Oh @#*% I'm 30!

Well, it happened. I turned 30 and guess what... I survived! So, I worried over the big day and the idea of turning 30. The big day was Monday. I had a wondeful day. Sunday, my mom cooked a big family birthday dinner. It was my favorites- pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, and broccoli with cheese sauce. Then a great birthday cake from Mickey's- chocolate on chocolate. Then, Monday I had the day to myself. No work and no Ross for the morning. It was so relaxing. Then a date with my wife. Can you believe! Just the 2 of us! We went to a nice, romantic dinner. The weather was so nice we ate on the porch at Acadia. I tried soemthing new. I ate duck. It was tasty. The side dish was even better- cheese grits! Dessert was a mixed berry cobbler for me and a carmel chocolate tort for Leah. 

Oh, the presents were unbelievable. Leah (being the wonderful wife she is) had a portrait of Ross commissioned for me. A childhood friend of Leah's took a picture of Ross and turned it into an unbelievable oil portrait. I am the luckiest woman on the face of the earth. My family gave me (us) a new video camera. Leah was so intelligent on this. She took the initiative and told my sister that we needed a new video camera. I am terrible at asking for gifts. I am over joyed to have a new camera.

Well, I can now say with a smile that I am 30!!!! I would not change where I am in life for anything. Life right at this moment is just where I  want to be. I have a wife that loves and adores me (and that I love and adore too), a son that makes me smile more and more each day, an extended family that I cherish spending time with, a job I enjoy, and a house that keeps me safe. Life is GOOD!
