The Big 30!

That’s right.  Yesterday was my birthday.  And now I’m 30.

As my Mom put it, I’m finally officially an adult.  🙂

I thought all day about turning the big “three-oh” and how I should commemorate it, but I didn’t come up with anything special.  At one point I thought about eating 30 cookies, but after 6 or so, I realized how many 30 really was!   I also tried to think of 30 things I might want to accomplish, but I got too lazy and gave up on that.

So, it was a pretty uneventful day.  But we did go to the beach in the morning with the Bakers, which was awesome for Chloe to be able to run off some energy.  And then we went to Fuddrucker’s for supper because I was craving a nice big ice cream shake and hamburger, so that was also fun.  JD was a peach and slept while we were at the restaurant, and Chloe thoroughly enjoyed her grilled cheese sandwich.

I had a hard time getting very excited about this Birthday–having a baby just a couple of weeks ago kind of trumps a regular old birthday.  Even a semi-momentous one like turning 30.   Plus you add on the fact that I’m tired, so I pretty much just lounged on the couch watching t.v. most of the day.  Don’t get me wrong though, I’m not complaining or anything.  JD did give me a nice gift of sleeping for 5 hours straight.  It’s funny how gifts are totally different the older you get.  Who would have ever thought that sleep would be such a wonderful gift?  🙂

We swung by Target on the way home so Tim could help me look at hair dye.  I decided that it would be fun to try and lighten my hair a little (no, I’m not having a crisis about turning 30, I just thought it would be fun!).  It’s easier to look at colors with someone else to tell you what might look stupid… So we decided on just one shade lighter than my current color.  So I put it in this morning.  And I was going to post a picture of the result, but after comparing my before and after pictures, I’m pretty sure it didn’t change.  hah!  I think it’s maybe a tinge more red, but it’s hard to tell.  I’ll ask Tim when he gets home.  I suppose safe is better seeing as we have the wedding this weekend to go to!  😀

But since there are no pictures in this post yet, here’s one…  I found Chloe “loving” JD this morning.
