Ahhh, to celebrate!

This is a big week in the world. For most people it means that Elvis has been gone for 30 years. But it also means that I have been here 30 years. Harder for some to believe than others. Several have asked how I am feeling about turning 30 and my honest answer is that it isn't so bad. I think it is partly because I am kind of where I thought I would be at 30. Obviously the details were fuzzy, but you know married with a couple of kids and a house and a dog - again. (another story for another day. short version: buddy has moved back in.) And it definitely helps that I have felt so loved and known this week. Starting with friends coming to town to celebrate and my husband throwing me a very surprise party (another story I will elaborate on soon). I have gotten some cards and well wishes and also some good insight into my life which was poignant and extremely helpful to some struggles I have had/am having. okat it's time to make dinner and wrangle my children who are not excited about my responsibility to update the world via blogging....
