tackled her very first scrapbook, filled with a million stickers

(notice the wardrobe change - we've had lots of those lately...not sure what's up with that, but i'm learning to choose my battles)

then, she instructed her little sister in writing the alphabet

the girl has mad writing skills...

we enjoyed abundant snuggles

and a photo shoot

and i had some good laughs as the girls tried to incorporate sparkle into their play

we ended it with frozen yogurt, a movie and good talks with j about what the next 10 years might bring....

i'll confess:  i wasn't really looking forward to turning 30, but i can't deny that as the day came and went, i could not ignore the fact that my cup is absolutely overflowing right now

a good measure, pressed down, shaken and overflowing

i'm thinkin'  30 might not be so bad
