soo...this is what 30 feels like.

I had a whole post written for today.

I woke up, and something happened and I decided to delete and start over.

Today I am 30.  Still can't believe it.  There is something about being in your 30's that feels much more adult.  I like to think I can still act 20 something, and sometimes even 18.

Here is where I should tell you all my big accomplishments I have conquered in my 30 years.
Truth is...

I haven't climbed the tallest mountain.
I haven't ran any long races.
I haven't traveled to far off lands.
I haven't graduated from any big University.
I haven't got some major promotion at work.
What I am very proud of is...

My marriage, my children, and the other amazing people that I surrounded myself with.  To me that is by far the most important part of my 30 years.
So...ready or not...Von is 30...and I am going to show you just how cool it really can be!

Happy birthday to you!! I think you've accomplished the best things in your 30 years. Like a baby that will SLEEP while being pushed around a skating rink! (Love that picture).
I hope your day is fantastic! You're right, 30 ain't so bad :). I say that like I didn't just leave '30' behind a few weeks ago...

I agree when you turn 30, you feel more like you are now finally an adult, and one who has a past of accomplishments to be proud of! Family, kids, marriages etc.

Then again..I too feel like I should still be in the twenty somethings. I have always worked with alot of younger teenagers and felt like I still fit in, now I am 30 I just feel old compared to them LOL

Hope you have the best birthday ever! Happy 30th!

I just love your post. It gave me goose bumps! You should be proud of all that you have accomplished! I just love the pic of you and Devin! Man girl you look AWESOME!! Did you get my video's I sent you last night?

Heather said...

Happy birthday! You're looking great in that last photo!

Question, are the curls your real hair or is the straight your real hair? I'm picking straight because I dont know too many working mothers of two who find time to straighten their hair as perfectly straight as your is lol.

Those glasses totally made me giggle...I had a pair just that size and shape but bright purple! Oh dear! :P

Happy birthday! I guess it's not your b-day anymore. Oops. Reaching my "mid 30's" has been much harder than 30 was.

Happy Birthday! Since I don't get to say it on Facebook, this is the place. :)
I am glad you are taking 30 in stride. I never turned 30......went from 29 to 31.
Hope your day was wonderful.

Hailee said...

Happy Belated Birthday Evonne!! I hope that you had a great day and Paul spoiled you rotten. I think about you guys all the time. Hope all is well!!
PS. Tell me your tricks. How is the HECK did you get Devin to go to sleep at the roller skating rink?? My kids would have NEVER done that.
PPS. You are looking great.
